Even though she and Pierre were done, Selena wouldn’t let Jameson die in vain, nor would she allow someone to sabotage her. To that end, she had to leave for Springvale and wait for the perfect time to investigate the truth.
“President Fowler trusts you, Miss Yard. I know it.” Linda wanted her to stay.
“It doesn’t matter.” Selena patted her shoulder. “I’ll leave everything here to you and Pauline. Video call me if anything happens. I don’t think I can do anything here, so it’s up to you guys.”
“You can count on us, Miss Yard.”
Selena took Juniper and went to the airport without even calling the conference of the day. She had to leave immediately, or John might find out she was missing before she could go.
“Why are we going back all of a sudden, Mommy? I haven’t said goodbye to Joaquin. He must be so sad now that Jameson’s not here anymore.” Juniper started tearing up with every word she said.
Selena hugged her daughter. “You’ll see him when the time comes, Juniper.”
“Miss Yard…” A voice came from behind.
Selena turned back ever so slowly, and she saw a little boy standing behind her. For a split second, she thought she saw Jameson, but she shook her head and realized it was Joaquin, not Jameson. She would have been the happiest woman if the one who showed up was Jameson.
“Jojo!” Juniper trotted up to him. “What brings you here?”
Joaquin was as deadpan as usual. “I came to see you two off.”
Selena looked around and saw the edge of a windbreaker peeking out from a corner. That must be Pierre. He must have brought Joaquin over after knowing we would be leaving today.
