[STORY] Amanda (Season 2, Episode 08)

Episode 08.

As she took the call, Amanda watched her friend’s features contort into a frown; what was happening?

‘Greg has been fired and Nathan is now the C.E.O of Beecroft Software Empire’ Alex announced.

‘That’s not possible, but Greg has more experience’ Amanda was shocked, Nathan had mentioned something like that.

‘I don’t really know what to say, are you still going to work under that creep’? Alex asked.

‘Hell no! I’ll just miss Gwen, I wonder how she will cope with him’ Amanda replied. Blood drained from her face as she imagined working under Nathan.

‘He’d be the type to smack your ass while you’re at them files’ Alex joked and they laughed.

‘He is really creepy, I was surprised he was Greg’s brother; they are so different’ Amanda said.

‘Oh, I forgot to tell you that. Half brother thought, from different mothers’ Alex explained the relationship.

‘So? You wanted to tell me something before the call’? Amanda was curious.

‘Yes, yes. I broke up with Morgan because I lied, I know you’d be angry and you’d probably not speak to me again but I did what I thought was best for everyone’ Alex sighed.

‘Go on, tell me. You know I could never hold anything against you’ Amanda said.

‘Um, you avoided me when I forgot your birthday two years ago’ Alex reminded her.

‘Hey, that was two years ago; I’m grown now’ Amanda winked.

‘Okay. Deep breaths’ Alex bit her lip and exhaled.

‘Greg never apologized for sending the obscene note. I sent it myself; but in all honesty, he actually didn’t send that note to you; he sent it to some girl named Trudy, I swear; I saw the note myself. Morgan showed me, there was a name written at the edge of the paper, I guess you failed to see it’ Alex hoped Amanda would forgive her.

‘Is that all’? Amanda asked.

‘Yes’ she nodded a response.

‘Not a big deal. Wait, does that mean you also apologized on my behalf’? Amanda chuckled.

‘Yes, I knew your ego was standing between you and that Job and I needed to do something about it. I am sorry, I should never have done something like that’ Alex truly regretted her actions.

‘I see why Greg was so cool with me; I guess I saw Trudy at his office earlier, she seemed to be forcing herself on him; not that I care. It means I was the one who was at fault and I need to apologize’ Amanda said.

Greg deserved an apology; she had tainted his name and called him all sort of things.

‘That would be cool, so are we good’? Alex winked.

‘Sure. But we need to find me a new job cause there’s no way in hell, I would work with Nathan’ Amanda rolled her eyes.

‘What’s the rush? Greg sent you a lot of money, you could use it for now’? Alex suggested.

‘Um, about that, he sent me half a million this morning; that’s why I had gone to his office to thrash things out. I don’t need his money or his pity. I am returning everything. At least, if things get worse, I have a wealthy friend’ she winked.

‘I am always here Mandy, I love you’ Alex squeezed her hand.

‘I love you too Alex and I am very happy for you’ Amanda smiled.

She had made up her mind to return everything that belonged to Greg; she had returned Lucy first, now she would return his money. She needed to move on with her life; Greg was never going to return her feelings.

‘We did it darling, now Beecroft is mine’ Nathan walked in with two glasses and a bottle of red wine.

‘How did you pull that off’? Trudy raised her brows. She was surprised Nathan had another plan aside what they’d at first.

‘High level forgery, that’s all you need to know. I have planned this for a long time since I came. I got Greg’s signature the day he signed the papers my father tricked him to. I studied and reproduced it. There’s nothing Greg or anyone could say to absolve him. I am happy it worked, now the company is rightfully mine’ Nathan poured himself a drink.

The scene at Beecroft played back in his brain. He had felt so happy at the sight of Greg’s sunken eyes; he had won; now conquering his princess was the only thing left.

‘Um, so I met Greg today, he said he would call; should I go on with our plan’? Trudy caressed his head.

‘Of course, we need to make everything believable, so if he manages to come out of one, he would still have another problem, do you understand’? Nathan caressed her face.

‘I do darling, he should be in a very bad mood, knowing him very well, he would be drunk and alone; the right time to strike’ Trudy kissed her lover’s lips.’

‘Good and then you take pictures and videos and released them to the press. It would be a hit story’ Nathan smiled.

‘Yes honey. Yes. It would be a hit story’ Trudy planted another kiss on his head and trotted out.

‘Bye princess’ he waved at her and quickly recollected himself . Only one was worthy of that name, he couldn’t wait to see her the next day.
