These past few hours had shown me Clayton's truel colors.And if he thought that he was a Charmeleon,I was more than willing to show him that I was a painter who knew her colors.
I wasn't going to be at the losing side.
Julian stood before me,his eyes fixed on me and the box in my arms,a hint of provocation in his tone.
"Sage,did you get fired?"He asked,his interest piqued.
"Who wants to know?You?"H asked,cheesily,as if playing with him.
Years ago,Julian had shown interest in me,but I rejected him for Clayton.Thinking about it now,I felt angry for even devoting an ounce of my time to Clayton.He clearly didn't deserve it.
I was done playing the pauper game.
After leaving Clayton's company,I made haste to get back to my 500-square-meter apartment.
I decided to return to New York City to see my father once I found the real culprit who leaked the project.
The Goldberg Corporation,New York City's largest bank,had branches abroad.Five years ago,my father wanted me to take over,but I hid my identity due to my crazy love for Clayton.
Now,I knew better and didn't want to conceal it anymore.
I dialed a number.The person on other end picked up after the third ring.
"Hey,"I said.
"Yeah?What's up?"
