Chapter 36: Confrontation with the Ex

Heather’s POV

“What are you doing in the office so early, Ms. Winters?” Meredith asks with suspicion and derision.

Heather rolls her eyes while she is turned away from Meredith. She came in early to work on tracking the accounts that she had discovered were used in the embezzlement. She felt inspired now that she and Casey are together. The sooner they complete their investigation, the sooner they can be a couple without having to hide.

“I just wanted to work more on the efficiency review. I have been making substantial progress and I like working in the silence of an empty office. It’s peaceful,” Heather responds as honestly as she can.

Heather makes sure to sound as polite and respectful as possible when talking to Meredith. She can’t stand the woman and will be thrilled when she is arrested, but for now, she is the boss.
