Performance reviews were a tool for bosses to control their subordinates. After a moment of silence, not wanting to stir up trouble, I agreed to follow Everly's instructions.
Back at my desk, Everly smugly handed me a pile of invoices and documents to sort out. I didn't refuse and worked diligently until 9 PM.
With the office lights bright and everyone else gone, Dexter approached me from behind. "Ashley, still working, huh?"
I moved away, ignoring him.
He overstepped further, attempting to embrace me!
Panicked, I struggled fiercely, stabbing his head with my high heel.
"Ashley, you're done!" Dexter screamed, clutching his face.
At his shout, I figured since I had already hit him, I might as well make it count. Grabbing my high heel, I beat him wildly as he howled in pain.
Seizing the moment while he was groaning on the ground, I quickly grabbed my bag and dashed out the front door.
The night air was chillingly cold, and I soon calmed down.
I couldn't just sit around and wait for Dexter and Everly to get their way.
Remembering our company's CEO, who also seemed to be Sienna's secret admirer, I took a cab to the address I recalled from the book, heading to the CEO's luxurious villa.
