Serena silently told herself to hold it in. She bit her tongue for as long as she could, but in the end, she couldn’t help it. Her eyes flared with defiance. Lennox, just because you’re my employer doesn’t mean you get to control what I wear!” She pulled the contract from her bag and slapped it against his arm. “There’s nothing in here about a dress code!”
