Chapter 8

Aveline looked at him. "What if I don't want to do it?"

Desmond smiled. "You can't turn this down."

Aveline rolled her eyes and took the file straight to Lucas's office. Desmond tried to stop her, but he couldn't.

"Let's leave it at that," he said, ending the call.

"Who allowed you to come in?" he asked coldly, his eyes icy.

Aveline slammed the file on his desk. "Did you do this on purpose?"

Lucas glanced at the file and replied coolly, "Isn't this part of your job? What's the problem? If you don't want to do it, you can quit. Plenty of people want this job."

Aveline fumed silently. This jerk was definitely doing this on purpose!
