Chapter 47

LISA POV

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Karliah asked softly while staring at me.

I was stunned to hear this revelation.

"No."

"Anita's company is good and trustworthy. I think you should consider accepting her offer, Karliah. This might be life-changing for you."

She nodded quietly.

"I'll think about it, Lisa."

She placed some files on my desk.

"I wanted to give you these, but I guess I was interrupting you and Anita."

I cocked a brow at her.

"You sound jealous."

She frowned at me, crossing her arms over her chest.

"And what makes you think that I'm jealous?"

"Why would I even be jealous of Anita?"

I raised my hands up in defense.

"You don't need to get all defensive, Karliah. I was only joking with you, and since you're here for the review, you should sit down."

She sighed softly as she made herself comfortable.

"That so-called joke of yours wasn't funny at all."

"Sorry, I won't be repeating it. So back to work?"

"Yeah, let's begin."
