Wendy stood there, frozen, her expression shadowed and unreadable.

By all accounts, she was the first employee Rowena had ever hired.

They'd worked side by side for nearly a year.

Logically—and emotionally-she should have been on Rowena's side.

But she just couldn't do it.

Wendy bit her lip. "Rowena, I'm sorry. I can't keep working for you. I'm quitting." Rowena spun around at the sound of her voice, her face etched with disbelief.
