With his eyes closed, Nathan asked sharply, "Do you want to be investigated as well?"

"I'm sorry, General Morrison," Cole apologized quickly. "I'm deeply loyal to the country and you. I don't see the need for an investigation."

Nathan had never considered investigating Cole. He usually trusted the people he surrounded himself and wouldn't be involved with those he doubted. Unfortunately, his excessive trust had allowed Lucas to betray him and Fenna to deceive him brazenly.

"Drive on," muttered Nathan.

When Mila walked into the Morrison residence, she heard Layla sarcastically remark, "It's unbelievable there're still swomen who can be so jealous nowadays.

"They don't support, understand, or help their husbands at work and can't even handle having a female assistant."

Mila turned around to see Layla sitting on the couch in the living room.

Phoebe was seething and wanted to confront Layla, but Mila grabbed her hand just in tto stop her. Phoebe was merely an assistant. Her life wouldn't be easy in this house if she upset Layla.

Mila calmly approached Layla and said, "Layla, if you have something to say, just say it straight out. You don't have to get sarcastic."

Layla leaned back on the couch and replied arrogantly, "I wasn't talking about you. Don't take it personally."

"It's just us here. Are you talking to ghosts or something?"

Layla dropped the act when she saw Mila's firm stance. She stood up, crossed her arms, and said haughtily, "I just can't stand people like you. You rely on Nate's affection to mistreat his assistant. Are you satisfied now that Fenna has moved out and been suspended?"

Mila glanced at Phoebe, who looked just as confused. Phoebe shrugged, implying that she had no idea.

Yet, Mila was quick to collect herself. She replied, "If you care about Fenna so much, why don't you suggest she becDuke's secretary?

"She could take care of his needs around the clock. She could even cook for him and do all the housework. Fenna's meticulous and she could meet Duke's every need."

Layla's face turned sour and she was speechless for a moment. Mila realized that Layla couldn't accept what Fenna had done either when she saw Layla's defeated look.

"Layla, you're generous. You wouldn't mind Duke having a capable and caring secretary, would you?"

"I"

Mila cut Layla off, "Oh right, there are a few advantages to having Fenna as Duke's secretary. For example, if you need to talk to Duke urgently she'll hang up on you or even turn off his phone, because she thinks your call will interfere with Duke's work.

"What a thoughtful secretary. You wouldn't want to miss having her around."

Layla struggled to find a way to defend Fenna as she imagined herself in Mila's position. Suddenly, fin she found Fenna even more bitchy than she thought and understood why Mila wanted her gone However, Layla didn't sympathize with Mila, as she had always been prejudiced against Mila.

Mila's comeback silenced Layla. Feeling angry, Layla sat back on the couch and sipped her coffee. She composed herself and refrained from saying more.

When Mila saw that Layla had decided not to escalate the situation, she headed upstairs she walked past Phoebe who was trying to hold back her laughter. Phoebe gave her a thumbs up and whispered, "Mila, you're amazing."

Mila didn't feel pleased and forced a bitter smile.

Fenna and Nathan had been friends for over ten years and Nathan was someone who put relationships first.

Mila thought that Nathan wouldn't be too hard on Fenna and that he m wouldn't want to transfer her somewhere else.
