Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 120 - Brazen

Racheal seethed she didn't like being told what to do and April had blatantly told them to leave Walker Interiors and go home or go shopping. In the last twenty years, she had never been told what to do.

Racheal was panicked by this new April that stood before her but she didn't let it show in her actions. Instead, she held her daughter's arm and gave it a squeeze in order to silence her. They had to go now and regroup, they had lost today and she saw that April wouldn't let them past reception.

Lucy who had had her mouth covered by her mother and then her arm gripped felt very aggrieved. Why was she being silenced? She bit her lip in order not to say what she wanted to, her mother obviously had a plan.

Each time she had a tantrum she had always gotten her way whether it was a boutique clothing shop or at home so she was unsure why her mother had stopped her now when she had never done so before.

While being held and silenced by her mother she felt her rage bubble up. She would get her own back somehow. April couldn't escape if she tried again after all no one is that prepared or lucky to avoid danger all the time..

Rachel nodded, "You are busy today I see that now, it was an oversight on our part. But you know we are family and I will be speaking to your father later about this. Come home and see us soon and bring Dean with you to meet Lucy, they will get on well together. No point in just you coming home alone, Dean will need a proper meal and company."

April smile only grew at Rachel's attempts at an insult. She glanced around and leaned forward speaking low she said to both Lucy and Rachel, "Actually between us women. I can keep my man very satisfied hunger wise in and out of the kitchen… oh sometimes in the kitchen too." She then leaned back and saw Rachel's disgust and Lucy's envy written all over their faces.

April just smiled and continued as if she had not said anything, "But I will return and see my father, whether you both are at his home or not is not my concern as I am not visiting either of you."

"Why you... Why…" Lucy's anger rose again at April's provoking. She would love to be with Dean, he was her dream man and she couldn't see why or how April was deserving of such a man.

Rachel gripped Lucy's arm and she let out a yelp. Rachel plastered a smile back on her face, "Well I see you are busy we will come back."

April didn't want this scene to happen again so she folded her arms again and announced," Please be more aware of the time and place. Most people earn a living by working and not marrying into money. I work Monday to Friday early in the morning until late in the evening, as this is a place of work it is not a place to tour around or have a casual chat. If you show up next time you will not even get past security as I will inform them that you are only here to look around, as this is a place of work we are all very busy and do not have time to show people around so casually. So as you see there is no point in returning."

Lucy by now had bitten her lip so much that it had started to bleed, she had never been spoken to like this and she didn't see why April felt so entitled or got the audacity to speak to her or her mother like this.

Rachel sneered internally as April had reminded her that she was nothing and had indeed married for money so she regained her composure and replied, "We are very busy too. I may not come back here using your name but I know a few other people that work here so there will be no need to disturb you again." Rachel fixed her handbag on her shoulder and sternly glanced at April trying to once again manipulate her, "Although let me remind you that we are family at the end of the day and families look out for each other. So as you say this is a place of work so help your sister get a job here."

April smiled as they had finally dropped the act and stated their true purpose for visiting today, she didn't feel intimidated by Rachel's stares instead she felt empowered and replied, "You are my father's wife but we hold no ties, I wouldn't call you family and at the end of the day its night time nothing more."

Sick of the back and forth she turned to Shauneen and asked with a genuine smile, "Shauneen, sorry to bother you but are we accepting any new job applications at this time?"

Shauneen smiled at April she had been listening in and replied, "I'm sorry no, we are fully staffed at the present moment."

Lucy then remembered Sophie and announced, "Wait that can't be true, Sophie just got fired and she worked in the same office as you. How can they not fill her post?"

Michael who had arrived at the beginning of the back and forth between April and the other two women had stood back and listened to everything. He had never seen such brazen women in all his life. He started to approach, he felt he could now intervene as it was about the company and under no circumstances would he allow that girl to work for him. He would pay her to leave the building and not return but he didn't want to pay her a salary.

Michael coughed as he approached announcing his arrival and he leaned against the reception desk as he smiled at April and greeted her, "Good morning April."
