She froze for a moment, as if my words had caught her off guard. But soon, she lifted her chin again. "Then what are you angry about?"
I looked straight into her eyes. "You know better than anyone."
Her gaze flickered slightly. "I… I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
I got straight to the point and asked her what was going on with the cufflinks and the watch.
Megan was momentarily stunned, then explained openly. "The cufflinks were a reward I gave Brian for his hard work. As for the watch—since you don’t wear it anyway, what’s the harm in giving it to him?"
I almost laughed from sheer anger. So the things I had treasured so dearly had never meant anything to her.
Megan casually brushed a loose strand of hair from her ear, the corners of her red lips curling up. "Raymond, when did you become so petty? It’s just two little items. If you want, I can always buy you more."
She turned her head toward the conference room, her tone light and airy. "Brian has been staying up late every day for the project lately—I have to show some appreciation."
"Appreciation?"
It felt like a block of ice had been shoved into my chest.
