Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge-Chapter 111 - She Couldnt Be Weak Anymore

"Hands." Micheal was stern as he stared down at Sophie's hands as she twisted his suit.

"Please, Micheal… I mean Mr Palmer Sir… I only sent those emails on behalf of Management. Emma had told me what to say and it was all her idea." Sophie was too preoccupied with pleading her innocence that she didn't notice Micheals glare as she crumpled his suit in her hands.

"Hands!" Having had enough of Sophie he enunciated louder to put his point across.

"Huh? hands… Oh, I'm sorry Mr Palmer." Sophie quickly let go of Micheals suit once she realised what she was doing. "Do you believe me, Mr Palmer?"

Micheal fixed his suit and then glanced up giving April a smirk before he pulled his cuffs down and stared at Emma waiting for her response to the accusations.

Emma smiled at Micheal. She wasn't worried one bit, she was smart. These young girls had fallen for her trap. But unfortunately, April came out of her experience unscathed and now Sophie was trying to drag her into the mess she had helped to create.

Emma flicked her long hair back over her shoulder and gave an exaggerated smile before she responded, "Mr Palmer you know me well enough to know that I would never be involved in such shenanigans, to put one of my staff members in such an unsafe predicament I could never be involved in that." 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Micheal could see straight through Emma, she was very smart. For years any new, talented and artistic girl that had come to work here had always quit within the first six months. He could never prove that it was down to Emma's involvement and this time he still couldn't. April was resilient though and Emma wouldn't be able to get rid of her.

Emma smiled back as Micheal stared at her, but she felt nervous. She also knew he was aware of all the other girls she had gotten rid of. She hated these young girls that would come in and try to take over the place and her job. She was irreplaceable didn't they all know this by now. No matter who they brought in she could and would get rid of.

"Yes, I am well aware of your character." Micheal promptly replied before he turned to the problem of the day Sophie, "Sophie I hear you but we have evidence and it speaks for itself. You have no escape route so don't fight me on this. Pack up your stuff and go to human resources to collect your termination papers."

Yes, he wanted revenge for April but this was dragging on and Sophie had to know her time at the company was done after this event.

"Wait, no-no-no. I am not fired, I can't be fired." Sophie took a step forward in disbelief, she wanted to grab onto Micheal again like a liferaft she wanted to cling to him for survival but he quickly stepped back and avoided her hands.

Her hands were left empty, she bit her lip and stared around the room looking for help. But her colleagues either looked away to avoid her or shook their heads. She was scared she never thought that she would lose her job because of this. She was aware that if you got fired from Walker Interiors her name would be blacklisted and she would find it near impossible to get another job.

She certainly wouldnt get a job that would pay anywhere near what she was getting at the moment. Because of her job she had an apartment in a nice area, she had an expensive car that she was paying off. If she lost her job she would have to take the car back to the dealership and she would have to move out of her apartment. With one idiotic move like a domino effect, her life had tumbled one after the other.

She looked up and saw April, she had to try, "April I am so sorry, I only sent those emails I didnt mean for anything bad to happen. I of course didnt want anything to happen to you, we have been friends since day one when you started here. Wasnt I friendly with you from day one, you know I would never hurt you intentionally."

April did feel bad for Sophie and she did think they were friends, but something had changed in their friendship. April didnt know when or why but her instinct told her there had been a shift in their dynamic. "Sophie yes in the beginning you were friendly and we had some laughs, but something changed in our friendship"

"You see, so you know I couldn't have set you up like everyone is saying. Speak to Micheal and tell him, I can't lose my job over something I wouldnt do" Sophie reached for a glimmer of hope.

"Unfortunately Sophie the facts are there in plain sight. Your communication between yourself and Lucy shows your intention. You cannot deny that you were setting me up. I am not a fool and I cannot continue to be friends with someone that would hurt me. It is not down to me whether or not you will be fired, Michael is my friend but you broke company policy and you broke your contract by doing that." April detached herself as she spoke, she couldn't be friends or weak anymore and allow others to hurt her.

"So you won't help me?" Sophie then started to laugh, it was dark and insecure. "Well then if I am losing everything I may as well tell you the truth. I only sent a few emails but I was not the mastermind. All your doing is getting rid of me here at work, I can get you anywhere." Sophie then walked around her desk she grabbed her bag and stomped out towards the lift.

She hit the lift button and waited, she tapped her foot as she waited.. As the lift arrived she got in and flipped them off before shouting, "This isn't over you b*tch."
