Chapter 94



York, of course, didn't have a clue about design, and since I was the only director of the Design Department, with the whole department united behind me, there was no way he could wedge himself in. In the end, he had no choice but to slink away, defeated.

I wasn't sure if he'd run to Merritt to complain, but I knew I wasn't going to back down.

If I did, with those two key departments under his control, Clyde's position would be hanging by a thread.

Just before clocking out, I got a call from Eliana, as fiery and proactive as ever, getting everything arranged for me.

She buzzed with excitement over the phone for a good ten minutes before finally revealing that her cousin, the one working on cancer research, had come back from abroad.

"I just found out he returned yesterday, and I've snagged him for dinner tonight. We're all meeting up!"

Before I could even agree, she sent me the address.
