Mila’s brows furrowed as she got up from the sofa and walked over to me. “Was Bernard a bad boss

I shook my head quickly. “Oh no, Bernard was a sweetheart. Poor man barely had enough time to have a break. It’s the monster of a Ceo who’s the problem.” I said and lifted the glass to my lips. I sniffed the smoky aroma and took a sip.
