“Jessie Walker!” Rory called.
Jessie realized that she shouldn’t have told Rory about Becky having been in love with him for more than ten years.
So she left before she could do any more damage.
Rory reached out to stop her, but it was late.
“Lowell, stop her!” Rory ordered his assistant.
Lowell, who was standing at the door, chased after Jessie at Rory’s furious shout.
“Miss Walker, please wait a moment. Mr. Casper has something to say.”
But before Lowell could finish talking, Jessie kicked him away and rushed into the elevator.
Lowell failed to catch up with her, and as the elevator doors closed shut, Jessie breathed a sigh of relief.
But it didn’t last long. When she realized what she had done, Jessie grabbed her hair in frustration and slapped herself twice.
What had she done? Why couldn’t she hold her tongue?
Lowell hadn’t expected Jessie to kick and knock him down. And by the time he got back to his feet, the elevator doors had closed.
Rory emerged from the office, his expression clouded.
Lowell was nervous. “I failed to stop her, Mr. Casper.”
Rory had seen Jessie kick Lowell. He looked at the people who had gathered around and barked out, “Is it funny to you?”
The senior executives who had been in Rory’s office when Jessie had barged in and shouted at Rory were still stunned.
