Meanwhile, at Peterson Group, things were bustling as they began preparing the small summer collection..

At that moment, Deborah arrived at the company, helped out of the vehicle by her beloved.

"My love, are you sure you'll be okay?" Jayden asked.

"Yes, I already told him I've arrived, so he should be down from his office any minute."

"Okay, and sorry, my love, but I won't be able to join you for lunch today."

"It's fine, don't worry. Just focus on your work."

"Okay, love," Jayden said, giving her a kiss on the lips. "Hey, if they can't drive you home, call the company and have them assign a driver to pick you up, alright? I don't want you taking a taxi." "Okay."

""Promise me."

"I promise, love. I'll call to ask for a car since you and my dad are busy," she repeated playfully.

Jayden laughed and, after giving her one last kiss, returned to his car while waving goodbye as he headed to the construction site since they were close to finishing the hotel.

She waved back until the car disappeared from view,

Once he was out of sight, she turned to enter the company, where some employees started whispering as they saw her arrive.

They recognized her from the trial, and many felt bad for having mistreated and humiliated her when she was Roger's wife, unaware of her true identity. Even their boss had never treated her well... At the start of their marriage, Deborah used to come to the company to invite Roger to lunch, but they never let her in. On the few occasions the ex-couple met, he would yell at her and have security escort her out.

With a calm and slightly slow pace, she made her way to the reception.

"Good morning. Do you have an appointment?" the young woman at the desk asked.

"Yes, I'm here to see-"

"Debbie!" Elliot suddenly came running out of the elevator, rushing to her side. He hugged her around her belly but quickly pulled away. "He moved! Hello to you too, nephew," he said excitedly, touching her belly and feeling a slight movement. "You must be happy to hear from your favorite uncle."

"It seems so," she replied.

"Come on, everything's ready," he said happily, taking her hand to guide her to the elevator. "By the way, who brought you here?"

"Jayden, and he sends his regards," she said as they entered the elevator.

Why didn't he stay?"

"He's busy with the final stages of the hotel construction."

"I guess it's that time of year. We're in the same boat here," Elliot mentioned as the elevator doors opened and they stepped out.

"A new collection?"

"Yes and no. I'm saving my designs for winter and Christmas," Elliot explained. "But to motivate all the employees, we held an internal contest for them to design a summer-themed necklace, bracelet, and ring. "That sounds great, giving them a chance to shine."

"Exactly, and it also means I won't be overloaded with work, plus the public won't get too used to my designs."

"That's a smart strategy."

"Dad and Mr. Edgar from public relations suggested the idea to keep interest in our main jewelry line while also ensuring the company has fresh new pieces.

Deborah smiled at the teenager's excitement as they entered his office.

Inside, George was reviewing some documents.

"Debbie, you're here," he said, standing up when he saw them enter. "And oh... I see my grandson is getting big."

"And very active," she added, approaching to hug the older man.

"I can imagine. How much longer?"

"Just two months left."

"Time has flown by. How are your preparations going?"

"Actually, today the gynecologist asked me how I wanted James to be born."

"I see. Whatever you choose should be what makes you feel most comfortable," he said, taking her hand. and guiding her to the nearest chair.

"I'll ask Fabian to bring us something to drink," Elliot said excitedly.

"Elliot's thrilled to have you here."

"Yes, and it's been a long while since I promised to visit."

"It's understandable, given how busy you were with everything related to your mother's inheritance."

"And my mother-in-law helped me replace a good buyer, so the house is already sold."

"I figured you'd do that since it wasn't worth keeping a place filled with bad memories."

"Hm... Now I'm starting to create new memories in my home, and once James is born, I'll move into the Cooper mansion."
