My first day back at Group Miller was incredibly hectic, with Samantha’s fight with Celeste, Henry showing up furious because Sam was attacked, and rumors spreading throughout the company that I was sleeping, with the boss to get special treatment.

Of course, Celeste’s dismissal was a relief for me. I couldn’t have worked with her, knowing she’d likely cause more trouble for me soon enough. The atmosphere on the executive floor was great; the tension had dissipated since Celeste’s firing, and there was so much work that Alexander and I didn’t even have time for our usual teasing.

It was Friday when, returning from lunch with Sam, Johnson entered the elevator with us. I felt my body tense up immediately. The doors closed, and the elevator started going up. Suddenly, Johnson turned to me and stepped closer than necessary.

“You’re feeling pretty secure now that you’ve got Alexander wrapped around your finger, aren’t you?”

“That’s really none of your business, sir,” I replied quietly, trying to stay calm.

“Oh, but it is my business, you little gold–digger,” Johnson spat out with hatred. “You see, Alexander belongs to my daughter, and you won’t ruin my little girl’s plans.”

“Sir, you need to back away from her. You’re invading her personal space and crossing lines here,” Samantha tried to intervene.

“Look, the other tramp can speak too!” Johnson sneered. “Let me tell you both something – you’ll be kicked out of this company soon enough, so you better start looking for another job. Maybe go back to whatever street corner you came from.”

“You will show us some respect!” I said, starting to lose my cool.

“Respect…” Johnson let out a mocking laugh. “He’ll use you and dump you. And your friend here will be gone with you when he gets bored. Won’t take long either. By the way, did you know he slept with my daughter? Yeah. He’ll end up with her, one way or another.”

I felt my throat tighten. I’d heard this story before, but hearing it again made me nauseous.

“Enough! I’m calling security. You have no right to harass us and talk to us like this,” Samantha said, reaching for her phone.

“Just a warning, Catherine. It’s more dignified to leave than to get kicked out again,” Johnson said. The elevator doors opened, and he stepped out, but before doors closed, he threw one last bit of poison: “My daughter says he’s quite the passionate lover!”

The doors closed, and I felt my legs give way. Samantha held me up as I hugged my friend, tears rolling down my face. When the elevator doors opened again on the executive floor, I tried to compose myself, but as we stepped out, we ran into Patrick, Henry, and Alexander sitting in the reception area talking.

“My angel, what happened?” Alexander asked worriedly, but I couldn’t respond.

“Johnson happened, Alexander,” Samantha answered for me. “He cornered us in the elevator. Between calling us whores and telling us to go back to the brothel, he also threw in Cat’s face that you slept with his daugh. .nd that, in her words, you’re a very passionate man.” Samantha was furious and didn’t hide it.

“Son of a bitch!” Alexander was radiating anger. “My angel, you know none of that is true, you know I love you and the only reason I haven’t fired that creep yet is because can’t take my eyes off him.”

“The truth is you did sleep with her, Alexander.” I said, moving away from him and heading to my office. Samantha followed me.

Alexander, that son of a bitch won’t keep insulting my woman! And neither Catherine, if you don’t put a stop to this, I will!” I heard Henry say furiously.

“I’ll handle it, Henry,” I heard Alexander assure.

The rest of the day passed in a haze. I felt upset and discouraged. Samantha tried to convince me that this was exactly what Johnson wanted, to affect me, and I was allowing it. She was right, but I couldn’t help it. At the end of the day, Alexander called us to his office.

“Ladies, this is Dennis. He’s from the security team and will be stationed at the elevator door. Whenever you leave the floor, he’ll accompany you in the elevator and prevent others from bothering you,” Alexander informed us.

“Alexander, I’m going to feel watched,” I said, finding it strange.

“It’s for you to feel protected,” he countered.

“But it’s weird, Alexander,” Samantha backed me up.

“Sam, Henry demanded I take action. You know I can’t get rid of Johnson right now. And I don’t want him approaching Catherine and poisoning her mind. And I also don’t want him insulting you. Look at how she is? I can’t stand seeing her like this.”
