Chapter 430

Chapter 0430 “yes, please” he answers, “Could you please collect the weekly reports from the I departments. Due to yesterday's event, I wasn’t able to get them.” I “Sure, no problem. Let me just put my bag in my office, then I'll get them.” I leave after he nods. Rushing to my office, I quickly put my things away before leaving for the other departments.

When I get to the first department, the atmosphere is tense as I step into the space. Everyone, and I mean, everyone, turns to stare at me. I hate the attention and I wish they could just mind their fucking business. Ignoring them, I do what I came to do before leaving.

I never got to make friends, because Milly spread the rumor that Iwas a hoe who was sleeping with Gabriel, That was enough for others to judge me and keep

away.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I get to the last department. There are some who give me welcoming smiles, but I don’t pay I them attention. Now that the news was I out, of course they’d try to play nice. Iam I well aware that there are people who will befriend you simply because of what they hope you can do for them.

“Hi, Harper,” one of Milly’s minion, Rebecca says, blocking my way as I was heading to the lift.

I sigh “What do you want Rebecca?” «I was hoping we could be friends,” the red-head tells me innocently.

Was this bitch delusional? I didn’t mean to, but the laugh slips from my lips before I can stop it. “You're joking right?” “Why would I? I mean I tried to stop Milly from humiliating you yesterday. She

I wouldn't listen to me though. That should count, right?” I think back and remember that she-did try to tell Milly something about the company releasing a statement.

I “If that was your way of trying to get into / my good graces, let me just tell you that you failed. We both know you didn’t do it out of the goodness of your heart, so stop with the stupid charade.” Her face changes and the sweet look she had slips. There she is, the bitch I was used to.

“you're being really mean right now, when all I want is to be your friend.” she says through clenched teeth.

I could feel others eyes at my back, but I didn’t give a damn. This bitch right here was starting to piss me off.

“Mean? Mean is you and your friends spreading degrading rumors about me.

[Mean is calling me a slut when we both know who the real sluts are. Mean is the way you've treated me since I started working in this company.” I take a deep breath before continuing.

“I don’t want your friendship nor do I need it. I'm not stupid, Rebecca, we both know the reason why you want to be my friend is because I'm Gabriel’s wife and even if I wasn’t, I wouldn’t want to associate with the likes of you. Now, get the fuck out of my way, I have things to do.” I finish “you're being a bitch.” she says glaring at me.

“Says the bigger bitch,” I reply, just as the elevator door opens.

“Is there a problem here?” a deep voice fills the room.

I look behind Rebecca surprised to find Rowan standing next to the elevator doors.

I Rebecca turns around so quickly she almost falls in the process. “No problem, Mr. Wood.” “Didn’t seem like it to me,” Rowan says in a really deadly tone. He then turns to me and signals for me to come to him.

I / Ido as he says and go to stand next to him.

Rebecca pales, as blood drains from her face.

“I don’t appreciate people calling my sister-in-law names,” his eyebrows are pulled together in a glare. “Especially if it I happens in our very own company. It pisses me off. You’ll do well to remember that Harper is a Wood. You'll fucking stay away from her if she wants you too, and if she ever gives a command, and you don’t obey her, you'll regret it. Dol make myself clear?”
