Chapter 75

Chapter Seventy-Five Ryley Blake and I walked off the elevator at precisely ten a.m. Isaac was standing by the front desk, his foot tapping away. When he saw me, he frowned until he looked to my left to see Blake. I told Blake that even though he’s technically not my boss, it could be frowned upon if we walk into the office hand in hand. I didn’t know how to define our relationship and I also wasn’t ready to explain it to others. “Mr. Orion, I didn’t expect to see you!” Isaac greeted him, with a handshake. “I had sbusiness in the city and we flew out together.” He said. “Miss Halliwell, wait in my office for our meeting,” he told me. And I nodded. “Blake, you can wait in my office, if you’d like, I shouldn’t be too long,” I told him. “I’ll show him, go wait in my office,” Issac ordered. Blake’s chest rumbled, as he glared at my boss. “Of course,” I nodded before walking off to Isaac’s office. I thought he was acting weird but maybe he was under stress from another account. The Orion account was one of the firm’s most significant, but I think I’ m doing a good job handling it. I’m even ahead of schedule. I walked into his office and took a seat in front of his desk. I was trying to figure out my finances when Isaac walked into his office, I had this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. Something happened, bad 0.00% 12:02 ||| O <

father gave you a chance and it paid off.” He said. “Then why did you callinto your office instead of just returning my phone calls?” I asked him.. “As you know, there was an opening for a partner,” he started. “And by the look on your face, I didn’t get it,” I finished. He shook his head and sighed. “The position went to Dennis,” he said. “Dennis?” I exclaimed, taken aback by what he just said. “It was a board decision, Ryley.” He explained. “My clients bring in more money for this firm than any other accountant and you passedover to make Dennis partner?” “Ryley, this wasn’t personal,” he said and I scoffed. “It sure feels personal, Isaac. I’ve done everything you have asked and more but you passedover for someone who makes this firm less.” “The board voted,” he shrugged. “And who did you vote for?” I questioned. “The board argued that you were too young and less likely to take on more responsibilities with being a single mom and I agreed with them. It’s not because you aren’t a hard worker, it’s about who will put the 25.85% ||| J 12:02 11 288 Nouchers company first.” He defended. “Then you made a good choice, Mr. Miller. And this will be my resignation. I don’t need to work for a company that doesn’t valueor my dedication to my family.” I told him, standing up from the chair. “Ryley, don’t. Please.” He begged. “Go complain to your board. I’m going to clean out my office. And I’ll be gone in twenty. It’s been a

pleasure.” I left his office with my head held high. If he wantedto put this firm before Channing,,he was delusional. My family will always cfirst, and that’s not a weakness. I walked into my office with Isaac on my heels. I ignored him as I grabbed a box to pack up my belongings. “Ryley, what are you doing?” Blake asked, he was sitting in a chair in front of my desk. “Please, Ryley, can you at least stay to finish off the Orion account?” “Isaac leave, now,” Blake growled. I turned around, collecting my things as they battled it out. I knew my worth and I wasn’t going to change my mind. I heard my office door slam before Blake’s arms wrapped around my waist from behind. He rested his head on my shoulder as he pulledagainst his chest. “I quit, Blake. They pastover for the promotion because I wouldn’t put this firm above my son.” I sighed, resting my arms on top of his. “Then I guess the Orion pack will cancel its contract. And hire you directly.” He said. I turned in his arms so I could look at him. 49.75% < 12:02 Chapter Seventy-Five 233 Voucherg “And the pack would lose money in ending the contract early,” I told him and he shrugged. “Money well spent.” “But then you would be my boss, so I would have to stop sleeping with you,” I purred, pecking his lips. He gripped the back of my neck before I could pull away from him. “That’s a requirement.” He growled. “Do you offer that to all your employees, Alpha Orion,” I giggled, running my hands up his chest. “Only to you, baby,” he purred before he crushed his lips to mine. If we weren’t in my former office, I would rip off his clothes. F*ck, this man hadacting like a h**ny teenager and I couldn’t get enough

of him. Blake pickedup and satdown on top of my desk, pushing himself between my legs. “Blake,” I breathed out, as he kissed my jaw to my neck. “I told him I’d be gone in twenty.” He grumbled before pulling back. “Fine, you pack and I’ll be back, I have a contract to terminate.” He pecked my lips and helpedoff my desk before he left to speak with Isaac. I smirked to myself as I filled the box with my things. The board wasn’t going to be happy and my pity self was relishing in the thought of Isaac having to inform them of how he lost the Orion case.
