Chapter 13: He ate it

Brielle choked more, tears streaming down her face. Realization hit Candy, and she snapped back to her senses. She let go of Brielle, her eyes widening as she realized she had let her anger take over.

Brielle knelt on the floor, coughing out the cup and saliva. Her throat burned from the pain inflicted by the force. She had thought she was going to die.

Candy's gaze shifted to the other workers. They were all staring at her in awe.

This was the first time someone stood up to Brielle.

Brielle stood up, her face contorted with anger. She faced Candy and wanted to yell, but one of the employees greeted the man who had just stepped in.

"Good morning, Mr. President," the others chorused.

"Mr... P... President," Brielle quickly bowed her head.

"What happened?" Diego directed the question to Candy. She shifted her gaze to Diego. Brielle's hands were sweaty; she should do something.

"Mr. President, I can explain what..." Brielle began to speak, but his cold voice cut her off.
