Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 109 - Terminate

Micheal glanced at April before he continued to glare at Sophie, "What is Walker Interiors policy on meeting clients off premises?"

Sophie felt uncomfortable as the spotlight shone on her as the room was silent and all her fellow coworkers were all listening intently yet acted as if they weren't, "Mmm." That was all she could manage. How was Micheal suddenly this intimidating, he was usually so easygoing and jovial?

"Well Mrs Patterson, what is the policy that you signed on your contract?" Micheal addressed her formally as he wanted her to know that her actions had severe repercussions and to treat him as her manager.

"Mmm... Well, what I mean to say is that the policy states that for our own safety we are only to meet clients on Walker Interiors premises." Sophie's gaze switched between April and Micheal giving them both a pleading glance.

"I am glad you remember the policy." Micheal smiled as he answered Sophie.

Sophie, who was hoping that that was the end of the conversation, added, "Yes, of course, I remember. Only an idiot would ignore that rule."

April snickered, an idiot she thought as she smirked at Sophie. Yes, Sophie and Lucy had both thought that she was idiotic enough to meet a strange man in a private room alone. But luckily in this lifetime after learning countless times in her past life the true nature of people who surrounded her, she was prepared.

Micheal didn't miss the look April had given Sophie so he added, "Good then I hope you know that if this rule is broken and the company finds out that it can lead to termination."

"Termination?" Sophie exclaimed, she had not remembered that, but thankfully it wasn't her who had gone to meet Director Compton it was April.

"Yes, all your contracts state that if any rules are broken management has the right to terminate your employment with immediate effect," Micheal answered.

So with the sudden realisation, she smiled and folded her arms as she sat back smugly in her chair and said, "So no matter who it is they would be fired?"

"Yes with immediate effect," Micheal stated.

"Mr Palmer, well then I have something to discuss with you, but it's delicate and you may not want to hear it," Sophie said.

"Go on," Micheal answered with a smile, he knew exactly where this was going.

April inwardly rolled her eyes, this girl was unbelievable. She was going to play the victim and try and get her fired, well that's not happening thought April.

"Well," Sophie said somewhat sheepishly even though she was inwardly gloating. This would be the end of April, she thought.

If she could get rid of April she could almost guarantee that she could get Mr Davis and Mr Stewart's renovation, giving her time to get close to both men. Both men had status and money and that was exactly what she had wanted in life. She had hated April from the moment she saw her with Dean Davis and then she spotted her with James Stewart too, life was so unfair.

April had just entered the company and these two giants in the business world wanted her to renovate their apartments. She had gone to drown her sorrows one night when she saw Dean and April out together and the same night she ran into Lucy. From that time she had pretended to be April's friend until she and Lucy could come up with a plan.

"Just say it." Micheal wanted to hurry this along, he would much prefer to take April for an early lunch to see how she was after her ordeal than drag this out with Sophie.

"Sorry Mr Palmer, well it concerns your good friend April," Sophie announced.

"You… How can you shift blame like that." Aarna who had stayed quiet couldn't hold back when she thought that Sophie was trying to get April fired.

"It's okay Aarna, let Sophie finish." April turned to look at her friend to reassure her with her words and a smile.

Aarna trusted April at her word but she was worried so she stood from her desk and joined April at her side in case she did need back up.

April thought that this gesture was sincere and heartwarming.

"Aarna I know April is your friend too, but this is a matter of company policy after all." Sophie felt smug as she had finally something over April that even Micheal could not refute after all these were his own words.

Sophie continued with a smug smile, "Micheal, sorry I mean Mr Palmer, I know April is your friend but she broke the exact policy we just talked about."

"She did?" Micheal pretended to be taken aback by the news and glanced from April then back to Sophie, "Go on." He replied.

"Well, last Friday afternoon April had mentioned that she was meeting a client but then she left work early, which I thought was strange. It just so happened that I was off that afternoon and I just happened to go to a restaurant with a friend that afternoon and that's when I saw April. Seeing a friend, I had gone to just say hi when I noticed that she entered a private room in the restaurant with Director Compton. But now I remember that she said she had said that she was meeting a client that afternoon."

Sophie then turned from Micheal to April and asked coquettishly, "Did you knowingly break policy to meet with Director Compton just to get a client and what did you have to do to get the client? Walker Interiors is a reputable firm and does not condone these practices"

Continuing Sophie then turned back to Micheal again and stated, "Mr Palmer sir I am very sorry to bring this news to you, I know April is your friend but as you just stated it is company policy and it doesn't matter who broke the rule their contract would still be terminated immediately.

"You shut up!"
