The Billionaire’s Regretful Obsession – Victoria Hale

Chapter 10 An Apology That Earned a Slap "Jean, you actually lied to my face? It seems you don't want this job anymore." Gilbert's expression darkened as if he'd been publicly shamed. +5 Free Coins Wendy softened her voice. "Gilbert, it's just some clothes. Don't make your employees resent you over something so small. Everyone knows how much Jean has contributed to the company. Not like some people who never show any understanding and only think of themselves." As if Sherry was the unreasonable one.

"Are you insane?" Sherry's single question wiped the smirks off their faces. "Why would I care if you embezzle from this company? It's not mine. I'm asking why you touched my couture. Gilbert gave those to me. Who gave you permission to lay a hand on my things?" The crowd now stared at Jean like she was some jealous madwoman.
