My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 174: The Dilemma
The notification from the European regulatory authority arrived on a Monday morning in May, routed through Bridge's legal team to Jack's desk by ten o'clock with the subject line that legal teams used when they wanted to convey seriousness without causing panic before the principals had read the underlying document.Jack read the underlying document.The claim was that Bridge's matching algorithm, in its operation across European markets, demonstrated a pattern of discriminatory practice in certain demographic interactions: specifically, that applicants from particular regional backgrounds were being matched to mentors at a statistically lower rate than the algorithm's overall performance suggested they should be, and that this disparity was consistent enough across a sufficient sample size to constitute a systemic pattern rather than statistical noise.He read it twice. Then he forwarded it to Amara, his Head of Data Science, with a single line: I need you to tell me if this is right
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 173: The Conversation
The conversation started, as many of their significant conversations did, at dinner, on a Tuesday evening in April, not because they had planned it for Tuesday but because Tuesday was when both of them happened to be home at the same time with enough of the day's momentum behind them to think clearly.Priya had made the dal she made when she was cooking rather than feeding them, which was a distinction Jack had learned across years of living with her: she cooked the dal when she had time to do it properly and when she needed the particular focus of a task that required attention without requiring thought. Jack had come home to the smell of it and understood that she had been thinking about something.They ate, and talked about other things first — a staffing issue at Aravind, the Brazil partnership rollout that had been running behind schedule and had finally found its pace — and then Priya set down her fork and said: "I want to talk about adoption."Not should we talk about, or I've
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 172: What Priya Carries
It happened on a Sunday, eleven weeks in, which Priya knew was within the range where this was common and which she also knew, because she had read everything there was to read about it twice over in the past eight months, was a fact that helped less than anyone who had not been through it might expect.The first one, the previous autumn, had been earlier — seven weeks — and had been, in the language the clinic used, "consistent with a chemical pregnancy," a phrase that Priya had turned over for days afterward with the specific dissatisfaction of someone whose professional life was built on the precision of language and who found this particular phrase both technically accurate and almost entirely useless as a description of what had actually happened to her.This one was different. Eleven weeks was long enough that they had let themselves, carefully, begin to believe it. Not announce it — they were still not telling anyone — but believe it privately, in the small ways: Priya had stop
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 171: Bridge at Scale
The Bridge offices occupied two floors of a building in King's Cross that had been a Victorian warehouse before it was anything else, and Jack had kept the exposed brick and the original iron columns because he liked the reminder that things could be repurposed without losing what made them sound. He was twenty-nine and had been running the company for eleven years, since the app he had built at fifteen had become something larger than either he or anyone else had initially imagined it could be.Bridge now operated in forty countries. Three million users. The mentorship-matching algorithm that had once been the subject of a regulatory challenge was now, six years on, cited as the industry standard, the framework that other companies were measured against rather than the framework that had needed defending. The partnership programme — governments, universities, NGOs, all running their mentorship initiatives on Bridge's infrastructure — had become large enough that Jack had, the previou
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 170: The Wedding
The wedding was in October, in a converted chapel on the grounds of a small estate outside Dublin, the kind of venue that had once been something else entirely and had been given over, with care, to becoming what it was now needed for.The Cross family arrived in full, which meant a level of logistical complexity that Lucien took on with the quiet efficiency he had brought to every family event for thirty years and that retirement had not diminished, only relocated. He had spent the week before coordinating flights and accommodations and the specific requirements of moving a family that now spanned three generations and several countries into a single Irish location for four days. Leo and Daniel arrived from London with Clara, now ten and full of opinions about Irish wildlife she had researched in advance, and Matteo, seven, who had brought a small bag of marine specimens he had collected on a previous trip and wanted to compare against whatever he found on the Irish coast. Jack and P
My Ex's Boss is My Baby's Father Chapter 169: The Proposal
It was a Wednesday in late August, and Emma had not eaten since breakfast.She had been in the studio since seven that morning, working on the Berlin commission, a piece that had grown out of the Tokyo work but had developed its own logic in the months since: a single suspended form, larger than anything in Shed, made to hang in the atrium of a gallery in Mitte with a ceiling height that allowed for something genuinely vertical. She had been working on the structural armature for three days and had reached the point in a piece where the work absorbed time without registering it, where the studio's windows went from morning light to afternoon light to the long gold of early evening without the transition announcing itself.Saoirse let herself in at half past six with two paper bags from the place down the street, the Thai restaurant that did the green curry Emma liked, and found Emma standing on a step stool with her arms raised into the armature, adjusting something at the top with th

I wore long sleeves to work the next day, even though it was warm outside. A black turtleneck under my oversized blazer, hiding the bruises Travis had left on my arm.But I'd forgotten about the meeting with Lucien to review final production schedules.We sat in his office, spreadsheets and timelin

Five weeks until Fashion Week.The collection was coming together beautifully. Every piece was precisely constructed, the innovative techniques working even better than I'd hoped. We were ahead of schedule for once, which should have relieved the pressure.Instead, the tension was getting worse. Be

I was crying over a sketch when Lucien found me.It was past midnight. The building was empty except for security and the cleaning crew. I'd been working on collection details, refining pieces, making sure every element was perfect.Then I'd drawn something without thinking. A small jacket with ori
