Chapter 122 - Leave On Your Own Or...
Michael who had seen enough waved the two security guards over.
The two men approached and stood just to the side of Michael, "Boss?"
Michael grinned at the two guards and then glanced at Lucy who was looking up at him with a pitiful stare and fake tears swelling in her eyes as she held her mother's hand for dramatic effect. He then answered his dutiful security guards, "Help these two women out of the building and make sure they do not return or you both will be fired."
Both nodded at the command from their boss. The taller of the two stepped forward and spoke to Lucy as the woman on the floor had her eyes firmly shut and announced, "You can either both leave on your own or myself and my colleague will escort you both out and you know we won't be gentle."
Lucy gulped and took a look at Michael, then April and finally to her mother. Michael had given the order so he wouldn't help and April she knew would be gloating at seeing them like this. Staring at her mother faking it with her eyes closed and noticing the security guard taking another large step forward she stood up abruptly grabbing her handbag and turned and walked straight out of Walker Interiors, leaving her mother lying on the floor.
Racheal opened one eye to see what was happening and why it had all gone so quiet all of a sudden. Seeing her daughter rush in the other direction and out the doors she huffed and stood up before following her out of the lobby.. She held her head high and her back straight as she rushed out to follow after her daughter.
April lightly laughed. She didn't know how they both could put on such a dramatic act like that and then leave so quickly with their heads held high as if nothing had happened and they weren't the ones making a scene.
Michael wanted to ease Aprils mind after what had just happened and so April wouldn't fret so much about the scene that was just caused "Family eh… are they all this delusional and shameless?"
The two guards walked behind Lucy and Racheal seeing that they had left the building they returned to their posts at the door, hoping never to see the two dramatic women again. If they did they would never let them step foot inside the building, after all their jobs were on the line.
"Just those two, sorry about that." April glanced at Michael and he placed his arm around her as he guided her towards the lift. She thought about the fact that they weren't actually her family and that made her feel better.
Michael pressed the lift button and they waited for it to arrive "So I haven't seen you in a while… how is living with grandpa in the Davis mansion."
Bing the lift doors opened and they entered together.
"It's been a while hasn't it, we should do dinner again the four of us. As for grandpa, we move in tonight with him, the contractors apparently had to delay the start of the remodel. I think that Dean had something to do with it and then so did grandpa." April leaned against the lift wall while chatting with Michael, she thought of moving into the Davis manor that evening and planned all the meals she would cook grandpa.
"Oh? Both Davis heads of the family fighting over you… I love it. You will be well cared for I'm sure." Michael grinned, he was amused that Dean would now have to fight for her affection with his own grandpa, and he was glad to hear it. She needed all the love she could, after today's shenanigans he could only imagine her home life with Racheal and Lucy wouldn't be a happy one.
"They weren't fighting, but when grandpa found out why we hadn't moved in a few weeks ago the contractors suddenly contacted me and said that they were available to start the remodel this weekend. It was funny seeing Dean mope around the apartment when he found out that his grandpa got involved and we would be moving in this evening."
With another Bing, the lift doors opened and April got out.
"It must have been Dean then, you can't blame him though he wants you all to himself." Michael held the door to the lift open as he responded. "Men can be possessive of your time when you're in love." Michael then let go of the lift doors as they closed he said, "I will be in touch about our couples dinner."
April smiled and replied, "Sure any day suits."
April then turned at seeing the lift doors close, she shook her head dispelling the negative energy she had felt thinking of the scene that had just occurred. She sat at her desk and started to work.
Aarna swivelled her chair over beside April and asked, "Everything okay?"
April glanced over at Emma's empty desk and replied, "Yes just my step mother and step sister causing a scene but it's all sorted now. How's you and Zane?"
Aarna nodded and then glanced down, "Good I'm glad it's all sorted. Mm, we are okay… I think."
"You think?" April raised an eyebrow as she enquired. Did Zane need another pep talk to shake him?
"Yes no, we are okay." Aarna then swivelled her chair back to her desk.
April didn't want to pry into Aarna's business so she just responded, "If you need me just message or ring me. Day or night."
Aarna nodded, "Same and thank you."
The afternoon then seemed to pass by very quickly April had a multitude of tasks to complete for her own renovation and the start of James project. She dreaded meeting up with him but she would always remain a professional.
April logged off her computer and stood, grabbing her phone and placing it in her bag as she walked to Aarna's desk.
"Hometime." April smiled as Aarna glanced up at her.
"Yes let's go." Aarna stood slowly and put her bag on her shoulder and the two entered the lift together.
