CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“It’s none of your damn business!” Jasmine hollered.

Just at this moment, the elevator door opened. Jasmine put a foot forward and prepared to enter.

Joyce’s face darkened as she halted Jasmine. “Hold it right there!”

The other woman instinctively stopped and turned around. “What do you want?”

“What do I want? To settle the score, that’s what!” Joyce sneered while she helped Natalie to the side. “Stay here, Nat.”

Natalie understood her friend’s intent. She grunted and put a hand to the wall to support herself.

The resounding smack had Jasmine momentarily stunned before she brought up a hand to cradle her own face. She then stared with her eyes wide open. “You dare hit me?”

Natalie did not expect Joyce to go in so strongly. The crispness of the resultant sound was telling of how much force she put behind it.

“You betcha. If you dared to grease the floor outside the restroom to trip up Nat, why wouldn’t I dare to hit you.” Joyce snarled. She shook off her own hand as she felt the sting of that blow herself as well.
