"Elinor. Stay," he ordered like I was some kind of lap dog that would bid his every whim.
I looked back at him. He held my gaze in a challenging stare. As if he was waiting for me to disobey him so that he could attack me. Damn him.
"Do you have anything else to say?" I held my chin higher. I heard him sigh. He looked around and when he saw that no one was around, he walked closer. I took a step back instinctively.
"I thought you were well prepared for this?" he heatedly asked.
"That's what I thought too," I hissed bitterly. He sighed again. As if he was the one humiliated in front of a whole boardroom. I wanted to slap him. How dare he act like that when he was the first one to humiliate me?
God Eli, stop being dramatic. The guy was just doing his job! My inner voice screamed at me.
