I asked him, "Do you not understand what a ring symbolizes? When you put that ring on, didn't you notice the engraving and read what it says?"
Under my string of questions, Kieran's face flushed red as he struggled to take off the ring. His frantic attempts only drew more attention.
Kate glanced around and, with no other choice, pulled me aside to a secluded spot.
She anxiously shook my hand, her tone full of flattery, "Alec, are you jealous? Don't misunderstand. Kieran is just my assistant."
I sneered coldly, "Assistant? An assistant with a monthly salary higher than a manager's? Decked out in designer brands, buying a supercar within three months of joining the company, what kind of assistant lives this extravagantly?"
"I know his background very well. He's just a rural college graduate you brought into the company not long after he graduated. I've told you before, I can't tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes. You may not love me, but betrayal is off-limits," I said.
