Chapter 27: You chose your career over me.
Inside Denis’s office...
Denis dialed a number and pressed the phone tightly against his ear. "Listen up," he ordered. His voice was grave, filled with quiet authority. "Check the surveillance footage and see if someone tampered with Anne’s laptop last night."
He still found it hard to believe that anyone would dare to access her laptop and delete an important file. But at the same time, he couldn’t ignore the possibility.
He had already made one mistake—dismissing Anne when she had told him about being in danger that night. And later, he learned the truth. Billy had tried to kidnap her.
He wouldn’t make the same mistake of doubting her. Determination flashed in his sharp eyes. If someone had indeed tried to slander Anne, they would pay the price.
Just then, the office door creaked open.
Denis turned his head slightly, his gaze flickering toward the entrance.
Tania.
He barely spared her a glance before returning his focus to the call. "Do it fast," he commanded. "I need the results immediately."
He ended the call, slipping his phone into the pocket of his coat before striding toward his chair.
Tania’s voice rang out, laced with irritation. "Why are you still giving her a chance?" She stormed toward him. "She ignored your orders. She didn’t even finish her job. This is outrageous. You should fire her immediately."
