I knew he was furious about the recent project loss to a competitor and had ordered an investigation.Did he think that I was so stupid to do such a thing as this?
My heart sank,but I guess it had gotten to this point.
"How could I be so stupid as to sabotage myself and this company?"I asked Layla,my tone icy.I wasn't going to let her walk all over me.Just because she got hitched to Clayton didn't mean eshe had the right.
Her face reddened.She was either flushed or angry that I was calling her out.
"You think I'm stupid?"she shouted,attempting to slap me again but I sidestepped,avoiding her blow,causing her to stumble a bit.
"I didn't say that.You're the one putting words in my mouth and not giving me a chance to explain,"I said,a lopsided smile gracing my face.It was there but almost invincible to detect unless anyone was close to my face.
A male secretary intervened.
"You dare to defy me?Wait,are you calling me a liar?"Layla shouted,obviously forgetting that she was just a secretary and that she didn't have the right.
"Enough!Both of you!"Clayton ordered.His voice commanding attention,as he stood up.
