Laurent sighed.
“Eleonore… please…
I interrupted him.
“Don’t worry. I’m not going to fire you.
His face showed a brief relief.
“Because you’re resigning, here and now.
A murmur ran through the room.
“I want you to get exactly what you deserve: start over…” without anyone opening the way for you.
The hotel security approached discreetly.
Camille tried to speak:
“I didn’t know that…”
I looked at her.
“You knew perfectly well that he was married.”
She says nothing more.
Rivas offered me his arm.
“The council is waiting for you for the official toast.”
I took a deep breath and walked to the platform, leaving behind the life I had been trying to save.
