I felt glee as we scurried out of the room and headed back toward Jacob’s office. There would be a very different meeting happening in a few minutes. One where I would witness Henrik Payne grovel for his job.

I needed that today.

“What are you going to do?” Edgar stared at Jacob as he sat at his desk, his head in his hands.

“Obviously, they need to be fired. I mean, you saw them. That can’t happen at my company. I don’t care how much in love they may be. This is during office hours, and that was my office furniture they were using for their sex-den.”

Edgar cleared his throat and glanced my way.

That was something else Edgar and I needed to discuss—no sex at the office. I don’t care how horny I get. He needed to be strong enough to turn me down.

There was a knock on Jacob’s door.

“Come in,” Jacob announced.

The door opened and Payne’s head appeared. I folded my arms and stood on the side of Jacob’s desk savoring every minute.

“Please, Henrik, come and have a seat.”

Despite what happened, Henrik appeared confident and maybe even relaxed as he sat. Like he had the secret to life figured out. Morgana must be really good at sex.

“Mr. Mimir, let me explain. Ms. Drake tricked me. She knew I had an idea to help save the company with the distribution problem. She knew you would be coming by the office for the meeting. She wanted to get caught to claim the idea as her own and get me out of the picture—”

I cut him off. He was lying. I hated Payne. He was rude, disrespectful, and selfish, but he was excellent at his job. I may have wanted him fired many times but never said anything because he was good for the company.

But fuck that. Morgana was my friend and I knew for a fact it was her idea. She told me her idea the Monday we got back from London.

“He’s lying, Mr. Mimir, and I can prove it.” I smirked at Payne knowing he only had minutes left as a Mimir employee.
