But as he made to leave the conference with the others,I held his wrist.
"You'll pay for this humiliation,Clayton."I whispered.
He shook me off,cocking his eyebrows at me.I slammed my ID card onto his chest.
"Consider this my resignation!"
Layla sneered at me."Sage Riley,you have no right to say that to him.You're the one who stirred the hornet's nest.Now leave!"
Without a second thought,I slapped her,catching her off guard.
"That's for earlier,"I said.
Her shocked expression satisfied me.If I could smack her again,I would.Probably not now,but soon.
"This isn't over.I'll find the evidence that I'm innocent and prove to you all that I'm being setup.And whoever is responsible prays to whatever god they serve that I don't find out."
I noticed Clayton watch me leave,his eyes held amusement in them.
To hell with him.I was going to make him regret it.

I was in the elevator when Julian Storm stepped in as well.Julian was once Clayton's childhood acquaintance,but now,they were business rivals.
His stunning looks and defined features didn't impress me.He looked like an Adonis,no doubt,but I wasn't going to fall for that.I mean,once beaten twice shy,right?
What brought him here today though?
