Malcolm felt frustrated and wronged.
âHow was I supposed to know he would get so mad over a designer?â
âYou didnât know? But you have no problem slandering someone as you please?â
Johan was so enraged that he kicked him again.
Malcolm gritted his teeth through the pain and asked, âDad, please donât scold me right now.
What should I do?â
Johan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
âWhat else can you do? Go beg for his forgiveness!â
Rosalynn retreated to her workstation, distancing herself from the man.
She inhaled deeply before exhaling slowly.
âRosalynn, youâre back? Did you close the deal?â Maggie inquired, her smile warm.
âForget it.
It fell through.

Maggieâs surprise was evident.
âSo it was a setup? Why would they do that? Do you think Eleanor was behind it?â

âHow ruthless of her.
Why would Mr.
Hughes be attracted to such a woman?â
Maggie shared Rosalynnâs distaste for Eleanor.
Rosalynn, already in low spirits, had no desire to further discuss the matter.
âWorkâs over for the day.
Would you like to grab dinner with me?â
Maggie declined, âNo, but thanks for the offer.
I have a shift at Atera Restaurant.
â
At this, Rosalynn was taken aback.
âYouâre working part-time again?â
âYes.
â
With a smile, Maggie began to gather her belongings, ready to clock out.
