[EVE]
This time, I didn't wait. I grabbed Haley by the wrist and started dragging her toward the door, ignoring her protests.
Helen spluttered. "Eve, this is—!"
Helen sighed dramatically, shaking her head. "You're so cold, Eve. We were worried about you! We just wanted to visit and see how things were going."
I narrowed my eyes. "This is my workplace, not a family reunion."
"And yet, you refuse to respect your own family," Helen continued, placing a hand over her chest like I had just deeply wounded her. "Eve, dear, don't you think you're being a little harsh?"
I scoffed. "Harsh? Harsh is barging into my workplace uninvited when you know damn well that security is tight for a reason. Did you forget what happened last time? When dad came here? Or should I remind you of what happens when designs get stolen?"
