Grovel For Me

Synopsis

Three months into the job, I found out my coworkers were calling me "the Spinster" behind my back. The nickname started with Ryan Mitchell's stuck-up secretary. She thought it was hilarious that I was thirty-two and still waiting for a ring after an eight-year relationship. I marched into Ryan's office and confronted him. "Did you know your staff is calling me the Spinster?" He didn't even bother to look up. "Chloe is just blunt. It was only a joke. Are you really going to hold a grudge against a kid at your age?" He finally raised his eyes and let out a soft chuckle. "You have to admit, it kind of suits you." An icy hand squeezed my heart. Eight years of my life, and to him, I was nothing but a cheap punchline. I turned around, handed in my resignation, and blocked him on absolutely everything. And just like that, the man who never lost his cool finally panicked. "Freya Sinclair, please come back."
