One Night With My Alpha Professor by Eve Above Story

Chapter 121 Edwin

"Those humans are all problematic," Leo said, leaning back in his chair with an air of superiority about him. "This is why I don't like to hire them. Nothing but trouble, if you ask me."

I bit back a sharp retort, reminding myself to stay calm. I wanted them both here before I said anything. I wanted to see the looks on both of their faces when they realized that they had been found out. Finally, the door opened with a soft click, and Linda sauntered in. Her usual haughty demeanor was on full display, like a fox in a hen house. The scent of her expensive perfume filled the air, almost cloying in its intensity. She strode into the center of the room, clearly trying not to smirk.

"You wanted to see me, Mr. Brooks?" she asked, her voice sickeningly sweet. Her eyes darted between Leo and me, a flicker of uncertainty crossing her face for the briefest of moments before she quickly masked it with a smile.

"Sit down, Linda," I said, gesturing to the empty chair beside Leg. My voice was level, betraying none of the anger that was simmering just beneath the surface.

As she took her seat, crossing her legs primly, 1 leaned forward and folded my hands on the glass top of my desk.

Leo's smile widened, his eyes glinting with something I could only assume was barely contained malice. "Right. Audrey's... disgraceful behavior."

"Actually," I said, my voice hardening as I fixed him with a steely gaze, "it's about your disgraceful behavior,"

Their faces fell almost simultaneously, the change so dramatic it might have been comical under different circumstances. Linda's confident smile faltered, her perfectly manicured nails digging into the armrests of her chair. Leo's brow furrowed in confusion, that infuriatingly smug expression sliding off his face like melting wax.

"I'm... I'm not sure I understand," Leo said slowly, "Our disgraceful behavior? The girl painted slurs all over her-

"Let me be clear," I interrupted, holding up my hand to stop him. "I know about your arrangement with Mr. Black. I know about your plans to harass and frame Miss Thatcher. Every detail, every manipulated piece of evidence, every 'accident you orchestrated. So let's not waste any time on your meaningless drivel."

Linda's face paled, her usual composure cracking. "Mr. Brooks, I don't know what you're talking about-

"Save it," I cut her off, my patience wearing thin. "I have proof. Emails, financial records, everything. Did you really think you could get away with tormenting a human intern and I wouldn't find out? What did you even seek to gain from this other than embarrassing yourself?"
