Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 493 I'm Done For

I was already back in my apartment when Ms. Tanness called.

"What happened, Eva? You're fired? How's that possible? I've asked the HR department, but they didn't hear anything about it. Mr. McLennan and I will be back in Erewhon two days later. Just hold on a little longer." Ms. Tanness lowered her voice as if she was worried someone would overhear her.

"Are you sure about that? Are you not going to work in the company anymore?" Ms. Tanness sounded a little anxious.
