Tiger Versus Sick Cat

"You didn't have to do that. That was too petty even for you," Tom said with a chuckle as he and Harry headed for the car. 

"I'm surprised you were able to stay so calm. God! I really hate her! You had no idea everything I had in my head to say to her. I had to try my best to hold back because she's our employee," Harry said, and Tom laughed.

"And you weren't even the one that dated her," Tom said in amusement, even though he understood Harry's hatred. He was filled with anger and hatred too, but knowing that he already had everything in place to deal with her was what had helped him to speak calmly.

"My best friend dated her, and that's enough. She made things difficult for both you and Lucy, and that, in turn made things difficult for me. I thought I was going to go crazy last weekend," Harry said, and Tom winced.

"I'm sorry. I know you must have been really stressed," Tom said apologetically.
