Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 448

So, Tanya wanted to drag me down with her, huh?

Classic. This was the same woman who used her husband's death to climb the ladder, so of course she'd try to use someone else. She wasn't bluffing. I knew she'd do exactly what she said.

I'd have to keep my guard up around her.

I leaned in, locking eyes with her. "Alright, let's see who crashes and burns first."

Then, with a swift kick to her hand, I turned and strode put.

As I reached the door, I couldn't help thinking about the baby she caused to be born early with all her drama, so I said, "Oh, and Tanya? If you've got even a shred of decency left, maybe take a look at the kid you brought into this world. At least let him know who his mom really is."

She froze, and I turned away, leaving without another word.

I headed straight to Lena's break room to wait for her. Ten minutes later, she finally showed up.

"You're still here?" she grinned. "Didn't think you'd actually wait for me."

I gave her a look. "Cut the act. What did your director say?"

Lena shrugged, grabbing a cup and filling it with water. "Nothing major. Just told me to file a report and cooperate with the investigation." She took a sip, then smirked. "So, how'd your little face-off with Tanya go?"

I didn't answer right away, still thinking about Retta's involvement. "Why do you think Tanya's after you, anyway?"
