Travis did not want to argue with her. He replied softly, “I’m still working at the company. Is there something you need?”

“Travis Hardy, what kind of motherfucking bullshit are you talking about!” Amber cursed loudly. “I already asked your other colleagues, and they said you left an hour ago!”

“I just didn’t want you to misunderstand! Your emotions have been so unstable lately. If you get too worked up and drive yourself crazy, I’ll be the one to suffer!” he said softly.
