Clashing with Him

Before Emma Hart could even get her words out, Damien Sterling cut her off abruptly, forcing Emma to swallow her words and look up at him in surprise. Where had all the gentlemanly demeanor he cultivated during his studies in England gone? Was it now so easy for him to rudely interrupt others?

Emma Hart fixed her gaze on Damien Sterling, waiting for whatever he had to say to her. "From tomorrow on, you are not to come to the office anymore."

What? Emma Hart looked at Damien Sterling in astonishment. What had she done now to receive such an order from him?

Damien Sterling was ready to leave after dropping this bombshell, making it clear that it was a decision not up for debate or disagreement from Emma.
