Marie's POV
I didn't want to stop working for Don. I should have been more careful, but how did he even catch me eavesdropping?
And Jace, he couldn't even cover for me a little. Now I'm in trouble. I really need this job, but Don doesn't seem willing to compromise.
I should have known better. Don was ruthless, and begging would never make him show mercy, but it was all I could do.
"Please, just give me another chance." His gaze was piercing, his expression frosty. My words didn't seem to affect him.
"You know what I hate, and you did exactly that. The moment you start lying, you lose your credibility. I can't continue working with you."
His calm words shattered me. I had been loyal, working for him wholeheartedly, and just one lie and he was letting me go?
Tears well
