Erica's tears streaming down her face, raised her hand to slap Evelyn. Evelyn immediately ducked behind Michael. "Mr. Thorn, your fiancée seems to have misunderstood our 'pure' relationship. Please, explain to her. I'll leave you to it!"
With a hidden smirk, Evelyn vanished from the office.
"Michael!" Erica sobbed. "I want her gone! How could you do this?"
"What are you crying about?" Michael replied, walking back to his desk. He was already resistant to her tears. "Nothing happened. We were talking."
"I know she did it on purpose! Michael, please, don't cooperate with her anymore!" Erica followed him, desperate to regain her footing.
"Is there anything else wrong with the contract?" Michael's voice was clipped, his fingers already dancing across his keyboard. He was finished with the drama; as for the "little woman" who had just played him, he'd settle that score later.
"No," Erica replied, trying to regain her poise.
"Then have your assistant take you back."
