Resent, Reject, Regret by Aqua Summers

Chapter 702 Meeting Me Isn’t Without Consequences

"Naturally, I'm very aware of whom you're working for. I know he's your boss. So, if you really can't help me, then just send me back home. I won't hold it against you," said Deirdre despite already deciding to coerce Sam by capitalizing on his softr-heartness.

She was sure Brendan would never punish Sam too much, even if he disobeyed his boss a little, which meant she could stand to be more forceful and get what she wanted.

Deirdre cast her eyes down. 'You're not wrong."

He sighed. "Christ. I guess... I guess I could ask Mr. Brighthall to agree, if nothing else. I'm not allowed to make my own decisions, but I can at least suggest something to him.”
