Billionaire’s

Seated in her car, Sandra’s heart pounded heavily, the adrenaline from the confrontation still coursing through her veint

The fury and humiliation from Evelyn’s words seared her mind. Sandra’s thoughts were erratic, tangled beteren rage and disbelief

Knowing that Michard was most likely going to hear what had happened from his aunt, Sandra contemplated going to Michael’s offer. However, when she remembered that they had agreed in limit physical meetings to avoid raising suspicion, she decided to call him after she put back to her.

That was safer. There, she could think clearly without the emotions of the moment clouding her judgment.

Sandra gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down. She reminded herself that she needed to stick to the plan. They couldn’t afford to be reckless now, not when things were at such a crucial point.

Taking a deep breath, she started her car and returned to her office. The drive back was a blur of angry thoughts, and her mind was so comumed by her encounter with Evelyn that she barely paid attention to what was going on around her.

How could things spinal out of control so quickly? She had Derek right where she wanted him, or to she thought, and then Evelyn showed up. trying to throw a wrench in her plan.

By the time Sandra reached the company, her knackles were stiff from gripping the steering

As she approached her office, she tried to think about how best to explain the situation to Michael, Even though she genuinely wanted Derek for henell now, she knew she still needed Michael to achieve that.

Sandra froge when she pushed the door to her office open. And her heart skipped a heat when she saw that Michael was already there, seated in her chair, his eyes dark with barely restrained anger.

He was taken aback when his aunt phoned him earlier and asked him to calm Sandra down so that she wouldn’t be too upset about what Evelyn had done. He was curious about the situation, and that’s when she informed him about receiving Sandra’s distress phone call and her subsequent visit to the hotel.

He had wanted to call her, but had decided that he didn’t want a repeat of the nonchalance she had displayed over the phone during the weekend. hence he was in her office.

Something about the way he was staring at her, scared her. The door clicked shut behind her, but neither of them spoke at first

What the hell is going on, Sandra?” Michael’s voice was low but filled with simmering rage. His piercing gaze locked onto hers, demanding

That’s not what I’m asking Michael interrupted, his voice rising slightly. “What are you up to! Why haven’t you been carrying me along? You’ve been acting recklessly, Sandra, making moves without consulting me.

“No.” Sandra muttered. “At her office earlier when I went to confront her.”

Michael’s patience snapped. “You went to her office? Are you out of your mind?” He strode toward her, the tension in his movements apparent. “What is wrong with you? Do you even think before you act? Evelyn could have recorded the entire conversation! She’s smarter than you give her

credit for.”

Sandra stiffened, refusing to back down. “I didn’t say anything that could be used against me. I only told her to stay away from Derek. That’s all.”

Michael exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples as if trying to suppress a building headache. “Sandra, is this still about our plan, or is this about you?” His voice was quieter now but no less cutting.

“Why are you asking me that sort of question?” Sandra asked with a scow!

“Because I want to know. I noticed your behavior after your date with Derek. Tell me right now, are we still on the same page? Because you’re not acting like you care about our plan anymore.”

Her chest tightened at his accusation. T’m sticking to the plan!” she insisted, her voice rising defensively. “I just don’t want Evelyn ruining everything for us. She’s trying to sabotage me, and if I don’t stop her, she’ll get Derek, and everything we are working for will be gone.”

Michael stared at her for a long moment, his eyes searching hers. Then he sighed deeply, a look of cold disappointment settling on his face. “Tell me exactly all you talked about with Evelyn,” he ordered.

Sandra went on to tell him all she could remember that Evelyn had said, and when she was done, he sighed deeply.

“Sandra, you need to stop acting on impulse. You’re making mistakes that could cost us everything. From now on, you don’t make a move without informing me first. No more surprises.” The finality in his voice left no room for argument.

“Fine. I’ve heard you,” she said with resignation.

Michael continued. “If you take one more reckless step without consulting me, I won’t take it lightly. Do you understand?”

Sandra swallowed hard, her pride warring with the fear of losing Michael’s support. “I understand. I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Without another word, Michael stormed out of her office, the door slamming shut behind him with a force that made Sandra flinch. She stood there, rooted to the spot, her mind spinning with different emotions- anger, fear, and frustration

But one thing remained clear in her mind: she couldn’t afford to lose. Not to anyone. And most especially not to Evelyn.
