Honestly, | did want to cat what Ron brought. But if | gave in, Hayden would think his little peace offering
worked, that he'd secretly made it up to me.
| couldn't let him have that satisfaction. I'd make sure he stayed worried, unable to swoop in and fix things for
me.
Luckily, | had ssnacks stashed in my cabinet. Just as | was reaching for one, the office phone rang.
| grabbed a snack with one hand, the phone with the other.
What? How bad? I'll be there right away."
By the t| hung up, the snack was forgotten, and | was already on my feet, ready to go.

"Ms. Kay, this is all just a big misunderstanding. I'm really sorry about what happened," the man, Sandor Laird,
stammered. He was their project lead.
"You call this a misunderstanding, but my guy's been beaten up. So what are you going to do about it?" | asked,

I scoffed. "That's it?"
He hesitated, scrambling. "We'll also cover his lost wages and any recovery costs-"
| raised a hand, cutting him off. "Bring the guy who hit him over here."
"Uh... about that... I've already fired him and sent him home," Sandor stammered, but it was obvious he was
lying.
"Mr. Laird, | want to see him. If not, I'll call the police right now." | pulled out my phone.
In the next second, a sharp pain shot through my wrist as my phone was snatched away,

| didn't flinch. "Got any proof?"
"Proof? | am the proof! Saw him waltzing into the women's locker room myself," he barked, pointing right in my
face. My eyes narrowed. "Move your hand."
He smirked. "And what if | don't? Maybe I'll put my hands on you too."
As he reached for my face, | didn't give him the chance. My hand shot up, slapping him hard across the cheek.
