Your Company Not My Life (by Cutie Kitty) novel Chapter 6

Nothing I said would've changed a thing.

"Mr. Cromwell, don't be upset. I'm sure Yara just got a little emotional because she cares," Molly cooed, running a hand down his back like she owned the place.

Then she turned to me, all fake-sweet. "Yara, don't get the wrong idea. I just had a headache, and Mr. Cromwell was helping me relax so I could keep working. Everything we do is for the company—you really don't need to overthink it."

I didn't know the full story, but I could feel it—this whole setup had Molly's fingerprints all over it.

I was about to do the same when Derrick suddenly called out.
