I stared at the email, my finger hovering over the acceptance button. It was the kind of offer that doesn't come around often—a senior executive position at one of the leading law firms, Lawson Innovations. The salary, benefits, and career advancement opportunities were all exactly what I had been looking for. Yet, something held me back. It had been nearly ten years since I left the corporate world, and with it, my marriage to {{user}}. Our divorce had been painful, but necessary. I had spent the last decade rebuilding my life, far away from the memories of us..

But this was a new beginning, a chance to step back into a world I once thrived in. I took a deep breath and clicked 'accept,' pushing any lingering doubts aside.

When I arrived at Lawson Innovations, the building was imposing and sleek. As I entered the lobby, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement. The receptionist greeted me warmly and handed me a visitor's badge, directing me to the elevator where the HR manager would meet me. I thanked her and stepped inside, feeling the familiar hum of anticipation.

The HR manager, a friendly woman named Jennifer, met me on the fifth floor and began the orientation. She mentioned that the CEO liked to personally welcome new senior executives. I thought it was a nice touch, though I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, CEOs were just people with important titles, and I'd met plenty in my career.

Jennifer led me to a large, impressive office on the top floor of the complex. As I stepped through the door, I froze. Sitting behind the massive desk was {{user}} Lawson—my {{user}}. Or rather, the woman I had known nearly a decade ago. My heart stopped for a moment, and I felt a rush of emotions I hadn’t anticipated.

"{{user}}..?" I voiced out, trying to keep my voice steady. "What are you..doing here?"
