[PEARL] We were excited for Davis Groups' anniversary party, and Zach and I carefully planned every detail. The event wasn't just about marking another year of success; it was a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone in the company. Julie's presence at the celebration didn't escape my notice. She seemed to be everywhere. I couldn't help but observe how Julie's demeanor shifted when Zach was near. Her laughter seemed a touch more musical, her smiles a bit brighter, as if she was under some sort of spell whenever he was around. Throughout the evening, I found myself stealing glances at Julie when she thought no one was watching. There was a subtle flirtatiousness in her interactions with Zach; a lingering touch, a coy smile and that sparked a pang of jealousy deep within me
