He didn't say another word, just clenched his fists at his sides. Behind the gold- rimmed glasses, a cold glint
flashed in his eyes.
A sharp knock cat the door.
"Cin," Carolyn called.
Richard, the executive assistant, stepped inside with two security guards. They yanked Devin up from where he'd
been kneeling on the floor.
Richard shot a look at Peter, the department manager.
Peter's voice was flat and icy. "I can walk out on my own."
Without waiting for a response, he turned and strode toward the door.
The guards dragged Devin, the deputy project manager, out of the office. Devin struggled the whole way,
shouting, "Ms. Witt! Please! Just giveone more chance, | swear I'll do better!"
Carolyn's lips pressed into a thin line. Her face was stone cold. She didn't even look at him.
Once Devin was gone, Carolyn finally spoke, her tone brisk and chilly. "Richard, send out a notice. We're meeting
in the conference room in ten minutes. I'll be appointing a new project manager and deputy."
"Yes, Ms. Witt."

they put together a proposal that finally made Carolyn nod in approval.
Proposal in hand, Carolyn headed to Fisher Corporation to see Joshua.
Since coming back to the country, she'd been to Fisher Corp's headquarters a few times already.
Downstairs, the new receptionist, Mindy, knew her by now.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Witt," Mindy greeted her warmly as soon as she walked in.
Carolyn smiled, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button for the twenty- seventh floor.
The twenty-seventh was just below the CEO's suite-only Joshua's private elevator went all the way up Every time
Carolyn visited, she could only wait in the lounge on twenty-seven until Joshua finished. whatever he was doing.
As Carolyn entered the elevator, Allison was just walking into the Fisher Corporation lobby.
She'd drafted the lawsuits Fisher Corp had commissioned and needed the legal rep's signature and the company
seat Since their office wasntar, she figured she'd just drop by herself.
She remembered Joshua had brought the company's legal rep to the law firm last time, but Allison hadn't
actually met the person.
Before coming, she'd called Joshua's assistant, John, but he hadn't picked up— probably caught up in a meeting.
Downstairs, Mindy stopped her at the front desk. "Miss, who are you here to see?"
"I'm here to see Joshua."
Mindy sized her up, suspicion flaring in her eyes. Another one chasing after the CEO?
In her three months at Fisher Corp, Mindy had lost count of how many hopefuls she'd had to turn away for the
boss. At this point, she was almost numb.
Assuming Allison was another one, Mindy's voice cooled. "Do you have an appointment?"
Allison shook her head. "No, but I—"

Before Allison could finish, Mindy cut
her off. "No apPOITENEN;, no fdeting.
