Chapter 20 - THE Leave...

"I seduced him." I sit with my back straight, hands placed neatly on my knees staring straight into Evaleen's eyes. She smiles and shakes her head letting out a little laugh.

"I don't believe you."

"I did. I ... uh ... I knew you would be looking for me to go out for lunch and I did my sexy thing and you know how it goes. So there you are. Fire me." My explanation is not going over well with Evaleen despite the complete logic of it. I sense my Brain pacing back and forth, screaming "NO" at me.

"Sounds good Drake, but the thing is I know you and you like Payne. I don't understand WHY you like him, but you do. You aren't some money grubbing woman or cutthroat she-beast who will do anything to get to the top. I like you Drake because you are a hard worker and an honest person. The only thing I can't understand is why you are lying right now?"

"I'm not lying."

I'm lying. I'm crazy-tell-everyone-your-kid-is-stuck-in-a-weather-balloon-for-fame lying. I didn't know Evaleen would walk in on us. Actually I had totally forgotten about our lunch date. I wasn't exactly thinking of food at that moment.

But watching Henrik throw everything he has worked over a decade for away, and knowing how truly valuable he is to this company I just couldn't have him losing his job over this. Oh, and also my stupid heart thought it was romantic or something. "Books are written about such things Morgana," my Heart moans, looking starry eyed out the window. "Yeah, but I haven't written a book, Heart, so where are the royalties to support me through this?" She shrugs her shoulder, "I don't know. Personal finance isn't my problem." Figures.

Evaleen mumbles something under her breath and turns to her computer to start typing. After a minute I hear the printer perk up behind her and she walks over to grab the paper coming out. Finally she places the print out in front of me.

"This is a statement of what you and Payne have told me about the incident. Please sign the bottom if you agree that it is accurate and true. Upon signing you as well as Payne will be put on leave without pay until an investigation can prove what you say is true."

She is holding a pen out in front of me and my hands shake as I grab it. My eyes glance over the type on the page but I can't make out the words as my eyes blur from unshed tears and my head begins to throb. Nervously I sign and hand everything back to Evaleen.

"Well, I guess this means no lunch then." I try to joke but my voice is shaky.

"No, I have too much work to do now and I have to talk to the Mimir brothers about this. Mr. Payne has already left the building, so you can go and grab your things. Unfortunately you will need to leave immediately. Do you want me to walk out with you, Morgana?"

Oh god she used my first name .
