But it was Summer’s case.
He couldn’t waste any more time.
Summer’s family was old money. Earlier this
year, there was a chemical spill that sent tons
of employees to the hospital.
Even worse, some of them died.

Nick was going to handle it himself.
But Summer was running her mouth on social
media.
She ended up leaking the personal
information of the victims.
Then she started telling her audience to
harass them.
Nick was so pissed, he wanted to sue.
He had no choice.
He needed me.
I was his best lawyer.
Only I could fix it.
But Frank didn’t like that, and said:
“Nope.”
He turned to me and said, “Let’s go.”
“This is between Lindsey and me, you can’t
interfere.”
“Are you trying to get my employee involved
in a case that’s impossible to win? I can’t let
that happen.”
Nick ignored him and kept looking at me.
But he wasn’t confident.

After I turned in the resignation letter, he lost
control over me.
He knew it.
But he didn’t want to believe it.
He always told me to leave my problems at home, but he was the one who brought emotions into work.
He was counting on me to follow his lead.
He knew if he was strict enough, I would
break.
For years, I’d done everything he wanted.
He thought it would work again.
I looked up at him and took a breath.
“Okay.”
I felt Frank stiffen next to me. “Lindsey.”
“Sign the divorce papers, and I’ll do it.”
Nick stared at me, incredulous.
Now he realized I was serious about the divorce and the resignation.
