Chapter 67 – The fight at the car park
"What do you want here?" Joanna asked, tears burning in her eyes, though she refused to let them fall. Her voice remained calm despite the pain she was feeling.
Mr. Forest was one of her top clients, and she came here to close this deal, not expecting to see that Mia had double-crossed her.
She needed to accomplish this before the wedding because if that happened, she would be known as Mrs. King, and surely, everyone would want to do business with her, not for her but rather for her title.
Just two weeks to the wedding and Mia did this. Joanna did not know where to start from.
"Big sis, did you forget? You told me this morning to handle this because you were busy," her annoying voice echoed through the office as she faked concern.
Joanna was not amused, but Mia was rather elated. Having two of Joanna’s biggest clients, there was no way for Joanna to meet that target.
The worst part was that arguing before the client would seem unprofessional, so no matter what, she had to stomach the rage boiling inside of her.
"Of course, but I was hoping Mr. Forest would at least do some verifications."
Joanna’s disappointed gaze was pinned on the client who let her down, being as unprofessional as her half-sister.
"Not hearing from him, I thought my help was needed," she forced a smile, biting back the pain cruising through her.
Mr. Forest had an awkward smile on his face. Joanna never saw the signs of his needing something more from her than just business.
