see, they don’t have the expertise or the experience to teach other people what they can barely do themselves.”
    Jennifer started to feel dizzy just thinking about it. It wasn’t as simple as she had imagined. In other circumstances, she would have calmly assessed the situation and made the best decision.
    But circumstances were far from normal and ideal. She was in the middle of the sea, miles away from home, and her marriage was going down the drain. She didn’t even want to work and worry about all these recruitment issues. All she wanted was a second chance with Bruce.
    “How long do you think it will take to find at least one potential candidate?” Jennifer said.
    “I can’t tell. It’s very hard to predict.”
    Jennifer couldn’t stand anymore. She didn’t want to hear all these negative and depressive news. She quickly thanked the woman and cut the conversation.
    She ran out of the office and looked for Bruce. They had ignored each other for long enough. They needed to talk and clear things out. If he didn’t want her anymore, at least she wanted to know. She couldn’t stand being left in the dark and just wait. She felt powerless and she hated it. Everything was slipping out of control: her business and her marriage. Of course, Bruce was her priority and it was her responsibility to fix what she had broken.
    She asked around and a staff member finally told her that Bruce had just left the yacht. Jennifer froze and wanted to freak out; was he going back to New York? Instead of panicking though, she calmly asked where he had gone.
    Apparently, Bruce was in town to settle a problem about insurance. Jennifer immediately knew what it was about: the rented car they had crashed the other night.
    She asked the staff member to bring her to the coast, where she and Bruce had rented the sports car. It took them almost an hour and Jennifer started to lose patience. They finally arrived and Jennifer ran to the garage. The salesman told her that Bruce had left already but he had no idea where he was headed. It was getting really frustrating but Jennifer wasn’t going to give up. She wanted to talk now and she was determined to find him.
    She walked around and looked for him everywhere. The streets were crowded and it was difficult to walk without hitting someone. After an hour and half under the burning sun, she was ready to go home when she saw him. Bruce was sitting outside of a small café, sipping an iced tea. She could tell by the look on his face that he hadn’t slept well for several nights. He looked older and exhausted, and she barely recognized him.
    She took a deep breath and took the chair next to him.
    “May I?”
    He looked up, saw her and nodded without saying a word. Jennifer didn’t expect a warm welcome. She was simply glad she had finally found him.
    “Bruce, we need to talk. I can’t stand being alone and waiting for you to tell me that we’re done.”
    He said nothing. He wasn’t even looking at her and Jennifer felt abandoned. She was desperately trying to reconnect with him.
    “I’m so sorry, Bruce. Please, talk to me. If you hate me, just say it but please, stop ignoring me. It’s killing me...”
    She felt emotional and her eyes started to get filled with tears. He finally looked at her but his face was hard; he looked tough and angry.
    “It was this man again? Enzo?”
    Jennifer nodded.
    “What happened?”
    “He came to New York for work and he contacted me.”
    “And you couldn’t resist...”
    “No Bruce, don’t be sarcastic, please. I just wanted to thank him for his help. He helped us to save your company.”
    “He just wanted to have my wife in exchange. Classic.”
    Jennifer sighed and shook her head.
    “Stop please. It wasn’t like that. We just spent time together. At that time, you were spending a lot of time with Fancelli and to be honest, I didn’t like it. You knew it.”
    “Yeah...”
    “It wasn’t great between us, Bruce. I was weak. I was struggling to
