otherwise, Sarah. If it was simply about money, you could have come to me.”
    “Stop.” Sarah stood up and faced all three men, but directed her reply to Vitaly.
    “If you genuinely think that I would put money before someone I care…cared about let alone commit espionage, then you don’t know me at all. Now, if you’ll excuse me.” Sarah turned to leave.
    “And where do you think you’re going?” Vitaly demanded.
    “Away from here,” she answered hotly.
    “We aren’t done yet.”
    “Oh. Yes. We. Are.”
    “We are still investigating,” Marcus interjected.
    Turning to look at him, “Well, if that were the case, then don’t you think that these accusations were premature? Looks to me as if you’ve already made your decision. So, what’s it going to be? Are you going to be reasonable or continue to jump to conclusions, because if it’s the latter, I quit.”
    “You can’t quit, because you’re fired,” Vitaly shot back.
    “As you wish,” she replied. As Sarah headed to the door, she turned to look back at Vitaly. “Oh, and when you discover that you’re wrong. Don’t bother to come looking for me.”
    Sarah retrieved her personal belongings and headed to the elevator, as Simon caught up with her. “Sarah, wait. You have to understand how important this is.”
    “Of course, I understand. Someone who works for Vitaly is stealing secrets. But it isn’t me. It wouldn’t even occur to me to do so and he should know better. He was too quick to judge and if it wasn’t this, it might be something else. I’m just glad I found out the measure of the man before I made the mistake of telling him that I-” Sarah stopped herself from saying too much. “Before I invested more time in…him. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to leave. Now.”
    As Simon stepped back, he squeezed Sarah’s arm. “He’s a fool.” No longer able to talk, Sarah nodded her head as she stepped onto the elevator. Crossing her arms tightly over her chest, she willed herself not to cry. Not yet. Rushing out of the building, she hailed a cab and went straight back to the apartment. Throwing her clothes into her bag, she looked around the room one last time to make sure that she didn’t forget anything.
    As she walked out, she left her keys on the table by the door.

    Sarah asked the cab driver to take her to the nearest hotel. When he dropped her off, she waited until she could no longer see him and then crossed the street and headed down the block. If anyone was going to be looking for her, she wasn’t going to make it easy. Finding a smaller hotel a couple blocks down, she checked in.
    When she walked into her room, she dropped her bags on the floor as she followed them down. Unable to keep them at bay any longer, Sarah began to sob. After everything that happened between them, for him to assume the worst so quickly…Sarah was shocked that he thought so little of her. She felt as if her heart had broken as she grieved for the loss of Vitaly, their relationship and a job she loved.
    It was stupid of her to get involved with her boss. If she were smart, she would have maintained the relationship with him but not returned to work. Or returned to work, but kept it platonic. Not that she could have kept up that façade for long.
    She didn’t know how long she lay there crying before she realized that her phone was ringing. Sitting up, she reached for it to see that it was her friend, Lisa, calling.
    As soon as Lisa heard her voice, “Oh no, what did he do this time?” she asked her friend. As Sarah filled her in on what happened, she could hear noises in the background. Both Chloe and Mia had come in to hear the story.
    “Oh, hun, I’m so sorry,” Lisa
