Chapter 144 - Medical Evidence and Vindication
Liam's POV
I arrived at the office before dawn, desperate to speak with Hazel. My plan was simple: explain everything, beg for forgiveness, and somehow repair the damage I had caused over the past few days. But Damian crushed those hopes the moment he spotted me in the reception area.
"Get to your office. She's not coming in today. I gave her time off because she needs it and deserves it. And I promised the team you wouldn't harass her today," Damian stated firmly.
"Damn it, Damian!" I snapped like an angry child. "Let's grab some coffee."
In the break room, Fiona, Owen, and Stella were huddled together, their whispered conversation dying the instant we appeared. After some awkward small talk, Damian, Owen, and I retreated to my office.
"Alright, Owen, what aren't you telling me?" I confronted him directly.
"I have no idea what you mean," Owen responded, avoiding eye contact.
