Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 16 - Burningly Elegent

When he called her name in recognition she sneered in her heart. How dare this man call her after what he did she thought. But she remembered that he hadn't done anything yet, at this moment they were just friends and he wasn't even due to start his conniving ways yet.

She looked up at his proud, handsome face incidentally, their eyes met and her slightly icy gaze came forward unrelentingly, and his look also remained firm.

As the two were stuck in a deadlock, she heard Michaels voice from behind, she broke eye contact and turned to her know boss Michael with a cheerful smile on her face.

Michael approached while fixing his suit jacket as he stood beside them, he could feel tension but he wasn't sure what it was about.

"Mr Stewart I came out to greet you as you hadn't arrived yet, and I see you have met April our new interior designer." He looked from one to the other.

She smiled and looked at James. "Nice to meet you, Mr Stewart." April didn't put her hand out to shake his.

James was taken back, why did she refuse to acknowledge their friendship, he had liked her for many years now. She was kind, caring and came from a wealthy family like his. He thought they were a good match. His fists clenched slightly in annoyance.

"April what do you mean by this? We are friends and you usually call me James."

April then turned to Michael ignoring James as much as possible, just know her emotions had slipped and he may have noticed too much of a change in her. She didn't like that he had the upper hand at this moment.

"I shall see you Monday morning Micheal and thank you again for the opportunity."

Michael nodded at April and watched as she quickly walked in the other direction.

She hoped that James wouldn't pass on anything he may have noticed to Lucy she wasn't sure how close they had gotten yet so she couldn't be too careful.

"Wait, April.."

James reached out but his hands were empty she had fled before his eyes. She walked away from him and he felt that at that moment he had lost something special and he had wanted to go after her. She was all burningly elegant, magnificently classy, overwhelmingly dominant!

Michael scratched his nose, he had obviously come at the wrong moment for James but he may have helped April somewhat.

"I want April to work on the project, that is my only stipulation." James looked up at Micheal.

Michael put on a customary smile and nodded, he was sure that April would refuse on Monday.

April walked away from the scum she had once thought that she had loved. He had used her innocence and pure nature to get what he had wanted. Abandoning her to die alone, leaving only ashes.

Shaking off the pain and resentment that would only be poison in her heart she walked under the pleasant evening sun towards the supermarket.

She didn't want to return to her 'home' where the two scheming witches resided so she would need to buy some necessities for her new home. On the way, she took out her phone and she disguised her number before calling.

"The Green and Jones residents, how may I help you?"

April smiled as Tom answered and had remembered to use her mother's surname as well as her fathers.

"Hi Tom it's me, can you tell my father that I will be sleeping over with friends this weekend and I will probably be back on Monday."

"Yes of course and I will take care of things here while you're away." Toms words filled her with warmth.

"Thank you, see you soon Tom."

April then hung up her phone and put it away again. She took pleasure in walking to the supermarket and basked in the sun, it cleared her head, she had started a new life and would enjoy the small things.

She entered the supermarket and picked up some daily necessities and food that she could need over the weekend. This would be her chance to relax and figure out her next moves before Rachel could. She whizzed around and once she had everything she went to the checkout and paid the bill.

It was getting darker now but it was still warm outside and although the bags were slightly heavy she decided to walk to the condo. She had four bags and she balanced them as she walked the twenty minutes home. She smiled upon seeing her new home in the distance and a gentle breeze seemed to carry her to her destination.

On the same road driving towards Cerulean Condominium was an exhausted Dean Davis. His secretary Oliver had driven him home as Dean had worked non stop the past 48hours.

Dean leaned his head back and pinched his glabella, too tired from the stress snd endless meetings he now cleared his mind and thought of her. He wondered if she was okay and what she was doing at this very moment. Where her stepmother and step-sister being ruthless.

Oliver meanwhile was driving along, they had reached the street that led to Cerulean Condominium and he saw a well dressed young girl carrying four heavy bags, his eyebrow scrunched up. He looked in the mirror afraid to disturb Dean but also his conscience couldn't help but ask.

"Cough, Dean there is a girl who looks like she's walking towards Cerulean Condos and she seems to have some very heavy bags." Oliver peered in the mirror at his boss, waiting for a reply.

Dean furrowed his eyebrows annoyed by Oliver disturbing his thoughts of his angel. "Do I look like I run a taxi service? If you want to pick up every waif and stray then hand in your notice tomorrow and you will be free to do so."

"No no I was just... never mind." Oliver kept driving and eventually drove past April. She had her head up snd seemed to be smiling and not struggling. Oliver's heart felt relieved.
