Chapter 120

• The next day Gemma was up early, with a pep to her step. She felt oddly more relaxed and at ease after yesterday and the talk she had with Derek. And she couldn't feel more happier, or realxed, that for once in the last couple of weeks, she felt good enough to step outside of her home without looking over her shoulders. Though she knew well enough, that he was still there. In the shadows, watching her. But she finally felt like she could do exactly what she wanted from the beginning. Not let him get to her.
• She thought she managed that the first time, but clearly she let her fear crawl back up. But not this time. He wouldn't win.
• She walked into the office and sat down at her desk right up front. She was the first one in like always. And went through the new stack of manuscripts. Placing them in the conference room for today's meeting.
