Chapter 7 Choosing Sides

Sam glanced at the setting sun, and then towards her watch. It was nearly six in the evening. She had spent the whole day thinking of what she was going to do and now it was time to do the correct thing for once in her life. She lifted her chin in determination as she patted her hair lightly making sure it was still in its immaculate bun. She smoothed over her dark skirt and blouse then started towards the house.

She was sure if he saw her making an effort that he would forgive her. She tried to ignore the little voice in her head telling her she didn’t really want to do this. That her father and her job could all go to hell. She stiffened, and told herself resolute. “No, this is the correct thing to do; this is what I should do. I need to stop acting like a stupid child who thinks she knows better than everyone else,” Sam told herself quietly as she walked towards the elegant door of her childhood home. Her plan of coming to him had to work, if it didn’t she didn’t know what she was going to do.

She knocked on the door and her father opened the door almost as if he was expecting her. “What may I do for you?” he asked coldly and Sam gave him a pleading look. “I thought I made myself clear yesterday!” He snapped and Sam lowered her head nibbling on her lip feeling so ashamed of herself.

Her father stood there in silence for a moment and looking at her intensely as if he was examining her soul. “What about David Andrews?” He asked and she shook her head side to side slowly.

“I have told him it was a mistake. I realize that I was only thinking of myself and not of how it would affect you or the company. I will longer see him outside the office,” she explained feeling her heart ached as she said it but she tried to swallow the pain. He opened the door wider so she could come in and she knew he had forgiven her.

“Well then that will be not at all. I fired him today,” her father told her as he closed the door and Sam’s head shot up in surprise.

“You’re fired him?” She asked and her father eyed her with suspicion. “I mean I thought the company really needed him,” Sam added trying to sound like she didn’t care whether David was fired or not.
