“Cece, This is my house and I invited you here. If anyone has a problem with you, they have a problem with me and they should take it up with me!”
Cecelia’s bright pink lips curled into a sinister smile.
Oliver, supporting Cecelia, turned and barked coldly, “Madelynn, you will apologize to her right now!”
“I will do no such thing! I have been nothing but nice to Cecelia. Oliver, do you even have any idea where I was last night? Aren’t you even the least bit curious?”
“I don’t give a fuck where you were last night,” he snapped. “But you don’t get to hurt Cece! You have no right! And if you don’t apologize right now, you’ll be suspended from the office until you learn to have proper manners!”
In his eyes, Madelynn’s only joy came from working in the office. So he figured suspension would be the ultimate punishment. What he didn’t know was that Madelynn never even cared about the work. She had a master’s degree that meant she could work in much higher places rather than being a mere secretary. Hell, she could own the company if she wanted. She worked harder only so Oliver could have it easier.
