Dominic didn't yell. He didn't need to.
He slowly turned his towering, muscular frame to face the Director of Finance. The temperature in the ballroom dropped ten degrees.

Gregory physically staggered backward, all the color violently draining from his arrogant face. "What?! Dominic, be reasonable! I am your Director of Finance! I built this quarter's portfolio!"

Norah gasped, looking up in sheer shock. She had suspected Gregory was taking credit for her work, but she had no idea the billionaire CEO had personally investigated it.
