Chapter 46

However, his threat meant nothing to Olivia. She paused her steps and slowly turned around. The sight of his angry face made her chuckle.

“Do as you wish, Mr. Hall! From now on, I‘ll choose when I want to work and what time I‘ll arrive. If you wish to penalize me for being late or playing hooky, go ahead!”
