Chapter 21
“Mr. Hughes...”
“I have work to do. Please leave.”
Brian had nothing more to say to her. He picked up the documents he had been perusing earlier and got back to work.
“All right. Don’t tire yourself out. I’ll be going now.”
Eleanor was mortified.
Brian was acting cold toward her again.
Had she come at a bad time, maybe?
Meanwhile, Rosalynn headed straight to the bathroom after leaving Brian’s office.
She stared at her blushing face in the mirror and splashed some cold water against her cheeks.
What was she getting so excited for?
He didn’t even recognize her.
To him, she was nothing more than an employee, a subordinate.
Rosalynn composed herself and went out.
She was on her way to her desk when she bumped into Eleanor in the hallway.
Eleanor fell back half a step from the impact and dropped her purse.
“What the hell are you doing?” Eleanor snapped as she looked at her things now scattered ‘on the floor.
“I’m sorry.”
Rosalynn apologized and was already bending down to pick up her stuff.
It was then that she caught sight of a familiar jade pendant. She reached for it, her eyes widening in surprise.
The jade pendant was hers!
Why was it in Eleanor’s purse?
“Give that back.”
