Her Revenge Contract
Chapter 72

Katherine's POV

Rumors had it that my cousin had decided to return to work, and just to check if Sarah had become more loyal toward me, I told her I was leaving for lunch and would be out for a while. Not that I have gone far; I met up with Xavier in Steven's office.

I wasn't gone too long when Kelly spotted Erika on her way to my floor, and she mind link Xavier to tell him the news.

Well, that's my cue," I said, kissed Xavier on the cheek, and rushed out of the office.

I was just in time to see the interaction with the girls.

"Sarah, is Kate in the office?" Erika asked as she quietly walked up to Sarah.

Erika had been home for a while, and when she eventually got permission to return to work, she wasn't as welcomed by her peers as before.

"No, Ms. Kate had gone out to eat. She won't be back until later today," Sarah replied.

Erika rolled her eyes upon hearing that.

"I heard that there is a contract drawn up between us and Black Umbrella that has not been signed yet. My dad is anxious to see it. Let me have it, or can you tell me where it is?" When Sarah heard this, she leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms around her chest.

"I don't know," she answered. "Ms. Kate prepared the contract herself, and I don't know where she has filed it."

"Oh, very well," Erika said, "then I will go and look for it myself."

Before Sarah could stop Erika, she rushed into my office and locked the door behind her.

I sighed out of annoyance and crossed my arms as I walked closer.

Erika rummaged through my office, and papers were flying in all directions.

"Seriously!" I sneered. "Can't she make a mess somewhere else?"

"If I can change you once, I can change you twice!" Erika chanted happily from my office. I guess she found the contract under my keyboard. "Kate, you can go to hell!"

I watched Erika as she swapped the papers on the contract, grabbed all the papers that she had thrown around, and tried to create order.

When she was satisfied, she pulled her dress straight and walked toward the door.

Erika's face whitened out of shock when she opened the door, seeing me standing and waiting for her. She surely didn't expect me to be back so soon.

"Cousin, I haven't seen you for such a long time, and I see your nose is still swollen. I almost didn't recognize you," I mocked.

Erika's gaze darkened, and she subconsciously wiped her nose.

"Cousin, you are so self-conscious; you don't need to worry; your nose looks perfect."

Erika thought I was praising her, and she stood up straight.

Sarah gave her a death glare and came and closed the door behind me.

I walked toward my table, saw that my keyboard was moved, grabbed the documents, and threw them into the shredder.

"Cousin, it's been so long," I said, shaking my head. "Haven't you learned? After all the things you have done to me, did you believe I would still leave the real contract so open?"

Erika looked upset and glared at me.

"If what you say is true, why didn't you use the document as proof and expose me?" She asked, "Or post it online so that you can get sympathy online?"

I shook my head. I was tired of Erika's brainless games. I simply pointed to the camera directly above my desk and used my phone to call up the footage when she changed the documentation.

"If you want to expose someone or post it online, video footage is more convincing than a document, don't you think?"

Erika turned red out of anger, glanced at the camera above my head, turned on her heels, and started to rush out of my office.

Two steps down the line, Erika's high heels broke, and she yelped out in pain.

"Do you want me to help you up?" I asked coldly, knowing that she would try and do something funny again.

"No need!" She answered angrily, looking at the camera facing her.

Erika quickly gets up and pretends it doesn't matter, picks up a high heel, and stalks out of my office.

I casually followed her, taking the stairs, knowing that the chances of her going to John were high.

The second I walked into the hallway, I could hear Erika yelling.

"Dad, do you know what Kate did to me just now?" Erika burst into tears seconds later, and she cried her heart out.

"I went to her office, and she threatened me with video footage. Look at my swallowed ankle; it is all because of her!" Erika cried and showed her swollen foot, and John frowned.

"You have gone to her office?" John asked coldly.

Erika saw John's face turn gray, and Erika turned, asking Rose for help.

Rose hurried to Erika's side and hugged her.

"Don't take it out on Erika," Rose growled, defending her daughter.

John's hands balled tightly into fists, and Erika's face flashed a trace of panic. She was obviously scared of her father after the beatings she received from him, and she turned and slipped out after replaceing a gap. I quickly headed back to my office, ensuring that she didn't see me.

It was already after 10 p.m. when I closed the report before me.

I called my driver and made arrangements for him to pick me up in about five minutes, then got up to get my handbag and jacket.

I was about to get into the car when Erika's red sports car passed us and stopped at a red light.

Erika?

This time of night?

Where was she going?

"Follow that red car," I said to the driver, and then I called Xavier.

By the second ring, he had picked up, sounding a bit annoyed that I hadn't come home yet.

"I'm following Erika," I said, hanging up.

Ten seconds later, the driver's phone rang, and he gave Xavier the details.

The red car stopped in front of a bar downtown.

"Pink Flamingo," I read the name out loud, "Isn't this some kind of whorehouse?

I shook the thoughts off and saw Erika get out of her car. She was dressed in a low, shiny red dress that just covered her bottoms.

"Hello, beautiful," the huge security guard said, and his eyes roamed over her perfect body.

"Welcome to Pink Flamingo's; the boss is waiting for you."
