Beneath Her Bastard Boss

Chapter 12

Call it shock and madness or even irony. But Blair couldn’t help it. She started laughing

“Stop it Blair, this isn’t funny.” Laura pouted. Clearly upset that Blair was laughing.

“Oh, but it is.” Blair saw Peters come up behind Laura. Blair shook her head at him, wiping the tears from her eyes caused by the laughing. Seeing the movement from Blair, he stayed silent, just standing there behind her cousin, watching her. Blair was sure if Laura made any sudden movements towards her again, Peters would have her pinned to the wall.
