Chapter 86 Nikki
I headed across the street and walked into the building taking the elevator up and threw myself into work after apologizing to George about being late. He must have seen my desperate eyes and fearful look because he simply nodded his head and told me to get to work. For the next three hours, I threw myself into a workflow that was only distracted by people walking in and scheduling meetings for George.
The McCall building was much like Fortworth Inc. It was a large corporation that dealt with failing businesses but focused mostly on energy efficient ones. It was amazing the things I learned but with my mind only on Brody and what he had planned for Bronson, I couldn’t think of much else.
“Nikki?” George had called me to his office with the intercom buzzer that I despised. I knew it was time to speak with him about what went down yesterday. I couldn’t necessarily pretend it didn’t happen, and although I only wanted to think about my brother, I had more bridges to cross.
“George, thank you for seeing me.” I state as I entered his office. He waved his hands for me to sit and I did so after closing the door behind me. At least I wouldn’t have an audience. “I know I owe you an apology and–"
“You’re seeing Bronson Fortworth?”
“What?”
“I had no idea you were seeing him. Why is it you still wish to work for me?” His question had thrown me off, but I wanted to answer him truthfully.
“because I need a job.” I ignored the narrowing of his eyes. “George, I know you don’t trust me, you have every right to hate me, but I’m not the same person that met you back in the park that day. Bronson changed me and in order for me to prove to myself that I’m no longer that same person, I want to start a new. I had no idea that Bronson’s friend that was giving me a chance was you, but I guess that’s how the universe works. I’m ready to work hard and I promise, you won’t ever have to worry about me again.”
He thought long and hard and I wasn’t going to be surprised if he chose to fire me, but instead, he nodded his head and told me to get back to work. I had never been so pleased to be told what to do.
It was nearing closing time when another person came into the building and walked up to my door. He looked familiar but I couldn’t quite place his name. I gave him the same small fake smile I had given everyone else before him, but a cold shiver ran down my spine when he matched it with one of his own.
