[Margaret's Perspective]
Elliot looked me straight in the eye with a sad expression and said, "She won't do anything like that again. Miss Margaret, I understand your anger, but she's the one who's leaving now. She really worked hard to get to her current position. Because of you, everything will be in vain."
Because of me? I thought.
Is all this still my fault?
Did I let her use me, plot against me, and abuse me during training?
This is the biggest joke in the world.
"No matter what you say, it's impossible for me to persuade Donald," I said firmly.
I stood up and made a gesture of dismissal. "If there's nothing else, please leave."
Elliot lowered his eyes but did not step back.
The air seemed to have frozen at this moment.
Elliot said in a low voice, "What exactly will it take for you to do this? I'm willing to do it for you. Anything."
