After what Henry did to her father, how could she stay with anyone with that cursed sumame?
Yet, it brought a spasm of pain to her chest every time she thought of Austyn
She had to leave him.
There was no other way.
They couldn't possibly continue as a married couple.
But feelings were not computer programmes.
They could not be switched on or off with a single keystroke.
Kira bucted her head in Glana's shoulders and cried.
Conflicting emotions tore at her.
She knew what she had to do, but she just couldn't bring herself to face it.
The thought of leaving Austyn pierced her heart.
But the thought of not avenging her father was not something she could ever live with, either.Material © of .
At a loss for what to do, diana could only caress Kita's back and whisper comforting words in her ear. It's okay. You have me. It's going to be okay!
Austyn leaned against the leather headrest and closed his eyes.
He had not slept for almost three days.
His brain was running on fumes.
Fatigue attacked his nerve cells
His temples throbbed with a dull ache
But there was no time for rest.
'Boss, Kaiknocked on the car window,
Austyn fumbled for the window lock without opening his eyes.
Kai lowered his voice when he saw the worn-out look on Austyn's face.
"Boss, I just got a call from Paul Flenderson, the HR manager"
"Hmm,"
'Last night and earlier this morning, four department beads have tendered their resignation."
Austyn opened his eyes,
'The HR department is swamped right now.' Kai checked his phone. "I just got another update from Paul. Employees from the retail subsidiary are resigning en masse. They just handed in their notice. What reason did they give?
Kaiserolled through the email. Transitioning to another career. Lack of promotion opportunities. The usual load of bull."
The assistant pursed his lips. "I called them, all four department heads. Two of them were dodging my calls. One didn't give me any details, just said he's willing to pay salary in lieu of notice."
The head of purchasing had sounded contrite over the phone, but he refused to divulge the true reason for leaving.
"not the finance manager did let something slip. He mentioned Master McCarthy's name."
Austyn sat up straighter,
I've been on the phone with Paul all morning. He's doing some digging. Six of the retail employees who resigned last night showed up at Revency today." 'Liam Cane's company."

"That's right. Kai said. 'The worst part was, they took part of the client list with them. Andrea called me. Two of our long-time clients have already called her, trying to reach you. They asked if the M Group is collaborating with Revency. They both got calls from our ex- employees, who tried to entice them to shift their accounts to Revency."
Austyn drummed a finger on his knee, lost in thought.
This was clearly the work of Henry and La
They must have joined forces to launch this coordinated attack.
Henry wain't involved in the management of the M Group.
In fact, he had nothing to do with the company whatsoever.
But his reputation as Stamford's uncrowned king preceded him.
He called himself a weapons manufactures, but Austyn mew that was just a glorified term for an arms dealer.
