Of course Cameron told Dawn that she had heard Hazel and Logan together on the phone call.
“We finished,” Logan said.
“How nice,” Dawn said. “Though I hope you realize how unprofessional it is to work outside of the office, especially with one of your subordinates. I imagine you will contain your work from this point forward to the confines of Hatfield Supply.”
With that sharp tone of voice, this was clearly a threat.
Who here was the CEO?
“I determined it was necessary in this case,” Logan said. “As the CEO, I am in a position to make those
calls.”
Dawn lowered her tea. “As a CEO, you need to set a better example for the rest of the staff. As your assistant, Hazel should also be making efforts to keep your reputation intact. I will be speaking with her first thing tomorrow.”
“Leave her out of this,” Logan snapped. Dawn was on a power trip, that much was clear. Logan would have to devise some way to knock her down a peg, but he needed time to think of a clear strategy. He’d been so busy lately, with work and with life, that he hadn’t given much thought or effort to this.
He’d seen Dawn’s ambition from the start. He should have made moves to keep her in check.
Now, she was basically a monster.
“Hazel is a hard worker and joined me at my behest. I will be the only one held responsible for this, am I understood?” Logan pulled out his CEO voice, deep and clear. He wanted no misunderstandings on this.
Hazel was to be working for Dawn from tomorrow forward, and there wasn’t a damn thing Logan could do to stop it. He would, however, do his best to shield her as much as he could.
Dawn, ambitious as she was, couldn’t raise her voice to a CEO, even in front of a friend. Cameron had her own ambitions, Logan suspected, and their friendship would last only so long until one of them needed to use the other to get ahead.
“Yes, Sir,” Dawn said, words clipped.
Logan pretended not to notice her distain. As CEO, many people disliked him. That was just nature of the position. He could carry Dawn’s dislike as well as anyone else’s.
“Now, if the matter is well and truly handled, I would like to head home for the evening.” Logan said. Perhaps he could still salvage his night with Hazel.
“It is handled,” Cameron said. “Have a good evening, Sir.”
Logan nodded and left them.
As he rode down the elevator, his phone chimed with a text. Logan opened it and found a picture sent from Hazel. It was a picture of the champagne he had brought to her house, mostly empty, as well as four juice cups.
The text beneath the image read, The girls thank you for the good champagne!
Ah. So in Logan’s absence, she invited her friends over instead. Likely his presence now would not be welcomed.
Though perhaps he already knew that, with how cold she had been to him on his leaving.
What a waste. He could have had his date, kissed Hazel and enjoyed a home cooked meal. Instead, he rushed into town for a problem that had already been solved before he got here.
If the problem was real at all….
Did he make the right choice tonight? NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Work would always be important to him, but… look at the results. He could have stayed at Hazel’s place and nothing would have changed. The issue still would have been resolved.
Hazel probably knew that. She had said she had talked to the client that afternoon. He should have trusted her or, at the very least, listened to her.
Above everything else, Logan slowly realized, he really needed to apologize to Hazel.
