Mr. Dave was stunned on the spot.
"Didn't I just state the obvious? Your relationship with President Silverman is well-known throughout the Silverman Group and Bane Corporation!" Mr. Dave yelled with a hoarse voice.
His face was flushed and his neck was thick with anger.
Rosalynn looked at him.
"Calm down, buddy. I don't want anything happen to you." Rosalynn smirked. "I didn't quite catch what you meant just now. Care to explain?"
Mr. Dave's face turned red with shame. A wave of humiliation washed over him.
"You know what I'm talking about!" Mr. Dave said, trying to drop the subject. "Anyway, President Silverman..."
"I really don't. That's why I asked," Rosalynn cut him off without backing down.
"You..." Mr. Dave pointed at Rosalynn, trembling with anger.
He felt that Rosalynn was provoking him.
Surrounded by so many judging eyes, Mr. Dave slammed the table: "You got your position by sleeping your way to the top!"
There was an uproar around them. Wayne's face turned even colder.
"Oh, well," Rosalynn said with a smile, waving her phone at Mr. Dave. "I recorded everything you've just said. You will be hearing from my lawyer pretty soon."
"Lawyer?" someone from the Silverman Group chimed in. "Secretary Tesdal, isn't that a bit too much?"
"You're not the one being insulted here. You don't get to decide if that's too much or not," Rosalynn put down her phone and said.
"President Silverman!" Mr. Dave looked at Wayne.
"Enough!" Wayne shouted. "Since you all heard about what happened yesterday afternoon, you all knew of Eric's praise for Secretary Tesdal, would you?"
The room went silent. How could they not know?
There was a chorus of accusations, but Rosalynn acted as if she didn't hear them.
Three or four people who had been quiet did cast approving glances at Rosalynn, though.
The morning meeting ended with arguments.
Wayne and Rosalynn went back to his office.
"Are you mad?" Wayne asked.
Rosalynn kept her head down, her fingers flying across her phone screen. She coldly replied, "No."
Wayne leaned in closer. He saw Rosalynn chatting with a lawyer. Well, it seemed like she wasn't joking about suing.
Two days later, Rosalynn was preparing meeting materials in her office when a call from an unfamiliar number came in.
She glanced at it and hung up. Twice the caller tried, and twice Rosalynn hung up.
