set up an appointment with you. I believe that Ms. Dawson has been falsifying records on employees. I include myself in that comment, sir. I believe Ms. Dawson has placed false reports in my file which have kept me from being advanced in the hospital executive hierarchy.”
“Interesting that these charges have not been brought to my attention sooner. Did you convey to my assistant, Alice, the seriousness and importance of the meeting you were trying to arrange?”
Adam starts to squirm a little in his seat. It probably would’ve gone unnoticed to the normal human eye, but to vampires it’s apparent that Mr. Adam Thornton is becoming very nervous.
“No, sir, I did not. I felt that it was not something that could or should be discussed with an assistant, but that needed to be handled with discretion. She advised me that your schedule was booked and that I should submit a confidential email to you with the topic of the meeting, and you would get back to me.”
Ian looks at Adam and asks quietly, “Did you send me an email? Did I somehow miss this information?”
“No, Mr. Lochlan. I decided that I would continue trying to setup a face-to-face meeting with you.”
Ian rises to his feet suddenly startling Adam and causing him to jump in his seat. “Mr. Thornton, let’s stop playing this game. I have here,” he tosses the file across the table to slide toward Adam, “your personnel file.”
Adam reaches out, picks up the file, and starts to thumb through it. “These reports and complaints are untrue, Mr. Lochlan. These are a blatant fabrication of Ms. Dawson’s doing. I would never hurt or abuse a co-worker nor a female of my acquaintance.”
Tossing another file across the table toward Adam, Ian crosses around the table toward him. “Try to explain the police reports to me, Adam. Tell me why the cops of Minneapolis are after you and why they are putting false records in that report.”
“Damn that bitch,” Adam says in a rage-filled voice. “She told you about us , didn’t she? Are you sleeping with her too? Is that what all this is about? You didn’t call me in here to promote me, did you?”
Ian places his hands on the table and leans toward Adam. “What ‘bitch’ are you referring to, and I will warn you to think carefully before you answer.”
Adam stands up and tosses the files on the table. “Fuck you. Apparently, I’m being fired anyway so I’ll tell you what I told that bitch Ellie. She crossed the wrong man. I told her she needed to learn that her place is on her knees or on her back. Bitch always thinks she is better than everyone else.”
Quicker than humanly possible, Ian punched Adam Thornton in the face and he dropped to the ground clutching his face.
“You will hear from my lawyer, Lochlan. That’s an assault, and I will own this place.”
Ian turns toward Lorenzo. “Please escort Mr. Thornton to his office to gather his personal belongings and then have him escorted off the property. Security will be notified that you are not to be on the hospital grounds for any reason, Mr. Thornton.”
Lorenzo attempts to help him up from his spot on the floor. Adam jerks away. “Get your fucking hands off of me, you bastard. You have not heard the last of me, Lochlan.” Adam stomps from the conference room with Lorenzo following behind.
“Wow,” Jasper says. “He really does blow hot and cold, doesn’t he? Are you going to tell Ellie what happened today?”
Ian sits down at the table. “No, she’s going on vacation and I think it would just put a damper on her rest. She’ll hear about it when she gets back since she will be doing the paperwork to terminate his benefits and searching for a replacement in the marketing department.” He sighs. “Jasper, I’m going home so I can
