Chapter 12: Counter Offer

Liana

I am in a state of shock as I walk out of Silver Enterprise. This has not gone as I planned. I did not expect this in my wildest dreams. Honestly, I have not even thought of such a proposal. I was mentally preparing myself for so many arguments, but this was not one of them.

Blindly, I walk into the first coffee shop I pass, and I take a seat. My legs do not want to work anymore. Neither does my brain. I order an iced coffee from the waiter and stare out of the window at the people passing by.

I hate to admit it, but I am hurt and offended that Axel has such a low opinion of me as a person. But I only have myself to blame. If I did not behave so scandalously, he would not have propositioned me.

But more than that, I was rocked to my core when he told me he has no use for my skills. Is that how people see me? Is that why I cannot get any form of employment? Because my skills are minuscule and useless.
