Chapter 58: Notification

"Now that the room is empty. Ms. Adams. I got an email notification that an event was added to March 21st but then got deleted." Adalee kept her expression very stoic.

Carter choked and coughed at her words, hitting his knee on the underside of the desk with a loud thud. He hissed in pain and reached under the desk to rub his knee as Ariana paled.

"Please keep your personal life separated from work, Ms. Adams. Some of us don't wish to see it. I'm sure Mr. Anderson doesn't want to know what his administrator is up to in her personal life." Adalee peered at her with a sigh, as Carter choked again and adjusted his shirt.

"Yes, Adalee. It won't happen again, I promise." Ariana swallowed hard as her cheeks gained more color than they normally did.

Carter cleared his throat to say something, but Ariana looked at him desperately for him not to say anything at all. Ariana knew it would only make it worse.
