How funny, since when did my mother have such a son?
——
I looked down at the compensation agreement. It claimed that because I had leaked core project data, the company had suffered huge losses, and I was willing to take full responsibility.
What an impressive accusation.
When I had just returned from abroad, Dahlia Larson had warmly invited me to join her company.
With our wedding coming up, I took it as a chance to see her true character, so I agreed.
I never expected that she only wanted me there to take the blame for Reid Payne.
On the other end of the call, Dahlia must have noticed how harsh she sounded, because her voice softened.
“Weston, I’m doing this for our future. Reid is the chairman’s son; his record can’t have any problems. But you’re different. You’re new here. It’s only natural for you to bear a little loss.”
I interrupted her. “Dahlia, I suggest you think carefully before deciding this.”
Before she could reply, I ended the call.
Just then, Reid suddenly poured a cup of ice water over my head, and the freezing liquid ran through my hair and down my back, making me shiver.
