Chapter 1.2

She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and smirk plastered on her face.

Walking up to him she said in a ruthless tone as she took off her glasses, "I do not care if your forefathers worked in this company but when you decided to steal from me you made a deadly decision. I pity you though, I saw great opportunities for you, but you just tarnished your name.
