“Oh, I…” She cleared her throat. “I didn’t realize you’d be here.”
“I don’t see why I wouldn’t be.” I set down the book. “There are a shit ton of fires to put out. All thanks to you.”
“I owe you an apology.”
“You can keep it.”
“I was acting out of emotion,” she said. “I didn’t think they would take things this far.”
“No, you knew they would.” I clenched my jaw. “You wanted to hurt her, and you did. You wanted to destroy her alone, but you destroyed everything instead.”
“I thought you liked me.”
“I tolerated you,” I said. “As a ‘barely there’ co-CEO and colleague.”
“I can put out another statement if you like. I can fix this.”
“You’ve done more than enough. Be sure to grab whatever you need from your office on your way out.”
“Wait.” Her face paled. “You were serious about me resigning from the company I made successful?”
“No, Chloe made it successful,” I said. “You were using her the entire time. That’s neither here or there, though. You have until this evening to sign the letter I wrote for you.” I glared at her. “Or else.”
“Or else what?”
“I’ll give the press a very good reason to harass you, so you can get a taste of how you fucked with Chloe.”
“Fine.” She sucked in a breath and grabbed her binder. “If that’s how it has to be.”
“It is.”
She left the room without another word, and I still sent letters to the press about Hazel anyway.
I didn’t owe her anything.
I owed Chloe.
