Seven years after I helped Darcy Jenning build a company from nothing, we finally made it to the IPO stage. But that very day, he eagerly blocked me and announced his romance with his long-lost first love on social media. The comment section erupted. A person wrote: [Ms. Windrow gave up a high paying job to help you start this company. Now that it's listed, you're cutting her loose?] Darcy replied impatiently: [Back then, I didn't have options. [And after seven years with her, I'm even more certain I should marry someone I actually love.] His friends kept trying to talk sense into him. A person wrote: [Ms. Windrow handles most of the company's operations. If she quits because of this, what will you do?] Darcy paused briefly, then replied with determination: [She's just a secretary. I could have anyone replace her. The company doesn't need her.] What he didn't realize was that on the other side of the screen, I was watching him type out from his account that was still logged on my device. I finished my iced coffee in one go. Then, I booked a flight home for three days later.
