" confrontation. "
"WHY THE FUCK are you still here?" I spit out at the sight of Ms. Genova, still in the office.
She turns on her heel at the sound of my voice, an awkward smile on her face.
"Mr. Morelli! You're here. How was the rest of the trip?"
"Doesn't answer my question."
"How did you even get back from that place?" I hear Aurelia's voice speak behind me and I look over my shoulder to see her, standing gorgeously as she throws her hair over her shoulder with a disgusted look.
"I.. Called an uber, of course." She said, trying to flip her hair in the same way but the only thing she flipped is Aurelia's smile.

"That you have a relationship. With Mr. Morelli. Our boss. And you as the head secretary."
She parts her lips to speak but nothing comes out, Ms. Genova scoffs, raising her eyebrow while the other takes a step back.
"Cat got your tongue? Or do you just know I'm telling the truth?"
There's audible gasps from the employees behind us, they peer over their computers to listen in on the conversation. And with my death glare, they look away, minding their own business.
