But I was a woman on a mission, and I didn't stop and chat with a few of them like I used to do.
Not when I was not sure of how deeply the rot that’s Vincent had eaten into my company.
He had been in charge of hiring for the last few years, as well as laying off staff. I shuddered at the thought of how many traitors and backstabbers I had treated like family.
I took the elevator and it opened up to the top floor, all of which belonged to Vincent as 'CEO'.
I made my way across the expansive space towards the door at the end of it.
Just before it was his assistant, Clarissa’s station, and I was forced to a stop when she suddenly jumped out from behind her desk and stepped in my way.
"Mr. Smith isn't in right now, but I can schedule an appointment for when he returns."
I stared at her with wide eyes, struck dumb by her audacity.
Like most things, I held my employees to very high standards, and the short minute I had been in her presence showed how little Vincent cared about Hart Inc's principles.
However, I had more important things to focus on than her poor communication skills.
