Chapter 190 Burned To The Ground

• Miles offers to let me go home early, but I refuse. I’ve had too many setbacks already, so many almost exclusively handed to me by Edward Zimmer. I’m not going to let him win by cowering any longer. It’s past time that I start advocating for myself.
• After righting myself in the chair, and assuring Miles I’m okay enough for him to leave me be for a time, I call Hugo and arrange for a meeting.
• At lunch, I find myself sitting at a table with him and Kimberly. Miles wanted to come, but I told him it would draw too much of a scene. Besides, with Hugo and Kimberly, we were old co-workers and friends catching up.
