Jennifer sat waiting when Jace arrived, her posture straight and her fingers folded neatly atop the polished table. She didn’t let him sit down before lashing out.
“You missed your official introduction meeting today,” she said, her eyes lifting slowly to meet his.
“Do you have any idea what that means for your position as team manager? For your steps toward becoming chairman?”
Jace halted, his shoulders stiff and his jaw clenched.
“It was important,” he replied evenly.
Jennifer’s brows arched.
“More important than your future?” she fired back.
He let out a short, humorless breath.
“It was important to me. And I don’t have to explain myself to you. Nor do I want you having people watching me like Adam does.”
A flicker crossed her eyes, irritation quickly masked by composure.
