Chapter 7

Effie walked straight to Mitchell's office. Just as she was about to knock, she noticed the door was slightly ajar, leaving a narrow gap.

Through the crack, she caught sight of Suzan curled up in Mitchell's arms, her voice soft and sulky. "Darling, do you love me more, or do you love Effie more?"

Mitchell held her close, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Of course I love you, you little bitch. But we have to be careful at work-Effie's here, too."

"Hmph, you always say that, but you're still so polite to her. You just don't love me enough!" Suzan pouted, her tone laced with grievance and resentment.

Mitchell quickly patted her back, trying to soothe her. "Silly, you're the one I love most. Effie's one of the company's founders and still owns a good chunk of shares. We need her designs for now. But once the time is right, I'll handle her. Trust me, you're the only one in my heart."
