Chapter 4 - The Corner Office Cruelty
The glass doors of Vance-Burcham Logistics swung open as Jill stepped into the luxurious marble lobby. The air smelled of expensive perfume and polished oak.
Jill took the elevator up to the executive floor. As the doors slid open, she heard laughing voices coming from the main glass conference room at the end of the hallway.
Through the clear glass, Jill saw Richard standing beside a stunning woman in a designer red suit—Lacey Burcham.
Richard had his arm wrapped tightly around Lacey’s waist, whispering something into her ear that made her laugh brightly. On Lacey’s left hand burned a massive three-carat diamond ring.
"Richard," Jill's voice echoed quietly as she pushed the conference room door open.
The laughter stopped instantly. Richard turned around, his smile vanishing as his eyes landed on Jill's faded cardigan and worn shoes.
"Jill?" Richard snapped, his face flushing with immediate annoyance and embarrassment. "What on earth are you doing here? I told you never to show up at my workplace!"
