The Underboss Voted No So I Chose A New Life Chapter 36
There was no *forgive me* at the end of the letter.
I put it in a drawer and didn’t reply.
Some relationships can end with just a clear understanding.
Not every apology has to earn a reunion.
Hadrian still managed that hotel.
Later, the boss offered him another chance to return to the Family’s core business, and he refused again.
He didn’t leave New York, and he never flew to Austin again.
After the East Coast feature won its award, the hotel sent a congratulatory email as a partner.
The signature was from the whole team.
His name was listed between the deputy manager and the front desk supervisor.
No personal note.
After I read it, I moved the email to the project archive.
Cameron asked me, “What are you looking at?”
“An old partner.”
“Need to reply?”
“My assistant already did.”
He nodded and set two tickets on the table.
“Our vacation request got approved.”
The destination was New Orleans.
The last time we went, it had been for work.
This time, the two tickets were booked under our separate names, and each of us had our own account access to cancel or change them.
The day before we left, Cameron asked if I thought I might change my mind at the last minute.
