Chapter 35: Trouble II

Sandro was greatly aggrieved, watching the spectacle before him.

How could Ewan tell Athena to kneel and apologize?

Did he forget who she was, and what had happened the last time he had tried upsetting her?

If Athena knelt, then their company was as good as done!

He couldn’t let that happen.

"Ewan, what are you doing? Have you forgotten..."

"Shut up, Sandro! This doesn’t concern you." Ewan declared hotly, folding his arms across his chest.

His ego bruised by Athena’s antics, especially by that smirk that still played on her lips and grated him further, he didn’t care about the past.

After all, hadn’t he offered her ten percent of his company’s shares?

If she was distressed, he would add an extra one percent.

Surely that would pacify her.

The shares of his company were much sought after; people paid to have them, considering their potential!

But that smirk??? It had to be wiped off!

"Athena, kneel and apologize..."

Athena decided Ewan was mentally deranged.

Did he think he could control her now, because they were civil, because he offered her ten percent of shares?

Did he forget that she was the only doctor that can treat his community?

She chuckled, and looked at a pitiful Fiona. "You mentioned that I slapped you?"

Fiona whimpered, lowered her head, and stepped back like Athena was bullying her.

Ewan hated it. He glared at Athena. "Apologize!"

But Athena would never do that.

Instead, with an insane speed, before Ewan could know her intentions, she landed a slap on Fiona’s face; a Fiona who had stupidly lifted her face then, thinking Athena had been about to apologize.
