Chapter 13 Heartless Bastard

Chandler’s eyes flashed. “He’s gone out for lunch, so now’s the perfect time for an illicit affair.”

“You are so bold!” Erin was still anxious and kept sneaking glances at the door.

Seeing her not focused on Chandler made him angry. He grabbed her chin with his hand. “You’re very bold to not be paying attention to me!”

Erin softened her tone. “I’m really worried, what if someone comes in? We could both lose our jobs.”

Chandler got up, picked her up, and walked straight toward the designated break room. Erin felt a sense of familiarity when they entered the break room. She thought of the morning she had woken up in that very same break room and turned pale.

“Don’t tell me this is the president’s break room.”

“No shit.”

Her cheeks flushed, and she started to panic. She walked backward and anxiously said, “Don’t come over.”

Chandler walked toward her and said lowly, “You better service me well.”

She wanted to leave, but he was still holding those pictures over her. Half an hour later, she left the president’s office with a red face. On the way back to the office, Erin was so angry that she kicked a wall, but all she gained from that was a hurt leg. She limped back to the office.
