Chapter 23: Dedication To Your Pay-Check

Noah's POV:

She must be insane! In what world would I sabotage my own team? She's not moving though. Eden Winters is ridiculously stubborn and she's showing no signs of backing down. How can she even keep a straight face while making such utterly absurd accusations?

"It doesn't make sense," she says. "Your problems with Team Two pre-date my arrival at the company. It's far more logical that you or someone else in the department are culpable."

"You're delusional," I bite out angrily. "Why would I sabotage myself?"

"Dunno," she says, shrugging her shoulders again. "I didn't say you did, only that you could have."

I open my mouth to respond but she's too quick.

"You tried to fire me without any evidence, just an assumption. Based on your logic, you should be fired too."

"But you're not fired," I retort, "so you're splitting hairs."

"Only because I actually know my employment rights," she comes back. "You wanted to fire me."

"This is pointless. You're wasting my time."

"True," she agrees.
