“It’s not.”
“If Kira wants a goat onstage again, the answer is still no.”
“It’s not that either.”
“Then why do you look nervous?”
Alejandro stood behind his desk.
On it was a framed document.
You stepped closer.
Board Resolution: Appointment of Sofia Salazar to the Board of Directors of Lujan Entertainment Group.
Your breath caught.
You read it twice.
Then a third time.
Alejandro watched you quietly.
“This isn’t symbolic,” he said. “Voting seat. Full authority. You earned it.”
You looked up.
“I know.”
He smiled.
“I know you know.”
You touched the frame lightly.
For a moment, you thought of the taxi ride.
The sunlight on the buildings.
The strange unreal feeling after quitting.
The phone blocked.
The sleep.
The calls.
The chaos.
The hashtag you hated.
The employees who thought it was just them.
And now this.
Not because the company gave you power out of kindness.
