But Giffard refuses. His work is the only thing that still gives meaning to his life. Stuck between the prospect of a professional future that would allow her to flee her family history, and the unexpected affection she feels for the sales rep, Clémence must choose. A choice that will inexorably push Clémence and Henri to their last entrenchments.
