A Promise Of Vengeance

Chapter 8: poetic karma

Amy couldn’t sleep at all that night, Harley wanted to have her r***d that way the Anderson family would break this alliance, it was an evil plan, but this is Harley we are talking about and Amy didn’t know why she was even surprised…

She wondered how many times Harley tried to do horrible things to her and how many times has she succeeded??? 

Anyways she was willing to give Harley the benefit of the doubt but after that stunt, she just pulled there was no way she was going to let it go, she was going to enjoy ruining Harley…

In her previous Harley pretended to be his friend while scheming behind her back and she will do the same, as for Charles he pretended to love her and betrayed her and it's only fair if she does the same, it would be poetic karma…

On Sunday she spent the entire day making sure that her first day at work on Monday doesn’t go sideways, she needs this co- CEO thing to work that way she can destroy and eliminate everyone who helped Charles or who might help Charles…

It was Monday morning and Amy woke up early and went straight to work, when she got to the lobby it was quiet and there were only a few people there like the cleaners and security and also the receptionist…

She went to the receptionist who was busy looking at her phone, “hi, can you please show me Tate Anderson’s office??” said Amy as polite as she could…

“Mr Anderson isn’t in yet and do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked without even looking at her.

“Not really, my name is Amy Jade Wilson.” said Amy and the girl finally stopped looking at herself and looked at Amy….

“Is that name suppose to mean anything?” asked the receptionist Dorothy.

“Ohhh how cute, I was hoping that I didn’t have to pull rank… I am Amy Jade Wilson who is soon going to be Tate Anderson’s co-CEO if you read the news, now if I were you, I wouldn’t make me angry because then my first act as co-CEO might be to fire your stupid disrespectful a*s” said Amy with a cold voice that scared Dorothy to death...

She needed this job, her sister was having another baby and the father ran away again, “yes ma’am let me take you there personally.” she said leading the way to the private elevator…

When they got to the top floor which is the CEO’s office and the boardroom Amy kept looking around, it was quiet and beautiful up there and you could even see birds flying nearby…

She got to Tate’s office to only find a table with a large chair and also a file cabinet, and two more chairs on the other side, “get me a second chair will you and while you are at bring me all the files that need to be looked at” said Amy and Dorothy nodded…

Tate woke up late that morning, it was one rough weekend and he got well rested, he looked at his watch and saw that he was going to be 30 minutes late for the meeting he set up with the marketing team…

He kept telling his driver Joe to hurry, he was the boss, but he never liked being late, how will your employees respect you if you cant be punctual or can’t even organise your life?

He went straight to his office to take the file they will be discussing in the meeting when he noticed an extra chair in his office but this one was purple, and it was sitting on his side of the desk… he looked at the coat hanger and saw a woman’s coat which means that Amy was already here but where is she?

He went straight to the boardroom and there he found that the meeting has started and there was someone in his chair, “what is going on here???” he asked and the person who was sitting in his chair turned around and stared at him with a smirk was Amy…

He couldn’t stop himself from gawking at her, he thought that she was beautiful with a carefree look but her business look was out of this world, her  hair was tied in a neat bun and she had nude lipstick.

She was wearing a black blazer, a white blouse that revealed her cleavage in a teasy and not so obvious way and also a black skirt and she was breath taking…

Everyone in the room were surprised to see that Tate was speechless, “well it looks like he won’t be talking anytime soon… continue with the meeting please” said Amy, and they all looked at Tate who nodded and stood by Amy’s side…

The meeting ended two minutes later, “well that was perfect but there is that detail on the brand manual that I don’t like at all, it's vague and we don’t need vague… fix that and Macy I need the final presentation on my desk today, you can go.” said Amy and they left her with a furious Tate….

“What are you doing sitting in my chair?” he asked her, Amy got up from the chair. 

“If you want to sit on it so badly you should have said so.” she said about to leave but Tate held her hand. 

“You came here to be trained not to take over.” he said in a cold tone…

“Yes and I just did, did you know that Macy and Michael are apparently a thing.” said Amy with a smirk, “you know what I mean and why is there a purple chair in my office?” he asked her as they were heading to his office…

“Well because they didn’t have a pink colour, apparently they were sold out so I settled for purple.” said Amy as she was sitting on her chair. 

“Why did you even have to buy a chair and why put it on my side of the desk, there are two extra chairs did you see them?” asked Tate pointing out the two chairs…

“Well I don’t like them.” said Amy like it wasn’t a big deal, “how can you not like them? They cost about $10 000 each and you don’t like them??” he said losing his cool…

“Well if you like them so much then sit on one yourself, I know it's not just about the chair but it’s about where I put it… I will be your co-CEO which means that I will be your equal and I won't learn how to do that by sitting on the other side of your desk, I will be here for a long time and you better get used to seeing me here.” said Amy as she started opening some files on the desk…

Tate felt like he could pull his hair out, what was he thinking about agreeing to this ridiculous deal?

 “Are you going to sit, or will you make a mountain out of a molehill??” Amy said without even looking at him…

Charles was in his office, he heard a few people talking and they were talking about Amy and Tate and how good they look together, apparently Amy left Tate speechless today…

Charles knew that them working so closely together was going to be a problem for him but he needed to create a rift between them, by all means, Amy is supposed to marry him and no one else especially his brother…

With Amy by his side Tate would have all the power in the world and over the company, I mean Amy is going to be the major shareholder and when you combine Amy and Tate’s shares they will hold 55% of the shares meaning that even if the board members don’t agree with how they do things they wont be able to fire them…

The only way that Amy was going to choose Tate is over Charles’s dead body…

Amy was busy that she even forgot to get lunch, Charles knocked on the door and when he got in he found the two of them sitting and they all looked very busy and he didn’t want to admit it but they both looked good together… t

Hey looked like a power couple that works together and supports each, “hey Amy, I just came to check if you wanted to grab a bite,” said Charles,

Amy didn’t look up at him, “I will have a salad and some sparkling water thank you very much,” she said still looking at her computer screen…

The person who looked up was Tate, “I will also have what she is having.” said Tate with a smirk, he knew that Charles was asking Amy out for lunch…

“Amy I meant that we can grab lunch together.” said Charles, Amy looked up from the screen…

“You do know that I am at work and we agreed that I will be spending time with you when I am done with work and that is around 5 pm, then why are you asking me to go and have lunch with you?” she asked, Tate could see something in her eyes every time she looked at Charles…

“Well I just thought that since you will be spending time with my brother every day at the office then you will spend your lunch breaks with me.” said Charles making Amy frown.

“Stop thinking then, I am here to work not choose a husband.. don’t bring that salad, I just lost my appetite.” said Amy... when Charles left, she wanted to kick herself, she was supposed to pretend to be in love with him and all she did was just confirm that she hates his guts, he had to pretend that she likes him but how?

How do you pretend to love someone you hate with all your being?
