Chapter 71: Betrayal

Bruce's POV

When Chris told me that Omnilert had dismissed Apple because of our affair, I felt like a horrible jerk. I felt like a jerk since I knew she was going to be fired and did nothing to prevent it or warn her. What a jerk I used to be!

That wouldn't have troubled me in the least until I met her. It was now eating away at my gut like cancer. I also knew Chris was the one who had sought her firing. At first, I was upset, but I soon understood that he was correct: I needed to stop thinking with my manhood and start thinking with my head.

I liked Apple a lot but if our connection became public, it may give the perception of impropriety, which could endanger the Jones sale.
