"Leave this to me," declared Minnie with a triumphant smirk. "Just wait for the news."

She hung up and thought of Walter, still snoozing in the lounge, and picked up her pace.

However, as soon as she entered the office, there was David, ever the loyal guard at the lounge door.

The sight of him made her blood boil, and she stomped her foot in silent fury.

David was a thorn in her side, always messing up her plans. She needed to replace a way to convince Walter to give him the boot.

Still, Minnie greeted David with a dazzling smile. "Morning, Mr. Zimmer."

David nodded, blocking her path to the lounge with a polite but firm stance. "Ms. Kast, the boss is sleeping in there, and it's probably best not to wake him"

Minnie holding up the cup of warm water. "No worries, I'm just dropping off some water for Walter so he's not parched when he wakes up. I won't make a peep, promise."

Minnie was ready to tiptoe into the resting room, but David was not having any of it. "How about we hold off on that? If Mr. Walter Gordon's thirsty when he comes to, you can always bring the water then."

Walter had made it crystal clear to David: No alone time with Minnie when he was not fully alert.

David might not have known the drama from last night, but he had Walter's orders etched in his brain. Whatever went down before he got there was out of his hands, but since he was on watch at this moment, no way was he letting any no-no's happen on his watch.

"Mr. Zimmer, do you have to be so distant?" Minnie's cheeks flared up. "Did you forget who I am? I'm going to be Mrs. Gordon, the big cheese of the Gordon family. You keep this up, and once Walter and I tie the knot, I'll make sure to have a little chat with him about you. How do you like them apples?"

Right then, she was itching for David to take a hike, to just scram.

However, her threats bounced off David like he was made of Teflon. "If that's how you see it, Ms. Kast, let me break it down for you.

"First off, the would-be Mrs. Gordon and the actual Mrs. Gordon are worlds apart. Knowing who you are is the key to standing tall, no matter where you are.

"Secondly, I've been on Mr. Walter Gordon's team for years, and I get what he's about. He'd only let me go if I wasn't cutting it, not over some petty gossip. If you're sticking around Mr. Walter Gordon with that kind of mindset, Ms. Kast, you might want to watch your step. "Lastly, as Mr. Walter Gordon's right-hand person, looking after his meals and day-to-day is my gig. If you've got something to say to Mr. Walter Gordon, you'll just have to wait until he's up and about to say it!"

David laid out his three-point defense like a pro, and as he wrapped up, Minnie had that sinking feeling that she was the real joke there.

Her cheeks burning with a mix of fury and shame, she balled up her fists. Her pretty eyes were ablaze with

rage.

"David, don't you dare think you can just dodge the bullet!"

David let out a mocking laugh and stood his ground, telling her, "Sorry, Ms. Kast. I don't play by those rules. I only take what Mr. Walter Gordon hands me." Chapter 447
