Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 262

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.

"Wendy, we've been at Seafarer Designs together for a year. You're really quitting over Isadora?"

Wendy's dark eyes met Rowena's, steady and serious.

"It's not about Isadora. I know I'm young, but I have my own sense of right and wrong. I can't work for someone like you."

With that, Wendy turned and walked out.

Almost immediately, the sound of Rowena hurling things around the office- objects shattering, drawers slamming-echoed through the building.
