"Look at me when I’m talking to you! Did you forget who I am?" Charlotte’s voice rang through the office as she glared down at Alina.
Alina clenched her fists tightly at her sides. Her cheek still stung from the slap, but she didn’t move or say a word. Deep down, she wanted to slap Charlotte back. The anger boiling inside her was hard to ignore but she held herself back. This was her first day at work. She couldn’t afford to mess things up, no matter how badly she wanted to defend herself.
Charlotte noticed the way Alina’s body tensed, but she didn’t care. Instead, she smirked, feeling more powerful.
Then she raised her hand again, clearly ready to strike Alina a second time.
But before she could bring it down...
"What are you doing?!," Aiden’s voice came from the entrance.
Cha
