“I can't believe this!” Sharon was extremely infuriated. “That secretary of yours is horrible, Zachary.”
“Are you okay?” Zachary asked instead of responding to her words.
“I am, but... Why did you push me?” Sharon whined.
“You stepped on her hand.”
Charlotte had already left the office by the time Zachary answered.
“But she's the one who dropped that cloth on my foot,” Sharon insisted, evidently displeased. “That was filthy!”
“And that's why you decided to step on her?” asked Zachary in return.
Sharon froze before explaining reluctantly, “No. I didn't do it on purpose. She shouldn't have placed her hand there—”
“I'm sure your father taught you to be kind to others.” Zachary furrowed his brows. “This is no longer a world where slaves have to serve their masters. We live in an equal society now.”
“But she's just a secretary! Why are you getting so worked up?” Sharon insisted. “Or is there something going on between—”
“She may just be a secretary, but she's still my employee,” Zachary cut her off before giving her a stern reminder. “Remember how you once lost your temper when we were young, and you threw a cup at my cat?”
“You didn't talk to me for three years after that...” Sharon couldn't help but tense up upon recalling the incident and immediately tugged onto his sleeve to apologize. “I'm sorry, Zachary. I won't do it again. Please don't be mad!”
“You should apologize to her instead.” Zachary withdrew his arm.
“You want me to apologize to her?” Sharon's eyes widened in disbelief, but she quickly changed her mind as soon as she noticed Zachary's frigid expression. “Okay, okay. I'll go and tell her I'm sorry. Just don't be mad.”
With that, she quickly left with her handbag.
Zachary gestured at Ben, instructing him to follow the woman.
Charlotte's coworkers were beyond terrified to see blood trickling down her hand ceaselessly, and they immediately brought her a first-aid kit.
