Chapter 31: Bruised Knees
The smile on Athena’s lips tinkered on oblivion when she walked into the office and saw who was waiting for her at Ciara’s desk.
Fiona.
She was about to call for the security men when she saw the tears in Fiona’s eyes.
She stopped in her tracks. Had the mother died? Athena almost felt guilty.
But then her eyes wandered to the basket of flowers on the ground, to the variety of items in another basket beside Fiona, and she let out a chuckle.
She knew this part of the play. Fiona had come to beg.
Didn’t Ewan inform her of the truce?
"What are you doing here, Fiona?"
Fiona, who had been facing the calendar in false misery, who had pretended not noticing Athena’s presence, turned to Athena and started sobbing.
Ciara darted her eyes to Athena in confusion.
"Let her in, Ciara. Get us two cups of chocolate."
Two can play the game. Athena thought as she strode into the office, without sparing Fiona a glance.
Fiona sniffed, and flexed her fists, wishing she could drag Athena by the hair and give her the beating of her life.
How dare she ignore her pitiful state? What was puffing her shoulders? The tag of ’Doctor’?
She bit her lips in anger. Soon, Athena will regret treating her with disdain.
For now, however, she will let her nemesis gallivant.
After all, her recent role of submission was temporary. She believed she would have the last laugh.
With that thought ingrained in her senses, she gingerly got up from the chair, and carried the gift items which her father had procured for her role.
When she got to the office, Athena was standing by the large glass window with an overview of the beautiful city.
