Stephen’s face clouded over. His charm had never been called into question, and the sting of humiliation made his tone sharp and cutting

“Oh, cut the act, Riley! You think! don’t know how you got your job? Your slept your way up, same as every other girl like you, he sheered.

He dragged his eyes up and down her, dripping with contempt. “Sure, you’re gorgeous. But pretty wornen always come with risk. Who knows what kind of baggage you’re dragging around.”

He paused for effect, letting the silence linger. Then his face took on a smug took, as if he were doing her a favor. “But if you behave yourself and keep our little arrangement quiet, I might be willing to make an exception and take y

you on.”

He reached his filthy hand toward her face.

Riley had seen it coming. The second his hand moved, she grabbed the full glass of wine in front of her and threw it straight in his face without a flicker of hesitation.

Stephen took the splash full-on and froze, stunned that she’d actually done it.

He’d kept quiet when Sebastian splashed wine on him. He was too cowed by his aura to fight back. Yet Riley-a social climber he’d thought easy to handle–had just humiliated him. His pride was badly wounded.

“Riley! Don’t push your luck! You’re in no position to be picky!” He slammed the table and shot to his feet, face contorted with rage. “Do you really think someone like you has better options? My interest in you is the best offer you’ll ever get. Walk out that door- who else would take you?!”

She’d worked long enough to deal with all sorts of difficult people. But she’d never met a man so pathetic, yet so full of himself. This was more than harassment. He was clearly taking her for a fool.

She was about to give him a taste of something even colder when the door slammed open with a violent kick.

A heavyset woman dressed in gaudy clothes stormed in, her face twisted with fury. Sandra Baker went straight for Stephen, swinging her purse like a weapon and raining blows down on him.

“Stephen, you worthless piece of trash!” she screamed. “Our kid is sick, and you’re out here at Seavoir Bistro chasing women?! Do you even know what kind of shape the company’s in right now?!”

Stephen practically jumped out of his skin. He covered his head and let out a shrieking wail, trying to dodge the blows while still

Riley grabbed her bag quickly and moved clear of the chaos. She stayed well away from the couple’s drama playing out before her.

The whole situation had taken such an absurd turn that she almost wanted to laugh.

Stephen ducked another swing and caught sight of Riley standing safely off to the side. His eyes darted, and he pulled the same move he always pulled, pointing straight at Riley to redirect his wife’s fury.

“Honey, you’ve got it all wrong! This woman set the whole thing up! She asked me here under the pretense of discussing the project! I haven’t done a single thing wrong!” he shouted.
