I read every word.
Ladies,
Hope you are doing well.
I am contacting you because after personally reviewing the NDAs and final compensation packages associated with our departure from Ares, I discovered multiple inconsistencies and questionable clauses that may warrant legal attention.
This is not a personal or emotional message.
This is about fairness and opportunity.
If either of you is interested in discussing next steps, please respond within forty-eight hours.
Professional collaboration could benefit everyone involved.
Regards,
Bianca Cole

But Bianca was never the strategist.
She was the opening move.
A useful one.
A beautiful one.
And soon, a very dangerous one.
