Chapter 462: Kellan slid off his suit jacket and, with an air of distaste, took out a sanitizing spray, misting the black chair with careful precision.

When his eyes lifted again, they were coldly mocking.

Lets make this plain.

Get out.

His tone left no room for arguing.

The message was as blunt as it was final.

Caroles smile faltered, her perfect facade cracking.

Saying nothing, she grabbed her bag, her reddening eyes cast down as she turned on her heel, her four-inch heels tapping sharply as she left.

Ignoring the tension that hung in the room, Allison simply waited for Kellan to finish signing, then stamped the document with a bright red seal.

With that, Ill be on my way, she said, gathering her things to leave.

But Kellan took a step toward her.

And, my father thinks we should catch up, so why not over lunch? As Carole strode in with a lunch box in hand, the curious eyes of employees just outside the door turned their way, already sparking murmurs.
