Chapter 185
Did Alicia think she was so above it all that I was going to back off because of Jonathan?
I couldn’t care less about Jonathan. So, why would I bother with Alicia?
“And what right do you have to speak to me here?”
I jabbed a finger at her nose. “This is between Jonathan and me! Are you going to leave or not? If not, I’ll beat you up!”
“How dare you? Are you crazy, Elise?”
I raised my fist, ready to charge forward. Alicia fled in a panic while stealing glances at Jonathan as if expecting him to come to her rescue. “Jonathan…”
“Shouting his name won’t help you! Stop running if you’ve got the guts!”
I lost it. I didn’t care what anyone else thought, let alone care about how Jonathan saw me. All I knew was that I wanted this situation resolved.
“Alicia, are you leaving or not?”
Alicia finally left. I slammed the door shut with a resounding bang.
It was only after her departure that I turned around to look at the man behind me.
I was expecting to be met with his anger and a demand to know why I’d driven Alicia out. Surely he would want to be informed of the reason I was being so rude to his precious darling. But to my surprise, I found a faint trace of amusement in his eyes.
“What’s so funny?” My anger boiled over. I marched up to him and shoved him. “You think I don’t know what’s going on in that head of yours, Jonathan? If you want to fight me on this, know that I’m not a pushover. I won’t let you get away with this!”
Jonathan looked a little helpless. “You’re the one who chose to go against me.”
“When did I ever go against you? I started my company far away from you. It’s you who’s making my life difficult!”
Jonathan said nothing and sat back down. “I told you, Elise. I never agreed to your resignation.”
“So what? I’m not allowed to start my own company?”
“You can. If you wanted to start a company, you could’ve said the word, and I’d help you.”
