“I think you need to start dating again.”
The words hit me like I suspect a baseball bat to the head would. They
make me a bit nauseous, and when I really think about the implications of
following through with that particular suggestion, the world threatens to go
fuzzy.

It’s like my body’s instinct is to shut down to protect itself.
“Ivy, are you okay?”
I look over the brunch table at my two best friends in the world and roll
my eyes. Anika asked the question, but I turn Harper’s way since I’m sure
she’s the one who made the suggestion that threatened to send me into a
spiral. “Seriously? Do you remember what happened the last time I gave
dating a shot? Should I call up any of the numerous articles detailing my
downfall, or would you like an oral report on the current condition of my life
and career?”
I don’t have much of either one, and a big part of that had been my choice
in romantic partners.
Anika leans forward, avoiding her half-empty mimosa glass to put a hand
on my arm. “We know what happened.”
That’s the trouble. She knows. Harper knows. The server probably
knows. Everyone knows. My story is out there all over every tech journal and
permeating the Internet like viral video gone wrong. My life dissected and
turned into a cautionary tale.
Tech Goddess Brought Down by Dumbass Man Who Can’t Do Math
They’ll put it on my tombstone someday. Except I won’t have one. I’m
totally choosing the cremation route, and hopefully someone throws a
handful of me in Nick Stafford’s face and he chokes on me.
After all, I damn straight choked on the ashes of the company he singlehandedly burned to the ground.
“That’s exactly why I think you need to try again.” Nothing deflects
Harper when she gets an idea in her head. That stubborn will serves her well
as a woman in the male-dominated industry of construction. “It’s been six
months and you’re back home. You’ve done everything you need to
concerning the sale of the company, and it’s time to move on with your life.”
She’s right about one thing. “I agree with you. Not about dating, but
about moving forward when it comes to work. I’m going to Cecelia Foust’s
cocktail party tonight.”
More words that threaten to shake my carefully constructed calm, but this
is something I’m going to do.
Anika’s brows rise, and I can see she’s barely managing to avoid rolling
those blue eyes of hers. “Cecelia? Really?”
I’d gotten a last-minute invite to the party that would be filled with some
of the world’s wealthiest investors. Walking into that party is going to be
rough, and it will take a whole lot of bravado I’m not sure I have anymore.
