Snapshot

This one is for every single woman who was told to calm down, stop meddling, take up less space, and be a little quieter… Here’s a bullhorn. Use it often.

Yes, people can be awful. And I’m sorry, but you have to be more resilient than that.

Oh my god it’s Palmer reincarnated

She rolls her eyes. “Such a hero. Just take the cash. Who can’t use an extra ten bucks?”

The man whose grandma just gave him TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS

Dex makes my knees weak.

Girl same

I swear he could tell me to jump off a bridge or take a nap in a bonfire with that look on his face, and I’d do it.

Just breathe, baby. Your feet have to stay here, but your mind can go wherever you want. Where do you want to go, sweet boy?

“I’d offer to pay for you, but Pocket Protectors probably wouldn’t appreciate that very much.” “Don’t call Alan that,” she scolds me.

HAHAHAHAHA

One day, I’m going to be front row at their wedding, smiling at the beautiful bride who should’ve been mine and daydreaming about beating Alan to a pulp.

And they say romance is dead

In the matter of Hessler Group Holdings, I nominate Dex Malcolm Hessler’s legal spouse to inherit my majority shares in full, which are then to be locked from transfer or distribution for a minimum of a twelve-month period.

WHAT

I bury my head in my hands as I groan. Grandma? What the hell were you thinking?

Granny was thinking you gotta marry Lennox oh fuck yeah oldie

Alan

Boo can we keep calling him pocket protector. That’s more fun

“The night I walked in on you on the bed. When you…you know…you said Dex’s name.”

LENNOX

“And where the fuck is your boyfriend? He’s just standing by, letting you go through this all by yourself? This whole good guy façade, and then he shits the bed when it matters most?”

Yesss Dex. Pop off (he’s gonna LOVE when he finds out pocket protector broke up with her)

He exhales and crosses his arms, still surveying me. What the hell is he trying to figure out?

IF HE WANTS TO MARRY YOU AND MAKE YOU THE CEO OF A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY LENNOX. THATS WHAT

The obvious answer to everyone’s problems is clear as day.

Happy to see you’ve finally arrived to the correct conclusion, Dex. We’re happy to have you here

I point to my card.

The black card, with no limit, Avery mentioned previously. Got it got it got it.

For fuck’s sake. Some random dude stole my girl with a piece of fruit.

hehehehe

“I’m sorry. The whole point of resisting you was to not make your life so messy. But shit, since I’m screwing everything up for you anyway, might as well dive in.”

don’t know. My net worth is somewhere in the ballpark of eighteen billion.”

Billion with a B is why he was able to replace a Cherry Barb every 3 weeks

“This year, I’ll be there alone because I just lost the last person on earth that I love.

Sobbing

Denny

I’m suspicious. I think she’s a rat

“Sweet…but condescending.

Dex shakes his head. “No ride. I’ll be there to pick you up.”

Ugh why do I feel like he’s not going to be there

“Daughters aren’t supposed to save their daddies. That’s not how the fairytales go.”

Despite his best intentions, Dex couldn’t meet me at the airport.

Yeah. Here we go

“Please be careful. Reporters can be a little invasive. Believe me, I’ve been burnt a time or two. Just stick to whatever Denny advises.”

I feel like Denny is going to be bad news

The office still smells like her, though, the fancy French perfume that I love.

Do we think Denny is trying to become Dottie? I think she is and I think she’ll go off the deep end

It's always fires.

I’m already sad for Lennox

I sigh, feeling my heart twist in my chest. Lennox has been alone all day.

YEP AND WHOSE FAULT IS THAT

I can see Dex sitting at the head of the table with an empty chair beside him.

No this is really about to piss me off

Dex is not a true Hessler. But Denny is.

“A concert cruise,” Richard repeats, bobbing his head in approval. “That’s actually a fantastic idea.”

He’s gonna steal the idea. Lennoxxxxx

“Nuh-uh. Drop your arms. I want to see you. Every single inch of what’s mine.”

All I can think about is the giant mistake she just made

And now I have to get to the bottom of this because there’s a rat on my team.

It’s your wife…😭

Bright red, as always. It’s Harrison’s favorite color.
