The Pact

Chapter 11

Morning rolled around too quickly for Zach, half a bottle of whiskey at 2 in the morning was not the way ahead when you had to get up for work at 6 if he wanted a run, 6:30 if he didn't. Today was definitely not an exercise day.

Lunch however took its sweet time, when Zach did eventually get to work. He spent the whole day watching the clock, waiting for 12 so he could go; he had a very important lunch that he wanted to get over and done with. When lunch finally came around he almost sprinted out of his office and to the elevators in the lobby. He waited patiently for the doors to open, they were on the 27th floor, and it wasn't worth walking down all those flights of stairs.

"Mrs Courtney Trevelyan, I'm here to see my lawyer, I think I've been given Mr Weinburg," a soft voice said to the receptionist. Zach recognised that last name, but he couldn't place it. Then as the elevator doors pinged open it came to him, Dr Dickhead's last name was Trevelyan, she must be his wife. Emmy had mentioned she had referred to him as her ex-husband, so she must be filing for divorce after his recent infidelity. It bugged slightly him that she was filing so quickly, either their marriage was already rocky and she had already been consider it or she had known for a while about the affair. Either way he wanted her to take Justin to the cleaners and no way would that happen with Weinburg. Zach spun on his heels and approached reception, he was going to be slightly late for lunch, but he didn't care anymore.

"Samantha, please put Mrs Trevelyan on Grey's account, Senior not Junior," Zach addressed the receptionist, not even giving Mrs Trevelyan a passing glance as he did so.

"Excuse me, do I know you," she addressed him, annoyed that he had stuck his nose in her business. Zach just shook his head at Courtney, she was a pretty woman, but no matter how much make up she put on or nice clothes she wore, she would never be more than pretty. "Then why are you poking your nose into my affairs?" she pushed, her grey eyes narrowing at him.

"You don't know me, but I know Justin and I know of you and what he did, and I want you to take that cheating dirty bag to the cleaners. I want you to get every last penny and the nice flat in the village and the lovely place I'm sure you two have outside of the city. That won't happen with Weinburg, but Grey senior will bleed that bastard dry and then some. He will go to the grave in debt to you if that is what you want." Zach explained, before leaving just as quickly as he came. He was going to catch hell from Grey, but he was as much of a name partner as Grey was, so he could do this one favour for him.

"You're in love with that Doctor, Emma, aren't you?" Courtney shouted after him, it made him smile that even Courtney remembered her name after only meeting her once. That was the power of Emmy. However Zach just kept walking, and into the open elevator, as Grey senior got off. He furiously pressed the close doors button of the elevator as Samantha informed Grey of the new client curtsy of him. The door closed to Grey glaring at him, his steel eyes throwing daggers that were mostly deflected by the doors of the elevator. Grey would thank him later when he won and got the massive pay check coming his way.

Emmy's eyes slowly opened to see 17:37 flashing on her alarm clock. She closed her eyes and rolled over before the time really sunk in.

"Shit," Emmy started to curse like a sailor as she realised she had slept though pretty much her entire shift. She jumped out of her bed and ran to her lounge, the sight of the empty bottles in her living room made her feel queasy; she remembered the Jack, but not the José Cuervo or Captain Morgan. Emmy turned her attention back to the task at hand, and went to her pick up her home phone. One of her little pink post it notes was stuck to the receiver.

"Don't worry about work, I've already called for you, Z," Emmy read it aloud to herself, she was scared that she wouldn't understand words if she didn't. Emmy smiled at the note, she liked having Zach back in her life, and she hoped it was for good, she had missed him. Her stomach growled, begging for food, but she smelled like she had slept quite literally inside a distillery. The smell was putting her off her food, so she decided that she needed to shower before she ate.
