Zoe opened her mouth and then shut it.
Yeah, he wasn’t asking for that story. It was obvious.
“Then worms his way onto my board and starts trying to undermine me,” Logan growled.
“I can’t believe this,” Zoe said and began pacing. “No. No!”
Logan crossed his arms.
“I’m sorry, Zoe. You’ve been played.I’vebeen fucking played,” Logan said, shaking his head. “We were both played by this man.”

“It’s not that easy to get rid of a board member,” Roger, their lawyer, said.
