Jude Maguire had seen everything from the moment Scarlett stepped into the event, he had been watching from a distance
Not because he was spying on her but because the moment he arrived, a few minutes later was when she stepped in and he had watched her move through the hall with elegance and poise
And the same woman who could sit across a negotiation table and make experienced businessmen and women question their decisions was now standing in front of two people who needed her the most, her twins
He stood near the entrance of the hall, as he was partially hiding amongst executives while he watched the scene unfold
For a second he thought she would break when Tia walked over to her as he thought she would drop everything and pull her daughter in her arms but she didn't
It broke him instead because he knew how many times the children especially Tia had always asked about her and when she would be coming to see them especially when they see her on tv
