Despite the chaos outside, he directed his frustration at his former secretary. He fixed her with a stern gaze. “What's the deal with Jessie's fiance? Why is the engagement off?"

Melissa revealed the truth. ler fiance proposed an open marriage, which Jessie couldn't accept “Open marriage?! An open marriage?!"

Albert repeated, his voice escalating with each utterance. Finally, he exploded, “What nonsense! Who does he think he is?"

Melissa retorted defensively, “Honestly, you weren't any better to Jessie. At least her fiance was upfront about his intentions before the wedding and she had a chance to break it off."

Albert glared at Melissa, his anger palpable. "You seem determined to make matters worse. Aren't you worried I'll send you packing?"
