Chapter 51: Arthur Sandlin Appears

I looked at Mia and gave her a faint smile. "Thanks for being the only one here who hasn't turned on me." We weren't exactly best friends, but Mia was the only colleague who had treated me like a human being. She never made snide remarks or threw judgmental glances my way. That alone meant a lot. Two security guards approached. One grabbed each of my arms, ready to drag me out like a criminal. The humiliation was unbearable. I shot a cold glare at Samuel and yanked my arms free. "You don't have to drag me. I can walk." I snapped, grabbed my bag off the desk, and was about to head toward the door when a sudden buzz ran through the room. "The CEO's here. Oh my god, he's actually here in person." A colleague near the entrance whispered in shock. The CEO? Arthur Sandlin. My heart skipped a beat. The only person that came to mind was him. Why was he here? Was it because of me? Arthur walked in wearing a sleek black suit that fit his tall, lean frame like it had been tailored just for him. H
