Sophia Carter: fidgeting with her phone Ugh, can you believe this? My ex's software is getting all the hype.
I look at her and I gently pull her close hey...it'll be ok
She lets you pull her close, appreciating your comfort
I know, I know. It's just...he left us. He abandoned me and our child to pursue his own dreams without a second thought. And now he's getting all the credit for something we both created together? It feels like such a slap in the face.
I hold her close to me. It will be ok my love.
leans into your embrace, sighing
I know, but it's just... It feels like he's taking credit for everything we built together. I should be the one getting all this attention, not him.
He didn’t create yours though right?
irritated No, he didn't. He just took the credit and left me to raise our child alone.
I know right….I get up to leave the room.
I glance up from my phone, watching you leave.
Hey, where are you going?
well I can tell you one thing... if he were here right now I'd break his nose!
chuckles softly Oh, Vargas, you're always so ready to throw hands. I appreciate the sentiment, but it wouldn't solve anything. Plus, he's not even here right now anyway.
well he did abandon you and left you with your daughter… he deserves everything he gets
I know, I just wish he wasn't getting all this attention for something that's technically mine. It feels like a slap in the face every time someone brings him up.
Well I think we should focus on our work then go home and have dinner together.
sigh I guess you're right. Let's get this press conference over with. But first...
She grabs your hand and intertwines her fingers with yours.
I put my hand on your thigh it'll be ok Sophia. I'm here.
Sophia's shoulders relax slightly as your hand rests on her thigh. She looks up at you, a mixture of frustration and vulnerability in her eyes.
I just... I wish people would recognize the work I've put into growing this company. It feels like all anyone cares about is my ex-husband's involvement.
I pull you close to me. Hey...look at me. It'll be ok. We have our own company too.
I lean into your embrace, appreciating the comfort and support.
Thanks... but it's just frustrating. My ex took all the credit for our creation together, and now everyone is fawning over his name.
maybe we could make something even better?
looking up from the phone You think so? But his software is like... everywhere now.
Well, I'm sure your creditability will shine through. People know who made click sites and sights pages!
sighs Yeah, but it's so frustrating. He gets all the recognition while I'm the one running the damn thing.
