Lisa finally pieced together the way Connor had acted last night. It was nothing like she had imagined. Connor had always been distant, with a sprinkle of disdain. She felt it, but chose to overlook it, clinging to any tiny sign that might bring her closer to him. Why? Because she was head over heels for him. But why on earth did he have to treat her like that? Teaming up with Chloe to make a fool of her? The thought made her seethe.

She stormed out of the office, ready to leave it all behind. But as luck would have it, the HR manager was waiting by the elevator.

"Ms. Chloe..."

Lisa was seeing red, "Get out of my way!"

"Ms. Chloe, I can step aside, but you're expected to start working now. Whether you start by greeting guests or cleaning the bathrooms is up to you, since you're the team leader."

Lisa laughed, more out of frustration than humor, "I quit! Do you really think you can afford someone like me to greet your guests?"

"So, you're resigning, Ms. Chloe?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Lisa tossed her bag aside and made for the door. But Martin, ever the smiling Buddha, blocked her path again. "Well then, Ms. Chloe, please transfer the ten million dollars breach of contract fee to the company account, and you can go." Lisa's jaw nearly dropped in disbelief, "Ten million dollars?
