Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bruised Beyond Recognition 

Thane’s POV

What the actual fuck?!

Standing in my lobby, I'm stunned to find my staff gossiping about nonstop like they're being paid to do that.

“I…”

I hold my words back, just watching them as they chant and pass their phones around as they continue whispering.

This is new…

Better still, it's unbelievable.

“Let me have it.”

I say to Rufus, taking my briefcase from his hand and dismissing him. It's not yet time to bust their cover.

Dipping my hand in my pocket and giving them the time to feel themselves, I stroll down the lobby, the soles of my shoes clinking on the tiled floor.

“All of you here, meet the manager and get your resignation letter.”

“Jeez!... Oh, my god!... Sir!...”

All four of them gasps, turning in shock to see me in flesh and blood.

“Sir…”

“Don't you dare come close.”

I stop them from apologizing or coming close to me.

Looking at the receptionist, I say to her firmly.

“Dial the manager and have him come to the office.”
