Xavian slammed his hands on the conference table, jaw ticking in annoyance.
"What the fuck did you just mean by that, Mr. Holt?"
The middle-aged man Holt averted his gaze, his eyes flickering rapidly. "Listen, Mr. Winslow, it is not that I doubt your work or what your company and you can do for me, but you have been quite absent lately. Your sister has been the one chirping in, and it is not enough. I need the man I'm partnering with right here, not some woman assistant or any of the sort."
"You're saying my sister is incompetent?" he questioned, cocking a brow at him. "That she hasn't been doing a good job?"
Mr. Holt looked into his eyes and quickly averted his gaze. "T-that's not what I'm trying to say, Mr. Winslow."
"Is that what you all think as well?"
The rest of them within the room looked at him and averted their gaze immediately, slightly shaking their heads as if they were on the verge of wetting their pants.
