Chapter 2700 The two secretaries exchanged uneasy glances.
They silently prayed that Myra wouldnt badmouth them in front of Tilda.
But they hadnt said too much, had they? They decided it would be wise to tread carefully around Myra from now on.
In the CEOs Office, Tilda stared down at her hand, still enveloped in Lyndons grip.

Lyndon slowly released her hand, setting her bag on the polished oak table. Was that all an act to you? he asked with raised eyebrow.
