The police officers escorted Victoria and her attorney out through the heavy wooden front doors.
The lobby grew completely quiet once again as the front door closed gently.
Mark turned toward Sarah and offered a faint relieved smile.
Mark: You handled that entire situation with incredible bravery and skill today.
Sarah: I was only doing the job you hired me to do, Mr. Sterling.
Mark: You went far beyond your duties when you ran down those stairs with him.
Sarah handed the peaceful baby back to Mark's strong arms.
The infant cooed happily and reached his tiny hand toward his father's collar.
Mark: He knows he is safe whenever you are standing near him.
Sarah: The backup footage has already been transferred to your corporate legal team's server.
Mark: Victoria will never be able to step foot in this company or house again.
Mark walked over to his study desk and pulled out a fresh set of documents.
He laid them down on the glass table near the entrance hall seating area.
Mark: I want to offer you a permanent position as Head of Family Security and Care.
Sarah looked down at the contract with genuine surprise in her eyes.
Sarah: Are you sure you want to trust me with such big responsibilities?
Mark: You proved today that you care about my son's life more than money.
Sarah: Then I would be honored to accept your offer, Mark.
Mark signed his name clearly on the bottom line of the white paper.
The morning sunlight streamed brightly through the high windows, illuminating the clear marble hall.
The long shadow of family betrayal had finally vanished from the Sterling home.
