Three months later, Daniel hosted another company event at the same house.
The pool was still there.
So was the place where Claire had fallen.
This time, when she arrived, everyone noticed.
Not because of scandal.
Because she had become the new financial director of the company.
Daniel greeted her near the entrance.
You avoiding the pool tonight?
Claire smiled.
Very funny.
Victoria was no longer part of the company.
The missing money had been recovered.
The investigation was still ongoing.
Claire walked toward the terrace.
Daniel followed.
She looked at the water.
Funny how everything changed right here.
Daniel nodded.
One push.
One video.
One truth nobody could hide anymore.
Claire smiled.
Then maybe falling in was worth it.
Daniel laughed.
Do not say that too loudly.
Claire looked around at the guests.
Three months earlier, they had laughed when she climbed out of the pool.
Now they were applauding when she walked into the room.
And Claire knew exactly which moment she preferred.
