Joshua clutched his hands at his sides and his jaw got tight. Yes, Claire, you are the one who let Mia work here. But I have to tell you something, I won't let Elvis work here."
When Claire saw this, her eyes got really big with shock and anger. "I never told Mia it was okay! Joshua, she lied to you. I will tell Grandpa everything about your behaviour if you don't let me hire Elvis.
Joshua's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper, and his eyes got darker. "Do you really think you can scare me with Grandfather?" You have no idea what you're getting into, Claire."
Claire stepped closer, her voice calm despite the fear eating at her insides. "I will do whatever it takes to protect my place and the people I trust. If that means going to Grandfather, then so be it."
Joshua's temper rose, and his eyes were red with rage. "You think Grandfather will side with you? You're crazy. This company is mine to run, and I won't have you undermining me at every turn."
