The Unauthorized Tour
For the next two hours, Catherine gave the most unapproved tour in company history.
She led Robert through every department, interpreting conversations and introducing him to employees who had no idea they were chatting with the CEO’s father. His pride was unmistakable.
Meanwhile, her phone buzzed nonstop. Messages from Margaret: Where are you? Get back NOW! You’re in serious trouble!
But Catherine ignored them. Watching Robert’s joy made it impossible to walk away.
Until she glanced up—and saw Michael Hartwell, standing on the mezzanine above, half-hidden behind a pillar. He was watching them. Watching his father. Watching her.
Her blood ran cold. She was definitely getting fired.
