Trade Me for a Schemer? Enjoy Your Fall
Perhaps seeing that Owen still hadn't changed his mind, she said reluctantly, "But Charlotte has been with the company for so long. Fine, let me try to talk her out of it."

Sharp pain shot through me. Without hesitation, I kicked her.
Lila fell to the ground, clutching her stomach and gasping. Owen rushed forward to help her up, his eyes full of concern for her.
