"Boss. It is clear that Mr Peter has no intention of signing up with us and only wanted to humiliate you. And now, if he sees your proposal and realizes that it is same as the one that Madam Collins just announced, things will go further south. The man is hell bent on getting revenge on you. I think we should take the file and leave."
Melanie stared at the man as he spoke to the guests, his assistant following him with her file still in hand. She knew Ben was correct. That Peter wanted to use this file to embarrass her and bring her down. But she clenched her jaw," No, Ben. I am not leaving."
"Boss, you heard what he said!" Ben hissed urgently. "He's setting you up. If he opens that file—"
Even as her hand tightened on the glass with enough force to shatter it, she gritted her teeth and answered, "I said no. If I leave now, it looks like I'm running. And I refuse to give Madam Collins or Peter that satisfaction."
