No Memory No Mercy novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

Gabrielle deliberately raised her voice so the entire secretarial department could hear her. 

I saw Alicia’s face twist with embarrassment as she stomped toward us in her heels. 

Before she could reach the office, Gabrielle quickly slammed the door shut and leaned against it, flashing me a mischievous grin.
