As soon as the man finished speaking, everyone at the table laughed and began chiming in with their own fawning words, all starting to flatter Mika Summers.
The compliments drifted from her work to her looks, and then from her looks to her connection with Mr. Kent.
In their eyes, they could never accept being outranked by a young woman like Mika Summers.
But she was the woman Mr. Kent favored, and she would be their new boss. Naturally, they had to offer a few compliments to get on her good side.
What they didn't know, however, was that Mika absolutely loathed it when all her hard work over the past two years was chalked up to a relationship...
An unreadable smile flickered in Silas Kent's eyes as he raised his wine glass to Mika. Snapping back to reality, she forced a smile, nodded, and leaned in close to whisper in his ear, "I'm just going to the restroom."
"Mm."
Mika grabbed her clutch from the table, stood up, and walked straight out of the room.
