Chapter 11

"For crying out loud, Laurel. Sometimes I wonder if you even have the sense you were born with!" he gritted out.

"Well, you're the one who started it!"

"And I was the one who was trying to sort it all out."

"Oh, yeah, because that was going so well for you."

"It was going a damn sight better before you came storming out my private office cloakroom and making everything seem a whole lot more suspicious!"

"I'd already heard him say that whatever you said couldn't be retracted."

"And yet I had almost persuaded him to do so before you threw a spanner in the works. Now it just looks a whole lot worse for both of us."

"And what exactly do you need to worry about? I'm the one with the warnings and complaints against me!"

"Oh, of course! And that little stunt of stomping around and implying that I'd sexually harassed and compromised you in some way did nothing to throw suspicion at me, did it?"

"Well, it isn't like it's not true!"

Silence.

"I think you'd better return to your office," Connor eventually said, sounding glaringly quiet after the heated exchange.

"Damn it, Connor, you know I didn't mean it like that!" Laurel argued.

"Then, just how did you mean it?" Connor asked, looking pointedly at his injured thumb where Laurel could still see the redness of the bite mark she had given him. Well, there was something legitimate he could report to HR, she thought almost hysterically.

"I meant that it impugned my reputation just as much as yours."

"Do you really think that will be the case? How many men do you think get hauled up on sexual harassment charges compared with women? Don't be so bloody naïve!"

"Oh, please! Everybody knows that it's the woman who comes off as some kind of slut when those things come to light."

"Whatever," Connor sighed flatly refusing to go another round with her. "Just leave, Laurel. The damage is already done."
