Ignoring him, Raegan continued, prompting Bryce to lunge for her player.
Raegan took the player near her chest and wrapped her arms protectively over her chest, stating evenly, âTry that again, and Iâll accuse you of harassment.

What was the implication of that look she gave him? Surely his attractiveness wasnât in question?

In essence, she was resolved to deny Bryce any opportunity to make her lose this job.
Bryce, infuriated, retorted, âWho are you calling a child? Do you dare toâ¦â
As Raegan turned away, her indifferent expression seemed to echo, âIs it not you who is harassing me?â
Bryce, dumbfounded, met an opponent he couldnât best for the first time.
âYou!â he stuttered.
Finally, he managed to blurt out, âYouâre shameless.
