Transcript

00:00:05After seven years together, my fiancé Camden, as CEO, transferred me to the London branch

00:00:11to head up the business.

00:00:12I thought he was finally ready to take my abilities seriously.

00:00:17Instead, outside the break room, I overheard him on the phone, giving instructions to a

00:00:21friend.

00:00:22Lock down Renata's flight info.

00:00:23Next Tuesday, Bella and I head to City Hall to make it official, then throw a party.

00:00:28Make sure she's out of the country by then.

00:00:30Cam, you're playing both sides.

00:00:31What if Renata finds out?

00:00:32She won't.

00:00:33I've buried her in enough work.

00:00:35She doesn't have the bandwidth to notice.

00:00:37Besides, I gave her the overseas business she's always wanted.

00:00:40Even if she finds out, she'll accept it.

00:00:43A man who's made it this far, how could he only have one woman in his life?

00:00:47I stood there.

00:00:48It took a few seconds before it sank in.

00:00:51So that's how it was.

00:00:52Fine.

00:00:53This time, when I leave for London, I'm not coming back.

00:00:55I walked back to my office and looked at Camden Moretti sitting across from my desk.

00:01:00When he saw me come in, he stood and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair from my

00:01:04cheek.

00:01:05I tilted my head away.

00:01:14Did you read the transfer email?

00:01:20I did.

00:01:21I'm happy with it.

00:01:23Good.

00:01:24Don't run yourself ragged over there.

00:01:26Whatever you want to buy, put it on the corporate Amex.

00:01:29I had the limit removed for you.

00:01:30I'm going there to run a business.

00:01:33Not on vacation.

00:01:35Right.

00:01:35You always put work first.

00:01:38A knock at the door.

00:01:40Renata, Camden, this is the commemorative album for the core team's seventh anniversary.

00:01:45Everyone's already signed it.

00:01:46We just need our two founders.

00:01:47I took the album and looked at it for a long time.

00:01:50On the cover was the photo from seven years ago, the day we wrote our first line of code

00:01:53in his parents' garage.

00:01:55Back then, Camden was in a faded t-shirt, his arm around my shoulders, grinning ear to

00:01:59ear.

00:02:00He had promised me, the day the company went public on NASDAQ, he'd throw me the biggest

00:02:06wedding.

00:02:09I handed the album to Camden.

00:02:11His eyes didn't linger on the photo.

00:02:14He flipped straight to the last page and signed his name.

00:02:17We don't need to do these anniversary albums anymore.

00:02:19Everyone's stretched thin.

00:02:27After Ashley left, Camden's phone buzzed on the desk.

00:02:30The screen lit up with one name, Bella.

00:02:33He glanced at the screen, then glanced at me.

00:02:37When he answered, his voice noticeably softened.

00:02:41Hmm.

00:02:42I'm still at the office.

00:02:43That place is too greasy.

00:02:45Your stomach can't handle it.

00:02:47Pick somewhere else.

00:02:48Okay?

00:02:49I'll come get you later.

00:02:52After hanging up, he turned around, adjusted his tie, and slipped back into all business

00:02:59mode.

00:03:00Tuesday's flight.

00:03:02The execs over there are waiting for you.

00:03:05Don't delay it.

00:03:07Tuesday?

00:03:08Are you taking me to the airport?

00:03:10Camden's fingers paused.

00:03:11He avoided my eyes.

00:03:13There's a major investor summit on Tuesday.

00:03:14Can't get away.

00:03:15He said it without looking at me.

00:03:16His thumb brushing twice over the ring and dent on his forefinger.

00:03:18He didn't know he did that.

00:03:19I did.

00:03:20He always did it when he lied.

00:03:21Okay.

00:03:22Since you're handing the whole region over to me, sign this too.

00:03:26The agreement for London Branch Independent Operations.

00:03:29It'll make my decisions a lot smoother.

00:03:33Independent operations?

00:03:35Is that really necessary?

00:03:37We're working across time zones.

00:03:39If every move has to wait for New York's approval, the window closes.

00:03:48He was in a hurry to see Isabella.

00:03:50He left fast.

00:03:53Renata, do good work over there.

00:03:55It's for your own good.

00:03:59After work, I went home to grab my passport.

00:04:02The door opened, and I stopped.

00:04:05Isabella was standing on the wool rug, barefoot, in Camden's shirt.

00:04:08When she saw me, she smiled.

00:04:11Renata, what brings you here at this time?

00:04:14Cam's still in the shower.

00:04:15She shifted to one side.

00:04:16The hickey on her neck wasn't hidden.

00:04:18I came for my passport.

00:04:19Isabella followed me.

00:04:21Cam said you'd fly out next week.

00:04:22London gets cold.

00:04:24Pack extra layers.

00:04:25Otherwise, Cam will worry about you again.

00:04:27I pulled open the drawer, fished out the passport, and dropped it in my bag.

00:04:31The shower water shut off.

00:04:32Camden walked out, toweling his hair.

00:04:34A towel around his waist.

00:04:36When he saw me, he froze.

00:04:37Renata?

00:04:38What are you doing here?

00:04:40Almost on instinct, he stepped forward and put Isabella behind him.

00:04:43I looked at him.

00:04:44For seven years, I'd handled investors' doubts for him.

00:04:46I pulled countless all nights with him.

00:04:48The temperature dropped.

00:04:50The person he was guarding her from now was me.

00:04:52Cam, does Renata hate me?

00:04:54She won't even speak to me.

00:04:56Don't read into it.

00:04:57She's just exhausted lately.

00:04:58I took my passport and turned to leave.

00:05:00Passing the coffee table, I slowed down, and the bottom drawer was open to crack.

00:05:03Inside was a wedding photo proof, shot on the beach in the Hamptons.

00:05:06In the photo, Camden was in a white suit, leaning down to kiss Isabella, his smile unmistakable.

00:05:11Beside it was a cardio custom order for matching rings.

00:05:13I drew in a breath and looked away.

00:05:15Camden followed my gaze.

00:05:17His face changed instantly.

00:05:19Renata, it's not what you're thinking.

00:05:21And what is it?

00:05:21Camden opened his mouth.

00:05:23A few seconds passed before he answered, quietly.

00:05:25I owe her.

00:05:26It doesn't change us.

00:05:27Once you're back from London, I'll give you that Upper East Side townhouse you've always loved.

00:05:30My chest felt heavy.

00:05:32So seven years could be weighed and priced, dracently trichting this neatly.

00:05:34No, thank you.

00:05:35Camden took quick steps over, reaching to grab my arm.

00:05:38Renata, don't pick a fight right now.

00:05:39His fingertips brushed the back of my hand, then stopped.

00:05:42Why are your hands so cold?

00:05:43The temperature dropped.

00:05:44I walked out the door, into the elevator, and hit the lobby button.

00:05:49The doors closed slowly.

00:05:53Through the gap, I saw Camden still at the doorway, brow freroed, like he might come after me.

00:05:58But Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

00:06:00I'll be scared here alone.

00:06:01Cam, don't go.

00:06:04A few days before I flew to London, the company called a last-minute executive meeting.

00:06:08Camden specifically asked me to attend, said it was a project review.

00:06:11Constellation was the project I'd spent two years driving forward for it.

00:06:13I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds and pulled too many all-nighters to count.

00:06:17Nearly all my time and energy had gone into it.

00:06:21I pulled myself together and walked into the conference room.

00:06:24Isabella sat at Camden's right.

00:06:25I sat across from her.

00:06:26After the meeting started, Camden went through some quarterly numbers.

00:06:28Then he changed subjects.

00:06:30Effective today, the lead on the Constellation project transfers to Isabella.

00:06:33Is there a problem with my data model?

00:06:34No issue.

00:06:36She's just a better fit to take it.

00:06:38Focus on London.

00:06:40You don't need to worry about things here anymore.

00:06:42Understood.

00:06:45After the meeting, the others filed out one by one.

00:06:47A few department heads passed me and looked like they wanted to say something.

00:06:50None of them did.

00:06:51My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

00:06:53Her eyes were red.

00:06:54She didn't speak either.

00:06:55I went to the break room and poured a cup of warm water.

00:06:58When I looked up, I caught Isabella's reflection in the glass coming in behind me.

00:07:03Renata, Cam insisted I take over your core project.

00:07:07Honestly, I'm not sure I can handle it.

00:07:08I looked at her, said nothing, and turned to head to Camden's office.

00:07:12The Constellation project is core work I've poured the last two years into.

00:07:17Company resources aren't any one person's credit.

00:07:22Renata, please don't be angry.

00:07:24I'll learn.

00:07:25I won't tank your project.

00:07:27A few steps out, I felt Camden watching me.

00:07:30His lips parted like he might call my name, but Isabella turned just in time, pointing

00:07:33at a report and asking him a question.

00:07:34His attention got pulled back.

00:07:35He said nothing.

00:07:49After seven years together, my fiancé Camden, as CEO, transferred me to the London branch

00:07:55to head up the business.

00:14:42When I looked up, I caught Isabella's reflection in the glass coming in behind me.

00:16:09Even if she finds out, she'll accept it.

00:16:12A man who's made it this far, how could he only have one woman in his life?

00:16:16I stood there.

00:16:17It took a few seconds before it sank in.

00:16:19So that's how it was.

00:16:21Fine.

00:16:21This time, when I leave for London, I'm not coming back.

00:16:24I walked back to my office and looked at Camden Moretti, sitting across from my desk.

00:16:28When he saw me come in, he stood and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair from my

00:16:33cheek.

00:16:34I tilted my head away.

00:16:38When he saw me come in, he stood and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair from my

00:16:42cheek.

00:16:43I tilted my head away.

00:16:47Did you read the transfer email?

00:16:49I did.

00:16:50I'm happy with it.

00:16:52Good.

00:16:53Don't run yourself ragged over there.

00:16:55Whatever you want to buy, put it on the corporate Amex.

00:16:57I had the limit removed for you.

00:16:59I'm going there to run a business, not on vacation.

00:17:03Right.

00:17:04You always put work first.

00:17:06A knock at the door.

00:17:09Renata, Camden, this is the commemorative album for the core team's seventh anniversary.

00:17:13Everyone's already signed it.

00:17:15We just need our two founders.

00:17:16I took the album and looked at it for a long time.

00:17:18On the cover was the photo from seven years ago, the day we wrote our first line of code

00:17:22in his parents' garage.

00:17:23Back then, Camden was in a faded t-shirt, his arm around my shoulders, grinning ear to

00:17:28ear.

00:17:29He had promised me.

00:17:31The day the company went public on NASDAQ, he'd throw me the biggest wedding.

00:17:38I handed the album to Camden.

00:17:40His eyes didn't linger on the photo.

00:17:42He flipped straight to the last page and signed his name.

00:17:45We don't need to do these anniversary albums anymore.

00:17:48Everyone's stretched thin.

00:17:56After Ashley left, Camden's phone buzzed on the desk.

00:17:59The screen lit up with one name, Bella.

00:18:02He glanced at the screen, then glanced at me.

00:18:06When he answered, his voice noticeably softened.

00:18:10Hmm.

00:18:11I'm still at the office.

00:18:12That place is too greasy.

00:18:14Your stomach can't handle it.

00:18:15Pick somewhere else.

00:18:17Okay?

00:18:18I'll come get you later.

00:18:21After hanging up, he turned around, adjusted his tie, and slipped back into all business

00:18:28mode.

00:18:29Tuesday's flight.

00:18:31The execs over there are waiting for you.

00:18:34Don't delay it.

00:18:36Tuesday?

00:18:37Are you taking me to the airport?

00:18:39Camden's fingers paused.

00:18:40He avoided my eyes.

00:18:41There's a major investor summit on Tuesday.

00:18:43Can't get away.

00:18:44He said it without looking at me.

00:18:45His thumb brushing twice over the ring and dent on his forefinger.

00:18:47He didn't know he did that.

00:18:48I did.

00:18:48He always did it when he lied.

00:18:50Okay.

00:18:51Since you're handing the whole region over to me, sign this to the agreement for London

00:18:55Branch Independent Operations.

00:18:58It'll make my decisions a lot smoother.

00:19:02Independent Operations?

00:19:04Is that really necessary?

00:19:06We're working across time zones.

00:19:07If every move has to wait for New York's approval, the window closes.

00:19:17He was in a hurry to see Isabella.

00:19:19He left fast.

00:19:22Renata, do good work over there.

00:19:23It's for your own good.

00:19:28After work, I went home to grab my passport.

00:19:31The door opened, and I stopped.

00:19:34Isabella was standing on the wool rug, barefoot, in Camden's shirt.

00:19:37When she saw me, she smiled.

00:19:40Renata, what brings you here at this time?

00:19:43Cam's still in the shower.

00:19:44She shifted to one side.

00:19:45The hickey on her neck wasn't hidden.

00:19:47I came for my passport.

00:19:48Isabella followed me.

00:19:49Cam said you fly out next week.

00:19:51London gets cold.

00:19:52Pack extra layers.

00:19:54Otherwise, Cam will worry about you again.

00:19:56I pulled open the drawer, fished out the passport, and dropped it in my bag.

00:20:00The shower water shut off.

00:20:01Camden walked out, toweling his hair.

00:20:03A towel around his waist.

00:20:04When he saw me, he froze.

00:20:06Renata?

00:20:07What are you doing here?

00:20:08Almost on instinct, he stepped forward and put Isabella behind him.

00:20:11I looked at him.

00:20:13For seven years, I'd handled investors' doubts for him.

00:20:15I pulled countless all-nights with him.

00:20:17The temperature dropped.

00:20:18The person he was guarding her from now was me.

00:20:21Cam, does Renata hate me?

00:20:23She won't even speak to me.

00:20:25Don't read into it.

00:20:26She's just exhausted lately.

00:20:27I took my passport and turned to leave.

00:20:29Passing the coffee table, I slowed down and the bottom drawer was open a crack.

00:20:32Inside was a wedding photoproof, shot on the beach in the Hamptons.

00:20:35In the photo, Camden was in a white suit, leaning down to kiss Isabella, his smile unmistakable.

00:20:39Beside it was a cardio custom order for matching rings.

00:20:42I drew in a breath and looked away.

00:20:44Camden followed my gaze.

00:20:45His face changed instantly.

00:20:48Renata, it's not what you think.

00:20:49And what is it?

00:20:50Camden opened his mouth.

00:20:51A few seconds passed before he answered, quietly.

00:20:54I owe her.

00:20:55It doesn't change us.

00:20:56Once you're back from London, I'll give you that Upper East Side townhouse you've always loved.

00:20:59My chest felt heavy, so seven years could be weighed and priced,

00:21:02dracently tricheting this neatly.

00:21:03No, thank you.

00:21:04Camden took quick steps over, reaching to grab my arm.

00:21:07Renata, don't pick a fight right now.

00:21:08His fingertips brushed the back of my hand, then stopped.

00:21:11Why are your hands so cold?

00:21:12The temperature dropped.

00:21:13I walked out the door, into the elevator, and hit the lobby button.

00:21:17The doors closed slowly.

00:21:22Through the gap, I saw Camden still at the doorway, brow frerroed, like he might come after me.

00:21:26But Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

00:21:29I'll be scared here alone.

00:21:30Cam, don't go.

00:21:33A few days before I flew to London, the company called a last-minute executive meeting.

00:21:37Camden specifically asked me to attend, said it was a project review.

00:21:40Constellation was the project I'd spent two years driving forward for it.

00:21:42I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds and pulled too many all-nighters to count.

00:21:45Nearly all my time and energy had gone into it.

00:21:50I pulled myself together and walked into the conference room.

00:21:53Isabella sat at Camden's right.

00:21:54I sat across from her.

00:21:55After the meeting started, Camden went through some quarterly numbers.

00:21:57Then he changed subjects.

00:21:58Effective today, the lead on the Constellation project transfers to Isabella.

00:22:01Is there a problem with my data model?

00:22:03No issue.

00:22:05She's just a better fit to take it.

00:22:07Focus on London.

00:22:08You don't need to worry about things here anymore.

00:22:10Understood.

00:22:13After the meeting, the others filed out one by one.

00:22:16A few department heads passed me and looked like they wanted to say something.

00:22:19None of them did.

00:22:20My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

00:22:21Her eyes were red.

00:22:22She didn't speak either.

00:22:23I went to the break room and poured a cup of warm water.

00:22:26When I looked up, I caught Isabella's reflection in the glass coming in behind me.

00:22:32Renata, Cam insisted I take over your core project.

00:22:35Honestly, I'm not sure I can handle it.

00:22:37I looked at her, said nothing, and turned to head to Camden's office.

00:22:41The Constellation project is core work I've poured the last two years into.

00:22:46Company resources aren't any one person's credit.

00:22:51Renata, please don't be angry.

00:22:53I'll learn.

00:22:54I won't tank your project.

00:22:56A few steps out, I felt Camden watching me.

00:22:58His lips parted like he might call my name, but Isabella turned just in time, pointing at a report and

00:23:02asking him a question.

00:23:03His attention got pulled back.

00:23:04He said nothing.

00:23:18After seven years together, my fiancé Camden, as CEO, transferred me to the London branch to head up the business.

00:23:25I thought he was finally ready to take my abilities seriously.

00:23:30Instead, outside the break room, I overheard him on the phone, giving instructions to a friend.

00:23:35Lock down Renata's flight info.

00:23:37Next Tuesday, Bella and I head to City Hall to make it official, then throw a party.

00:23:41Make sure she's out of the country by then.

00:23:43Cam, you're playing both sides.

00:23:44What if Renata finds out?

00:23:45She won't.

00:23:46I've buried her in enough work.

00:23:48She doesn't have the bandwidth to notice.

00:23:50Besides, I gave her the overseas business she's always wanted.

00:23:53Even if she finds out, she'll accept it.

00:23:56A man who's made it this far, how could he only have one woman in his life?

00:24:00I stood there.

00:32:24Whatever you want to buy, put it on the corporate Amex.

00:32:26I had the limit removed for you.

00:32:28I'm going there to run a business, not on vacation.

00:32:32Right.

00:32:33You always put work first.

00:32:35A knock at the door.

00:32:37Renata, Camden, this is the commemorative album for the core team's seventh anniversary.

00:32:42Everyone's already signed it.

00:32:43We just need our two founders.

00:32:45I took the album and looked at it for a long time.

00:32:47On the cover was the photo from seven years ago, the day we wrote our first line of code

00:32:51in his parents' garage.

00:32:52Back then, Camden was in a faded t-shirt, his arm around my shoulders, grinning ear to

00:32:57ear.

00:32:58He had promised me.

00:32:59The day the company went public on Nasdaq, he'd throw me the biggest wedding.

00:33:07I handed the album to Camden.

00:33:09His eyes didn't linger on the photo.

00:33:11He flipped straight to the last page and signed his name.

00:33:14We don't need to do these anniversary albums anymore.

00:33:17Everyone's stretched thin.

00:33:25After Ashley left, Camden's phone buzzed on the desk.

00:33:28The screen lit up with one name, Bella.

00:33:31He glanced at the screen, then glanced at me.

00:33:34When he answered, his voice noticeably softened.

00:33:39Hmm.

00:33:40I'm still at the office.

00:33:41That place is too greasy.

00:33:42Your stomach can't handle it.

00:33:44Pick somewhere else.

00:33:46Okay?

00:33:47I'll come get you later.

00:33:49After hanging up...

00:33:52He turned around, adjusted his tie, and slipped back into all-business mode.

00:33:58Tuesday's flight.

00:34:00The execs over there are waiting for you.

00:34:03Don't delay it.

00:34:04Tuesday?

00:34:06Are you taking me to the airport?

00:34:07Camden's fingers paused.

00:34:09He avoided my eyes.

00:34:10There's a major investor summit on Tuesday.

00:34:12Can't get away.

00:34:12He said it without looking at me.

00:34:14His thumb brushing twice over the ring and dent on his finger.

00:34:16He didn't know he did that.

00:34:17I did.

00:34:17He always did it when he lied.

00:34:18Okay.

00:34:20Since you're handing the whole region over to me...

00:34:22Sign this, too.

00:34:23The agreement for London Branch independent operations.

00:34:27It'll make my decisions a lot smoother.

00:34:30Independent operations?

00:34:32Is that really necessary?

00:34:34We're working across time zones.

00:34:36If every move has to wait for New York's approval, the window closes.

00:34:46He was in a hurry to see Isabella.

00:34:48He left fast.

00:34:50Renata, do good work over there.

00:34:52It's for your own good.

00:34:57After work, I went home to grab my passport.

00:35:00The door opened, and I stopped.

00:35:02Isabella was standing on the wool rug, barefoot, in Camden's shirt.

00:35:06When she saw me, she smiled.

00:35:09Renata, what brings you here at this time?

00:35:12Cam's still in the shower.

00:35:13She shifted to one side.

00:35:14The hickey on her neck wasn't hidden.

00:35:15I came for my passport.

00:35:17Isabella followed me.

00:35:18Cam said you fly out next week.

00:35:20London gets cold.

00:35:21Pack extra layers.

00:35:22Otherwise, Cam will worry about you again.

00:35:25I pulled open the drawer, fished out the passport, and dropped it in my bag.

00:35:29The shower water shut off.

00:35:30Camden walked out, toweling his hair.

00:35:32A towel around his waist.

00:35:33When he saw me, he froze.

00:35:35Renata?

00:35:36What are you doing here?

00:35:37Almost on instinct, he stepped forward and put Isabella behind him.

00:35:40I looked at him.

00:35:41For seven years, I'd handled investors' doubts for him.

00:35:44I pulled countless all nights with him.

00:35:46The temperature dropped.

00:35:47The person he was guarding her from now was me.

00:35:50Cam, does Renata hate me?

00:35:52She won't even speak to me.

00:35:53Don't read into it.

00:35:54She's just exhausted lately.

00:35:56I took my passport and turned to leave.

00:35:58Passing the coffee table, I slowed down and the bottom drawer was open to crack.

00:36:01Inside was a wedding photoproof, shot on the beach in the Hamptons.

00:36:04In the photo, Camden was in a white suit, leaning down to kiss Isabella, his smile unmistakable.

00:36:08Beside it was a cardio custom order for matching rings.

00:36:11I drew in a breath and looked away.

00:36:12Camden followed my gaze.

00:36:14His face changed instantly.

00:36:16Renata, it's not what you're thinking.

00:36:18And what is it?

00:36:19Camden opened his mouth.

00:36:20A few seconds passed before he answered, quietly.

00:36:23I owe her.

00:36:23It doesn't change us.

00:36:25Once you're back from London, I'll give you that Upper East Side townhouse you've always loved.

00:36:28My chest felt heavy, so seven years could be weighed and priced,

00:36:31dracently trichting this neatly.

00:36:32No, thank you.

00:36:33Camden took quick steps over, reaching to grab my arm.

00:36:35Renata, don't pick a fight right now.

00:36:37His fingertips brushed the back of my hand, then stopped.

00:36:40Why are your hands so cold?

00:36:41The temperature dropped.

00:36:42I walked out the door, into the elevator, and hit the lobby button.

00:36:46The doors closed slowly.

00:36:51Through the gap, I saw Camden still at the doorway, brow frerroed, like he might come after me.

00:36:55But Isabella wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.

00:36:57I'll be scared here alone.

00:36:59Cam, don't go.

00:37:02A few days before I flew to London, the company called a last-minute executive meeting.

00:37:06Camden specifically asked me to attend, said it was a project review.

00:37:08Constellation was the project I'd spent two years driving forward for it.

00:37:11I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds and pulled too many all-nighters to count.

00:37:14Nearly all my time and energy had gone into it.

00:37:18I pulled myself together and walked into the conference room.

00:37:21Isabella sat at Camden's right.

00:37:23I sat across from her.

00:37:24After the meeting started, Camden went through some quarterly numbers.

00:37:26Then he changed subjects.

00:37:27Effective today, the lead on the Constellation project transfers to Isabella.

00:37:30Is there a problem with my data model?

00:37:32No issue.

00:37:34She's just a better fit to take it.

00:37:36Focus on London.

00:37:37You don't need to worry about things here anymore.

00:37:39Understood.

00:37:42After the meeting, the others filed out one by one.

00:37:44A few department heads passed me and looked like they wanted to say something.

00:37:47None of them did.

00:37:48My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

00:37:50Her eyes were red.

00:37:51She didn't speak either.

00:37:52I went to the break room and poured a cup of warm water.

00:37:55When I looked up, I caught Isabella's reflection in the glass coming in behind me.

00:38:00Renata, Cam insisted I take over your core project.

00:38:04Honestly, I'm not sure I can handle it.

00:38:06I looked at her, said nothing, and turned to head to Camden's office.

00:38:10The Constellation project is core work I've poured the last two years into.

00:38:15Company resources aren't any one person's credit.

00:38:20Renata, please don't be angry.

00:38:22I'll learn.

00:38:23I won't tank your project.

00:38:25A few steps out, I felt Camden watching me.

00:38:27His lips parted like he might call my name, but Isabella turned just in time, pointing at a report and

00:38:31asking him a question.

00:38:32His attention got pulled back.

00:38:33He said nothing.

00:38:47After seven years together, my fiancée Camden, as CEO, transferred me to the London branch to head up the business.

00:38:54I thought he was finally ready to take my abilities seriously.

00:38:58Instead, outside the break room, I overheard him on the phone, giving instructions to a friend.

00:39:04Lock down Renata's flight info.

00:39:05Next Tuesday, Bella and I head to City Hall to make it official, then throw a party.

00:39:10Make sure she's out of the country by then.

00:39:11Cam, you're playing both sides.

00:39:13What if Renata finds out?

00:39:14She won't.

00:39:15I've buried her in enough work.

00:39:17She doesn't have the bandwidth to notice.

00:39:18Besides, I gave her the overseas business she's always wanted.

00:39:22Even if she finds out, she'll accept it.

00:39:25A man who's made it this far, how could he only have one woman in his life?

00:39:29I stood there.

00:39:30It took a few seconds before it sank in.

00:39:32So that's how it was.

00:39:34Fine.

00:39:35This time, when I leave for London, I'm not coming back.

00:39:37I walked back to my office and looked at Camden Moretti, sitting across from my desk.

00:39:42When he saw me come in, he stood and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair from my

00:39:46cheek.

00:39:47I tilted my head away.

00:39:51When he saw me come in, he stood and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair from my

00:39:55cheek.

00:39:56I tilted my head away.

00:40:00Did you read the transfer email?

00:40:02I did.

00:40:03I'm happy with it.

00:40:05Good.

00:40:06Don't run yourself ragged over there.

00:40:08Whatever you want to buy, put it on the corporate Amex.

00:40:11I had the limit removed for you.

00:48:40He flipped straight to the last page and signed his name.

00:48:43We don't need to do these anniversary albums anymore.

00:48:45Everyone's stretched thin.

00:48:53After Ashley left, Camden's phone buzzed on the desk.

00:48:57The screen lit up with one name, Bella.

00:48:59He glanced at the screen, then glanced at me.

00:49:03When he answered, his voice noticeably softened.

00:49:08Hmm.

00:49:08I'm still at the office.

00:49:10That place is too greasy.

00:49:11Your stomach can't handle it.

00:49:13Pick somewhere else.

00:49:14Okay?

00:49:15I'll come get you later.

00:49:18After hanging up,

00:49:21he turned around, adjusted his tie,

00:49:23and slipped back into all-business mode.

00:49:27Tuesday's flight.

00:49:28The execs over there are waiting for you.

00:49:31Don't delay it.

00:49:33Tuesday?

00:49:34Are you taking me to the airport?

00:49:36Camden's fingers paused.

00:49:37He avoided my eyes.

00:49:39There's a major investor summit on Tuesday.

00:49:40Can't get away.

00:49:41He said it without looking at me.

00:49:42His thumb brushing twice over the ring and dent on his forefinger.

00:49:45He didn't know he did that.

00:49:46I did.

00:49:46He always did it when he lied.

00:49:47Okay.

00:49:49Since you're handing the whole region over to me,

00:49:51sign this to the agreement for London Branch Independent Operations.

00:49:55It'll make my decisions a lot smoother.

00:49:59Independent operations?

00:50:01Is that really necessary?

00:50:03We're working across time zones.

00:50:05If every move has to wait for New York's approval,

00:50:07the window closes.

00:50:15He was in a hurry to see Isabella.

00:50:17He left fast.

00:50:19Renata, do good work over there.

00:50:21It's for your own good.

00:50:25After work,

00:50:27I went home to grab my passport.

00:50:29The door opened,

00:50:29and I stopped.

00:50:31Isabella was standing on the wool rug,

00:50:33barefoot,

00:50:34in Camden's shirt.

00:50:35When she saw me,

00:50:36she smiled.

00:50:37Renata,

00:50:38what brings you here at this time?

00:50:40Cam's still in the shower.

00:50:41She shifted to one side.

00:50:43The hickey on her neck wasn't hidden.

00:50:44I came for my passport.

00:50:46Isabella followed me.

00:50:47Cam said you fly out next week.

00:50:48London gets cold.

00:50:50Pack extra layers.

00:50:51Otherwise,

00:50:52Cam will worry about you again.

00:50:54I pulled open the drawer,

00:50:55fished out the passport,

00:50:56and dropped it in my bag.

00:50:57The shower water shut off.

00:50:59Camden walked out,

00:50:59toweling his hair,

00:51:00a towel around his waist.

00:51:02When he saw me,

00:51:03he froze.

00:51:04Renata,

00:51:05what are you doing here?

00:51:06Almost on instinct,

00:51:07he stepped forward

00:51:07and put Isabella behind him.

00:51:09I looked at him.

00:51:10For seven years,

00:51:11I'd handled investors' doubts for him.

00:51:13I pulled countless all nights with him.

00:51:15The temperature dropped.

00:51:16The person he was guarding her from now

00:51:17was me.

00:51:18Cam,

00:51:19does Renata hate me?

00:51:21She won't even speak to me.

00:51:22Don't read into it.

00:51:23She's just exhausted lately.

00:51:25I took my passport

00:51:25and turned to leave.

00:51:26Passing the coffee table,

00:51:27I slowed down,

00:51:28and the bottom drawer

00:51:28was open a crack.

00:51:29Inside was a wedding photo proof,

00:51:31shot on the beach

00:51:32in the Hamptons.

00:51:32In the photo,

00:51:33Camden was in a white suit,

00:51:34leaning down to kiss Isabella,

00:51:36his smile unmistakable.

00:51:37Beside it was a cardio custom order

00:51:38for matching rings.

00:51:39I drew in a breath

00:51:40and looked away.

00:51:41Camden followed my gaze.

00:51:43His face changed instantly.

00:51:45Renata,

00:51:46it's not what you think.

00:51:47And what is it?

00:51:48Camden opened his mouth.

00:51:49A few seconds passed

00:51:50before he answered,

00:51:51quietly.

00:51:51I owe her.

00:51:52That doesn't change us.

00:51:53Once you're back from London,

00:51:54I'll give you that

00:51:55Upper East Side townhouse

00:51:56you've always loved.

00:51:57My chest felt heavy,

00:51:58so seven years

00:51:58could be weighed and priced,

00:51:59dracently tricheting this neatly.

00:52:01No, thank you.

00:52:01Camden took quick steps over,

00:52:03reaching to grab my arm.

00:52:04Renata,

00:52:05don't pick a fight right now.

00:52:06His fingertips brushed

00:52:06the back of my hand,

00:52:08then stopped.

00:52:08Why are your hands so cold?

00:52:10The temperature dropped.

00:52:11I walked out the door,

00:52:12into the elevator,

00:52:13and hit the lobby button.

00:52:15The doors closed slowly.

00:52:19Through the gap,

00:52:20I saw Camden still at the doorway,

00:52:22brow frerroed,

00:52:23like he might come after me.

00:52:24But Isabella wrapped her arms

00:52:25around his waist from behind.

00:52:26I'll be scared here alone.

00:52:28Cam, don't go.

00:52:30A few days before I flew to London,

00:52:32the company called

00:52:33a last-minute executive meeting.

00:52:34Camden specifically asked me to attend,

00:52:36said it was a project review.

00:52:37Constellation was the project

00:52:38I'd spent two years

00:52:39driving forward for it.

00:52:40I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds

00:52:41and pulled too many all-nighters to count.

00:52:43Nearly all my time and energy

00:52:44had gone into it.

00:52:47I pulled myself together

00:52:48and walked into the conference room.

00:52:50Isabella sat at Camden's right.

00:52:51I sat across from her.

00:52:52After the meeting started,

00:52:53Camden went through

00:52:54some quarterly numbers.

00:52:55Then he changed subjects.

00:52:56Effective today,

00:52:56the lead on the Constellation project

00:52:58transfers to Isabella.

00:52:59Is there a problem

00:52:59with my data model?

00:53:00No issue.

00:53:02She's just a better fit to take it.

00:53:04Focus on London.

00:53:06You don't need to worry

00:53:07about things here anymore.

00:53:08Understood.

00:53:11After the meeting,

00:53:12the others filed out one by one.

00:53:13A few department heads passed me

00:53:15and looked like they wanted

00:53:15to say something.

00:53:16None of them did.

00:53:17My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

00:53:19Her eyes were red.

00:53:20She didn't speak either.

00:53:21I went to the break room

00:53:22and poured a cup of warm water.

00:53:24When I looked up,

00:53:25I caught Isabella's reflection

00:53:27in the glass coming in behind me.

00:53:29Renata, Cam insisted

00:53:31I take over your core project.

00:53:33Honestly, I'm not sure

00:53:34I can handle it.

00:53:35I looked at her,

00:53:36said nothing,

00:53:36and turned to head

00:53:37to Camden's office.

00:53:39The Constellation project

00:53:40is core work

00:53:40I've poured the last

00:53:41two years into.

00:53:44Company resources

00:53:45aren't any one person's credit.

00:53:48Renata,

00:53:49please don't be angry.

00:53:51I'll learn.

00:53:52I won't tank your project.

00:53:53A few steps out,

00:53:54I felt Camden watching me.

00:53:56His lips parted

00:53:56like he might call my name,

00:53:57but Isabella turned just in time,

00:53:59pointing at a report

00:53:59and asking him a question.

00:54:00His attention got pulled back.

00:54:01He said nothing.

00:54:15After seven years together,

00:54:17my fiance Camden,

00:54:19as CEO,

00:54:20transferred me to the London branch

00:54:21to head up the business.

00:54:23I thought he was finally ready

00:54:24to take my abilities seriously.

00:54:27Instead,

00:54:28outside the break room,

00:54:29I overheard him on the phone,

00:54:31giving instructions to a friend.

00:54:32Lock down Renata's flight info.

00:54:34Next Tuesday,

00:54:35Bella and I head to City Hall

00:54:36to make it official,

00:54:37then throw a party.

00:54:38Make sure she's out

00:54:39of the country by then.

00:54:40Cam, you're playing both sides.

00:54:42What if Renata finds out?

00:54:43She won't.

00:54:44I've buried her in enough work.

00:54:46She doesn't have

00:54:46the bandwidth to notice.

00:54:48Besides,

00:54:48I gave her the overseas business

00:54:49she's always wanted.

00:54:51Even if she finds out,

00:54:52she'll accept it.

00:54:53A man who's made it this far,

00:54:55how could he only have

00:54:56one woman in his life?

00:54:58I stood there.

00:54:59It took a few seconds

00:55:00before it sank in.

00:55:01So that's how it was.

00:55:03Fine.

00:55:03This time,

00:55:04when I leave for London,

00:55:05I'm not coming back.

00:55:06I walked back to my office

00:55:07and looked at Camden Moretti

00:55:09sitting across from my desk.

00:55:11When he saw me come in,

00:55:12he stood

00:55:12and reached out

00:55:13to brush a loose strand of hair

00:55:15from my cheek.

00:55:16I tilted my head away.

00:55:20When he saw me come in,

00:55:21he stood

00:55:21and reached out

00:55:22to brush a loose strand of hair

00:55:24from my cheek.

00:55:25I tilted my head away.

00:55:29Did you read

00:55:30the transfer email?

00:55:31I did.

00:55:32I'm happy with it.

00:55:34Good.

00:55:35Don't run yourself

00:55:36ragged over there.

00:55:37Whatever you want to buy,

00:55:38put it on the corporate Amex.

00:55:39I had the limit removed for you.

00:55:41I'm going there

00:55:42to run a business,

00:55:43not on vacation.

00:55:45Right.

00:55:46You always put work first.

00:55:48A knock at the door.

00:55:50Renata, Camden,

00:55:52this is the commemorative album

00:55:53for the core team's

00:55:54seventh anniversary.

00:55:55Everyone's already signed it.

00:55:57We just need our two founders.

00:55:58I took the album

00:55:58and looked at it

00:55:59for a long time.

00:56:00On the cover

00:56:00was the photo

00:56:01from seven years ago,

00:56:02the day we wrote

00:56:03our first line of code

00:56:04in his parents' garage.

00:56:05Back then,

00:56:06Camden was in a faded T-shirt,

00:56:07his arm around my shoulders,

00:56:09grinning ear to ear.

00:56:11He had promised me

00:56:13the day the company

00:56:14went public on NASDAQ.

00:56:15He'd throw me

00:56:16the biggest wedding.

00:56:20I handed the album

00:56:21to Camden.

00:56:22His eyes didn't linger

00:56:23on the photo.

00:56:24He flipped straight

00:56:25to the last page

00:56:26and signed his name.

00:56:27We don't need to do

00:56:28these anniversary albums anymore.

00:56:30Everyone's stretched thin.

00:56:38After Ashley left,

00:56:39Camden's phone

00:56:40buzzed on the desk.

00:57:07adjusted his tie,

00:57:23There's a major

00:57:24investor summit on Tuesday.

00:57:25Can't get away.

00:57:26He said it without looking at me.

00:57:27His thumb brushing twice

00:57:28over the ring and dent

00:57:29He didn't know he did that.

00:57:30I did.

00:57:40It'll make my decisions

00:57:41a lot smoother.

00:57:44Independent Operations.

00:57:46Is that really necessary?

00:57:48We're working

00:57:48across time zones.

00:57:49If every move

00:57:50has to wait

00:57:51for New York's approval,

00:57:52the window closes.

00:57:59He was in a hurry

00:58:01He left fast.

01:00:06brow frerroed,

01:00:07like he might come after me.

01:00:08But Isabella wrapped her arms

01:00:09around his waist from behind.

01:00:11I'll be scared here alone.

01:00:12Cam, don't go.

01:00:15A few days before I flew to London,

01:00:17the company called

01:00:17a last-minute executive meeting.

01:00:19Camden specifically asked me to attend,

01:00:20said it was a project review.

01:00:21Constellation was the project

01:00:22I'd spent two years

01:00:23driving forward for it.

01:00:24I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds

01:00:26and pulled too many all-nighters to count.

01:00:27Nearly all my time and energy

01:00:29had gone into it.

01:00:32I pulled myself together

01:00:33and walked into the conference room.

01:00:34Isabella sat at Camden's right.

01:00:36I sat across from her.

01:00:37After the meeting started,

01:00:38Camden went through

01:00:38some quarterly numbers.

01:00:39Then he changed subjects.

01:00:40Effective today,

01:00:41the lead on the Constellation project

01:00:42transfers to Isabella.

01:00:43Is there a problem

01:00:44with my data model?

01:00:45No issue.

01:00:47She's just a better fit to take it.

01:00:49Focus on London.

01:00:50You don't need to worry

01:00:51about things here anymore.

01:00:52Understood.

01:00:55After the meeting,

01:00:56the others filed out one by one.

01:00:58A few department heads passed me

01:00:59and looked like they wanted

01:01:00to say something.

01:01:01None of them did.

01:01:01My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

01:01:03Her eyes were red.

01:01:04She didn't speak either.

01:01:05I went to the break room

01:01:06and poured a cup of warm water.

01:01:09When I looked up,

01:01:10I caught Isabella's reflection

01:01:11in the glass

01:01:12coming in behind me.

01:01:13Renata,

01:01:14Cam insisted I take over

01:01:16your core project.

01:01:17Honestly,

01:01:18I'm not sure I can handle it.

01:01:19I looked at her,

01:01:20said nothing,

01:01:21and turned to head

01:01:21to Camden's office.

01:01:23The Constellation project

01:01:24is core work

01:01:25I've poured the last

01:01:25two years into.

01:01:28Company resources

01:01:29aren't any one person's credit.

01:01:33Renata,

01:01:34please don't be angry.

01:01:35I'll learn.

01:01:36I won't tank your project.

01:01:37A few steps out,

01:01:39I felt Camden watching me.

01:01:40His lips parted

01:01:41like he might call my name,

01:01:42but Isabella turned

01:01:42just in time,

01:01:43pointing at a report

01:01:44and asking him a question.

01:01:45His attention got pulled back.

01:01:46He said nothing.

01:02:00After seven years together,

01:02:02my fiancee Camden,

01:02:03as CEO,

01:02:04transferred me to the London branch

01:02:05to head up the business.

01:02:07I thought he was finally ready

01:02:09to take my abilities seriously.

01:02:11Instead,

01:02:12outside the break room,

01:02:13I overheard him on the phone,

01:02:15giving instructions to a friend.

01:02:17Lock down Renata's flight info.

01:02:18Next Tuesday,

01:02:19Bella and I head to City Hall

01:02:20to make it official,

01:02:21then throw a party.

01:02:23Make sure she's out

01:02:23of the country by then.

01:02:24Cam,

01:02:25you're playing both sides.

01:02:26What if Renata finds out?

01:02:27She won't.

01:02:28I've buried her in enough work.

01:02:30She doesn't have

01:02:31the bandwidth to notice.

01:02:32Besides,

01:02:32I gave her the overseas business

01:02:34she's always wanted.

01:02:35Even if she finds out,

01:02:36she'll accept it.

01:02:38A man who's made it this far,

01:02:39how could he only have

01:02:40one woman in his life?

01:02:42I stood there.

01:02:43It took a few seconds

01:02:44before it sank in.

01:02:45So that's how it was.

01:02:47Fine.

01:02:48This time,

01:02:48when I leave for London,

01:02:49I'm not coming back.

01:02:50I walked back to my office

01:02:51and looked at Camden Moretti

01:02:53sitting across from my desk.

01:02:55When he saw me come in,

01:02:56he stood

01:02:57and reached out

01:02:58to brush a loose strand of hair

01:02:59from my cheek.

01:03:00I tilted my head away.

01:03:04When he saw me come in,

01:03:05he stood

01:03:06and reached out

01:03:07to brush a loose strand of hair

01:03:08from my cheek.

01:03:09I tilted my head away.

01:03:13Did you read

01:03:14the transfer email?

01:03:15I did.

01:03:16I'm happy with it.

01:03:18Good.

01:03:19Don't run yourself ragged

01:03:21over there.

01:03:21Whatever you want to buy,

01:03:22put it on the corporate Amex.

01:03:24I had the limit removed for you.

01:03:25I'm going there

01:03:26to run a business,

01:03:27not on vacation.

01:03:29Right.

01:03:30You always put work first.

01:03:32A knock at the door.

01:03:35Renata,

01:03:35Camden,

01:03:36this is the commemorative album

01:03:37for the core team's

01:03:38seventh anniversary.

01:03:39Everyone's already signed it.

01:03:41We just need our two founders.

01:03:42I took the album

01:03:43and looked at it

01:03:43for a long time.

01:03:44On the cover

01:03:45was the photo

01:03:45from seven years ago,

01:03:47the day we wrote

01:03:47our first line of code

01:03:48in his parents' garage.

01:03:50Back then,

01:03:50Camden was in a faded T-shirt,

01:03:52his arm around my shoulders,

01:03:54grinning ear to ear.

01:03:55He had promised me

01:03:56the day the company

01:03:58went public on NASDAQ.

01:04:00He'd throw me

01:04:00the biggest wedding.

01:04:04I handed the album

01:04:05to Camden.

01:04:06His eyes didn't linger

01:04:08on the photo.

01:04:09He flipped straight

01:04:09to the last page

01:04:10and signed his name.

01:04:11We don't need to do

01:04:12these anniversary albums anymore.

01:04:14Everyone's stretched thin.

01:04:22After Ashley left,

01:04:23Camden's phone buzzed

01:04:25on the desk.

01:04:25The screen lit up

01:04:26with one name,

01:04:27Bella.

01:04:28He glanced at the screen,

01:04:30then glanced at me.

01:04:32When he answered,

01:04:33his voice noticeably softened.

01:04:36Hmm.

01:04:37I'm still at the office.

01:04:38That place is too greasy.

01:04:40Your stomach can't handle it.

01:04:42Pick somewhere else.

01:04:43Okay?

01:04:44I'll come get you later.

01:04:47After hanging up,

01:04:50he turned around,

01:04:51adjusted his tie,

01:04:52and slipped back

01:04:53into all business mode.

01:04:55Tuesday's flight.

01:04:57The execs over there

01:04:58are waiting for you.

01:05:00Don't delay it.

01:05:02Tuesday?

01:05:03Are you taking me

01:05:04to the airport?

01:05:05Camden's fingers paused.

01:05:06He avoided my eyes.

01:05:07There's a major

01:05:08investor summit on Tuesday.

01:05:09Can't get away.

01:05:10He said it without

01:05:10looking at me.

01:05:11His thumb brushing twice

01:05:12over the ring and dent

01:05:13on his forefinger.

01:05:13He didn't know he did that.

01:05:14I did.

01:05:15He always did it

01:05:15when he lied.

01:05:16Okay.

01:05:17Since you're handing

01:05:18the whole region over to me.

01:05:19Sign this too.

01:05:20The agreement for

01:05:21London branch

01:05:22independent operations.

01:05:24It'll make my decisions

01:05:25a lot smoother.

01:05:28Independent operations?

01:05:30Is that really necessary?

01:05:32We're working across time zones.

01:05:34If every move has to wait

01:05:35for New York's approval,

01:05:36the window closes.

01:05:43He was in a hurry

01:05:44to see Isabella.

01:05:45He left fast.

01:05:48Renata,

01:05:48do good work over there.

01:05:49It's for your own good.

01:05:54After work,

01:05:55I went home

01:05:56to grab my passport.

01:05:57The door opened

01:05:58and I stopped.

01:06:00Isabella was standing

01:06:01on the wool rug,

01:06:02barefoot,

01:06:02in Camden's shirt.

01:06:04When she saw me,

01:06:05she smiled.

01:06:06Renata,

01:06:07what brings you here

01:06:08at this time?

01:06:09Cam's still in the shower.

01:06:10She shifted to one side.

01:06:11The hickey on her neck

01:06:12wasn't hidden.

01:06:13I came for my passport.

01:06:14Isabella followed me.

01:06:16Cam said you fly out

01:06:17next week.

01:06:17London gets cold.

01:06:19Pack extra layers.

01:06:20Otherwise,

01:06:20Cam will worry

01:06:21about you again.

01:06:22I pulled open the drawer,

01:06:24fished out the passport,

01:06:25and dropped it in my bag.

01:06:26The shower water shut off.

01:06:27Camden walked out

01:06:28toweling his hair,

01:06:29a towel around his waist.

01:06:31When he saw me,

01:06:32he froze.

01:06:32Renata?

01:06:33What are you doing here?

01:06:34Almost on instinct,

01:06:35he stepped forward

01:06:36and put Isabella behind him.

01:06:38I looked at him.

01:06:39For seven years,

01:06:40I'd handled investors' doubts

01:06:41for him.

01:06:41I pulled countless

01:06:42all nights with him.

01:06:43The temperature dropped.

01:06:44The person he was guarding

01:06:45her from now was me.

01:06:47Cam,

01:06:47does Renata hate me?

01:06:49She won't even speak to me.

01:06:51Don't read into it.

01:06:52She's just exhausted lately.

01:06:53I took my passport

01:06:54and turned to leave.

01:06:55Passing the coffee table,

01:06:56I slowed down,

01:06:56and the bottom drawer

01:06:57was open a crack.

01:06:58Inside was a wedding photoproof,

01:07:00shot on the beach

01:07:00in the Hamptons.

01:07:01In the photo,

01:07:02Camden was in a white suit,

01:07:03leaning down to kiss Isabella,

01:07:05his smile unmistakable.

01:07:06Beside it was a cardio custom order

01:07:07for matching rings.

01:07:08I drew in a breath

01:07:09and looked away.

01:07:10Camden followed my gaze.

01:07:12His face changed instantly.

01:07:14Renata,

01:07:14it's not what you're thinking.

01:07:16And what is it?

01:07:16Camden opened his mouth.

01:07:18A few seconds passed

01:07:18before he answered,

01:07:20quietly.

01:07:20I owe her.

01:07:21It doesn't change us.

01:07:22Once you're back from London,

01:07:23I'll give you that

01:07:24Upper East Side townhouse

01:07:24you've always loved.

01:07:25My chest felt heavy,

01:07:26so seven years

01:07:27could be weighed and priced,

01:07:28dracently tricheting this neatly.

01:07:29No, thank you.

01:07:30Camden took quick steps over,

01:07:32reaching to grab my arm.

01:07:33Renata,

01:07:33don't pick a fight right now.

01:07:34His fingertips brushed

01:07:35the back of my hand,

01:07:36then stopped.

01:07:37Why are your hands so cold?

01:07:38The temperature dropped.

01:07:40I walked out the door,

01:07:41into the elevator,

01:07:42and hit the lobby button.

01:07:44The doors closed slowly.

01:07:48Through the gap,

01:07:49I saw Camden still at the doorway,

01:07:51brow frerroed,

01:07:51like he might come after me.

01:07:52But Isabella wrapped her arms

01:07:54around his waist from behind.

01:07:55I'll be scared here alone.

01:11:14Right.

01:11:15You always put work first.

01:11:17A knock at the door.

01:11:19Renata, Camden,

01:11:20this is the commemorative album

01:11:22for the core team's

01:11:23seventh anniversary.

01:11:24Everyone's already signed it.

01:11:25We just need our two founders.

01:11:26I took the album

01:11:27and looked at it

01:11:28for a long time.

01:11:29On the cover was the photo

01:11:30from seven years ago,

01:11:31the day we wrote

01:11:32our first line of code

01:11:33in his parents' garage.

01:11:34Back then,

01:11:35Camden was in a faded T-shirt,

01:11:36his arm around my shoulders,

01:11:38grinning ear to ear.

01:11:40He had promised me

01:11:41the day the company

01:11:42went public on NASDAQ.

01:11:44He'd throw me

01:11:45the biggest wedding.

01:11:49I handed the album

01:11:50to Camden.

01:11:51His eyes didn't linger

01:11:52on the photo.

01:11:53He flipped straight

01:11:54to the last page

01:11:55and signed his name.

01:11:56We don't need to do

01:11:57these anniversary albums anymore.

01:11:58Everyone's stretched thin.

01:12:06After Ashlee left,

01:12:08Camden's phone buzzed

01:12:09on the desk.

01:12:10The screen lit up

01:12:11with one name,

01:12:12Bella.

01:12:12He glanced at the screen,

01:12:14then glanced at me.

01:12:16When he answered,

01:12:18his voice noticeably softened.

01:12:21I'm still at the office.

01:12:23That place is too greasy.

01:12:24Your stomach can't handle it.

01:12:26Pick somewhere else.

01:12:28Okay?

01:12:29I'll come get you later.

01:12:31After hanging up,

01:12:34he turned around,

01:12:35adjusted his tie,

01:12:37and slipped back

01:12:38into all business mode.

01:12:40Tuesday's flight.

01:12:41The execs over there

01:12:42are waiting for you.

01:12:45Don't delay it.

01:12:46Tuesday?

01:12:48Are you taking me

01:12:48to the airport?

01:12:49Camden's fingers paused.

01:12:51He avoided my eyes.

01:12:52There's a major investor

01:12:53summit on Tuesday.

01:12:54Can't get away.

01:12:54He said it without

01:12:55looking at me.

01:12:55His thumb brushing twice

01:12:56over the ring and dent

01:12:57on his forefinger.

01:12:58He didn't know he did that.

01:12:59I did.

01:12:59He always did it

01:13:00when he lied.

01:13:00Okay.

01:13:02Since you're handing

01:13:02the whole region over to me,

01:13:04sign this to the agreement

01:13:05for London Branch

01:13:06Independent Operations.

01:13:09It'll make my decisions

01:13:10a lot smoother.

01:13:12Independent Operations?

01:13:14Is that really necessary?

01:13:16We're working

01:13:17across time zones.

01:13:18If every move

01:13:19has to wait

01:13:19for New York's approval,

01:13:21the window closes.

01:13:28He was in a hurry

01:13:29to see Isabella.

01:13:30He left fast.

01:13:32Renata,

01:13:32do good work over there.

01:13:34It's for your own good.

01:13:38After work,

01:13:40I went home

01:13:41to grab my passport.

01:13:42The door opened

01:13:42and I stopped.

01:13:44Isabella was standing

01:13:45on the wool rug,

01:13:46barefoot,

01:13:47in Camden's shirt.

01:13:48When she saw me,

01:13:49she smiled.

01:13:51Renata,

01:13:51what brings you here

01:13:52at this time?

01:13:53Cam's still in the shower.

01:13:55She shifted to one side.

01:13:56The hickey on her neck

01:13:57wasn't hidden.

01:13:57I came for my passport.

01:13:59Isabella followed me.

01:14:00Cam said you fly out

01:14:01next week.

01:14:02London gets cold.

01:14:03Pack extra layers.

01:14:04Otherwise,

01:14:05Cam will worry

01:14:05about you again.

01:14:06I pulled open the drawer,

01:14:08fished out the passport,

01:14:09and dropped it in my bag.

01:14:10The shower water shut off.

01:14:12Camden walked out

01:14:12toweling his hair,

01:14:13a towel around his waist.

01:14:15When he saw me,

01:14:16he froze.

01:14:17Renata,

01:14:18what are you doing here?

01:14:19Almost on instinct,

01:14:20he stepped forward

01:14:20and put Isabella

01:14:21behind him.

01:14:22I looked at him.

01:14:23For seven years,

01:14:24I'd handled investors'

01:14:25doubts for him.

01:14:26I pulled countless

01:14:27all nights with him.

01:14:28The temperature dropped.

01:14:29The person he was

01:14:29guarding her from now

01:14:30was me.

01:14:31Cam,

01:14:32does Renata hate me?

01:14:34She won't even speak to me.

01:14:35Don't read into it.

01:14:36She's just

01:14:36exhausted lately.

01:14:38I took my passport

01:14:38and turned to leave.

01:14:39Passing the coffee table,

01:14:40I slowed down

01:14:41and the bottom drawer

01:14:42was open a crack.

01:14:42Inside was a wedding

01:14:43photoproof,

01:14:44shot on the beach

01:14:45in the Hamptons.

01:14:45In the photo,

01:14:46Camden was in a white suit,

01:14:48leaning down to kiss Isabella,

01:14:49his smile unmistakable.

01:14:50Beside it was a cardio

01:14:51custom order

01:14:51for matching rings.

01:14:52I drew in a breath

01:14:53and looked away.

01:14:54Camden followed my gaze.

01:14:56His face changed instantly.

01:14:58Renata,

01:14:59it's not what you think.

01:15:00And what is it?

01:15:01Camden opened his mouth.

01:15:02A few seconds passed

01:15:03before he answered,

01:15:04quietly.

01:15:05I owe her.

01:15:05It doesn't change us.

01:15:06Once you're back from London,

01:15:07I'll give you that

01:15:08Upper East Side townhouse

01:15:09you've always loved.

01:15:10My chest felt heavy,

01:15:11so seven years

01:15:11could be weighed and priced,

01:15:13dracently tricheting this neatly.

01:15:14No, thank you.

01:15:14Camden took quick steps over,

01:15:16reaching to grab my arm.

01:15:17Renata,

01:15:18don't pick a fight right now.

01:15:19His fingertips brushed

01:15:20the back of my hand,

01:15:21then stopped.

01:15:21Why are your hands so cold?

01:15:23The temperature dropped.

01:15:24I walked out the door

01:15:25into the elevator

01:15:26and hit the lobby button.

01:15:28The doors closed slowly.

01:15:33Through the gap,

01:15:34I saw Camden still at the doorway,

01:15:35brow frerroed,

01:15:36like he might come after me.

01:15:37But Isabella wrapped her arms

01:15:38around his waist from behind.

01:15:39I'll be scared here alone.

01:15:41Cam, don't go.

01:15:44A few days before I flew to London,

01:15:45the company called

01:15:46a last-minute executive meeting.

01:15:47Camden specifically asked me to attend,

01:15:49said it was a project review.

01:15:50Constellation was the project

01:15:51I'd spent two years

01:15:52driving forward for it.

01:15:53I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds

01:15:54and pulled too many all-nighters

01:15:55to count.

01:15:56Nearly all my time and energy

01:15:57had gone into it.

01:16:00I pulled myself together

01:16:01and walked into the conference room.

01:16:03Isabella sat at Camden's right.

01:16:05I sat across from her.

01:16:05After the meeting started,

01:16:06Camden went through

01:16:07some quarterly numbers.

01:16:08Then he changed subjects.

01:16:09Effective today,

01:16:10the lead on the Constellation project

01:16:11transfers to Isabella.

01:16:12Is there a problem

01:16:12with my data model?

01:16:14No issue.

01:16:15She's just a better fit to take it.

01:16:17Focus on London.

01:16:19You don't need to worry

01:16:20about things here anymore.

01:16:21Understood.

01:16:24After the meeting,

01:16:25the others filed out one by one.

01:16:26A few department heads passed me

01:16:28and looked like they wanted

01:16:28to say something.

01:16:29None of them did.

01:16:30My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

01:16:32Her eyes were red.

01:16:33She didn't speak either.

01:16:34I went to the break room

01:16:35and poured a cup of warm water.

01:16:37When I looked up,

01:16:39I caught Isabella's reflection

01:16:40in the glass coming in behind me.

01:16:42Renata,

01:16:43Cam insisted I take over

01:16:45your core project.

01:16:46Honestly,

01:16:46I'm not sure I can handle it.

01:16:48I looked at her,

01:16:49said nothing,

01:16:49and turned to head

01:16:50to Camden's office.

01:16:51The Constellation project

01:16:53is core work

01:16:53I've poured the last

01:16:54two years into.

01:16:57Company resources

01:16:58aren't any one person's credit.

01:17:02Renata,

01:17:02please don't be angry.

01:17:04I'll learn.

01:17:05I won't tank your project.

01:17:06A few steps out,

01:17:07I felt Camden watching me.

01:17:09His lips parted

01:17:10like he might call my name,

01:17:11but Isabella turned just in time,

01:17:12pointing at a report

01:17:12and asking him a question.

01:17:13His attention got pulled back.

01:17:14He said nothing.

01:17:20He said nothing.

01:17:29After seven years together,

01:17:31my fiancé Camden,

01:17:32as CEO,

01:17:33transferred me to the London branch

01:17:34to head up the business.

01:17:36I thought he was finally ready

01:17:37to take my abilities seriously.

01:17:40Instead,

01:17:41outside the break room,

01:17:42I overheard him on the phone,

01:17:44giving instructions to a friend.

01:17:45Lock down Renata's flight info.

01:17:47Next Tuesday,

01:17:48Bella and I head to City Hall

01:17:49to make it official,

01:17:50then throw a party.

01:17:51Make sure she's out

01:17:52of the country by then.

01:17:53Cam,

01:17:54you're playing both sides.

01:17:55What if Renata finds out?

01:17:56She won't.

01:17:57I've buried her in enough work.

01:17:59She doesn't have the bandwidth

01:18:00to notice.

01:18:01Besides,

01:18:01I gave her the overseas business

01:18:02she's always wanted.

01:18:04Even if she finds out,

01:18:05she'll accept it.

01:18:06A man who's made it this far,

01:18:08how could he only have

01:18:09one woman in his life?

01:18:11I stood there.

01:18:12It took a few seconds

01:18:13before it sank in.

01:18:14So that's how it was.

01:18:16Fine.

01:18:16This time,

01:18:17when I leave for London,

01:18:18I'm not coming back.

01:18:19I walked back to my office

01:18:20and looked at Camden Moretti

01:18:22sitting across from my house.

01:18:24When he saw me come in,

01:18:25he stood

01:18:25and reached out

01:18:26to brush a loose strand of hair

01:18:28from my cheek.

01:18:29I tilted my head away.

01:18:33When he saw me come in,

01:18:34he stood

01:18:35and reached out

01:18:36to brush a loose strand of hair

01:18:37from my cheek.

01:18:38I tilted my head away.

01:18:42Did you read the transfer email?

01:18:44I did.

01:18:45I'm happy with it.

01:18:47Good.

01:18:48Don't run yourself ragged over there.

01:18:50Whatever you want to buy,

01:18:51put it on the corporate Amex.

01:18:52I had the limit removed for you.

01:18:54I'm going there to run a business.

01:18:56Not on vacation.

01:18:58Right.

01:18:59You always put work first.

01:19:01A knock at the door.

01:19:03Renata, Camden,

01:19:05this is the commemorative album

01:20:35He avoided my eyes.

01:20:36There's a major investor summit

01:20:37on Tuesday.

01:20:38Can't get away.

01:20:39He said it without looking at me.

01:20:40His thumb brushing twice

01:20:41over the ring and dent

01:20:42on his forefinger.

01:20:42He didn't know he did that.

01:20:43I did.

01:20:45Okay.

01:20:46Since you're handing

01:21:03If every move has to wait

01:21:47Pack extra layers.

01:21:49Otherwise,

01:21:49Cam will worry about you again.

01:21:51I pulled open the drawer,

01:21:52fished out the passport,

01:21:53and dropped it in my bag.

01:21:55The shower water shut off.

01:21:56Camden walked out

01:21:57toweling his hair.

01:21:58A towel around his waist.

01:21:59When he saw me,

01:22:00he froze.

01:22:01Renata?

01:22:02What are you doing here?

01:22:20She's just exhausted lately.

01:22:22I took my passport

01:22:23and turned to leave.

01:22:24Passing the coffee table,

01:22:25I slowed down and

01:22:25the bottom drawer

01:22:26was open to crack.

01:22:27Inside was a wedding photoproof,

01:22:28shot on the beach

01:22:29in the Hamptons.

01:22:30In the photo,

01:22:31Camden was in a white suit,

01:22:32leaning down to kiss Isabella,

01:22:33his smile unmistakable.

01:22:34Beside it was a cardio custom order

01:22:36for matching rings.

01:22:37I drew in a breath

01:22:37and looked away.

01:22:39Camden followed my gaze.

01:22:40His face changed instantly.

01:22:43Renata,

01:22:43it's not what you're thinking.

01:22:45And what is it?

01:22:45Camden opened his mouth.

01:22:46A few seconds passed

01:22:47before he answered,

01:22:48quietly.

01:22:49I open.

01:22:50It doesn't change us.

01:22:51Once you're back from London,

01:22:52I'll give you that

01:22:52Upper East Side townhouse

01:22:53you've always loved.

01:22:54My chest felt heavy,

01:22:55so seven years

01:22:56could be weighed and priced,

01:22:57dracently trichting this neatly.

01:22:58No, thank you.

01:22:59Camden took quick steps over,

01:23:01reaching to grab my arm.

01:23:02Renata,

01:23:02don't pick a fight right now.

01:23:03His fingertips brushed

01:23:04the back of my hand,

01:23:05then stopped.

01:23:06Why are your hands so cold?

01:23:07The temperature dropped.

01:23:08I walked out the door,

01:23:09into the elevator,

01:23:10and hit the lobby button.

01:23:12The doors closed slowly.

01:23:17Through the gap,

01:23:18I saw Camden still at the doorway,

01:23:19brow frerroed,

01:23:20like he might come after me.

01:23:21But Isabella wrapped her arms

01:23:22around his waist from behind.

01:23:24I'll be scared here alone.

01:23:25Cam, don't go.

01:23:28A few days before I flew to London,

01:23:30the company called

01:23:30a last-minute executive meeting.

01:23:32Camden specifically asked me to attend,

01:23:33said it was a project review.

01:23:34Constellation was the project

01:23:35I'd spent two years

01:23:36driving forward for it.

01:23:37I'd drunk myself into stomach bleeds

01:23:39and pulled too many all-nighters

01:23:40to count.

01:23:40Nearly all my time and energy

01:23:42had gone into it.

01:23:45I pulled myself together

01:23:46and walked into the conference room.

01:23:47Isabella sat at Camden's right.

01:23:49I sat across from her.

01:23:50After the meeting started,

01:23:51Camden went through

01:23:51some quarterly numbers.

01:23:52Then he changed subjects.

01:23:53Effective today,

01:23:54the lead on the Constellation project

01:23:55transfers to Isabella.

01:23:56Is there a problem with my data model?

01:23:58No issue.

01:24:00She's just a better fit to take it.

01:24:02Focus on London.

01:24:03You don't need to worry

01:24:04about things here anymore.

01:24:05Understood.

01:24:08After the meeting,

01:24:09the others filed out one by one.

01:24:11A few department heads passed me

01:24:12and looked like they wanted

01:24:13to say something.

01:24:14None of them did.

01:24:14My deputy Chloe squeezed my shoulder.

01:24:16Her eyes were red.

01:24:17She didn't speak either.

01:24:18I went to the break room

01:24:19and poured a cup of warm water.

01:24:22When I looked up,

01:24:23I caught Isabella's reflection

01:24:25in the glass coming in behind me.

01:24:27Renata,

01:24:27Cam insisted I take over

01:24:29your core project.

01:24:30Honestly, I'm not sure

01:24:31I can handle it.

01:24:32I looked at her,

01:24:33said nothing,

01:24:34and turned to head

01:24:34to Camden's office.

01:24:36The Constellation project

01:24:37is core work

01:24:38I've poured the last two years into.

01:24:41Company resources

01:24:42aren't any one person's credit.

01:24:46Renata,

01:24:47please don't be angry.

01:24:48I'll learn.

01:24:49I won't tank your project.

01:24:51A few steps out,

01:24:52I felt Camden watching me.

01:24:53His lips parted

01:24:54like he might call my name,

01:24:55but Isabella turned just in time,

01:24:56pointing at a report

01:24:57and asking him a question.

01:24:58His attention got pulled back.

01:24:59He said nothing.
