Chapter 82 - Hubby?
Aarna looked over at April to see her response, as far as she was aware nothing was happening. No new clients or meetings were scheduled, but she felt something wasn't right. She looked over to Emily's desk and as usual, it was empty.
April showed no response and only lifted her head to answer Sophie after she had finished logging on to her computer. She looked up at Sophie who stood in front of herself and Aarna with a smug look on her face so she plainly asked, "What's happening this afternoon?"
Sophie smiled, "You and Aarna have to meet a new client later, and Emily said we have to get this account as it will be huge for Walker Interior's portfolio. So do not mess this up or else… well Emily said you will both be fired."
Aarna gasped, "Fired!"
The news did not phase April, she knew Emily had no authority to fire anyone, give a disciplinary sure but fire someone for not being able to land a client? That would be cause for wrongful dismissal. She knew Sophie's attitude had switched recently but she wasn't sure why, she also did not know what she was planning but she decided to go along with it for now.
April smiled up at Sophie and responded, "Just email me the details through."
Sophie lost her smile for a second, she thought that April would ask more questions than that? "Do you not want to know more… like who the client is?"
April smiled again, "Nope just email me through the details… Oh, actually I have one."
Sophie beamed she couldn't wait to see how April would try and get out of this meeting, "Go ahead."
April looked over at Aarna, "Does Aarna have to come along with me? I mean does it really need two people to meet with a client? I have met other clients alone."
Sophie was startled she had thought April would have asked if Aarna could go alone but she was actually offering to go alone. Composing herself she responded, "No you both must go, it's… it is safer in numbers."
"Safer? Should there be any danger?" April asked as she stared at Sophie. What was she up to?
Sean overheard the conversation and shouted over, "Two is better than one. But if it's a question of safety im free this afternoon…"
Before Sean could finish offering his help Sophie snapped at him, "No need the client has specifically asked for you both."
Sean grumbled and added, "Sure but maybe I could tag along then."
At that moment the lift opened and Emily swayed her way through the office as usual she wore a revealing bodycon dress. "I have other plans for you this afternoon Sean so you are not free."
Sean sighed and got back to work on his computer.
April had inwardly thanked Sean for offering his help, it seemed that he wasn't part of whatever it was that Sophie and Emily were planning. Not wanting to disappoint the two she smiled and responded, "It isn't a problem we will both go and I am sure you will be happy with the results once we return."
Emily stood at Sophie's side smiling, "Oh yes I'm sure I will be over the moon after this afternoon."
Sophie and Emily then walked to their desks. Aarna was concerned and instant messaged April on the computer.
(Besty what are these two up to? I'm afraid!)
April responded quickly to her instant message.
(Don't be worried, whatever happens, I got this!)
Aarna's reply came fast.
(Okay besty xx)
April smiled and exited the chat. An email popped up and she opened it, it was the details for meeting the client in the afternoon. The reason she had asked that idiot Sophie to email her was for proof of the meeting and the details. Now she had proof if they were to deny they had any involvement she could use this email as evidence.
Thinking again for a moment she sent Dean a message, that man would no doubt want her to keep in contact throughout the day and she didn't know if she would have time to message him later. She searched for his name but couldn't find it, but then she came across the name hubby on her phone knowing she hadn't put this name in her phone and she had so few contacts she knew it was probably that shameless man who had changed his name on her phone.
She was initially going to send a flirty message but seeing what he had done she sent just one word to him.
(Dork)
She then put her phone in her bag and continued her morning work. She had to finish up the details for Dean's condo proposal and now that it involved her home as well she was excited to decorate it how she liked without having to ask for his opinion. After all, if he was shameless enough to move in without asking then she could and would decorate it however she liked. Though she kept in mind what he liked and needed after all she wanted a harmonious and happy home with him.
She smiled in contentment who knew in this life she would be free from her family and living with an adorably handsome man that not only loved her but drove her crazy in a good way also. She felt blissfully lucky.
Little did she realise that Sophie was watching her.
Sophie was fuming not only did April not give her the response she wanted to the news this morning but she also didn't seem worried about meeting a client outside of work. Was she this loose? Would she cheat on Dean Davis for a client? Sophie wasn't sure but she hoped this afternoon would go exactly as she and the others had planned out.
Everyone went out of the office for lunch but Sophie held back waiting for Aarna and April to leave for the 1 pm meeting.
