The Affair

Chapter 8.1 - Old Wounds

Wednesday, June 8, 2022, 1:20pm

On the following Wednesday, Amy meets with Meagan in her office hoping that she could exploit her role as head of HR to gather some sort of information that she could use against Fallon. Fallon now knew she could use Colin against her, and it appeared that she was willing to follow through with her threat. At any comment that Amy had made against Fallon, she responded by flirting with Colin. And, worse yet, Colin appeared to be enjoying the whore's attention. As the days progressed, she continued to court Colin, leaving Amy frustrated and agitated that the balance of power was out of her hands.

Now in Meagan's office, Amy presses Meagan for information.

"Come on, just give me something..." Amy says, perching both hands on the edge of Meagan's desk.

"I can't! I could get fired. Not to mention it's straight up illegal," she argues back, crossing her arms.

Amy groans. "Oh my god, it's not like I'm going to tell anyone... You're being difficult for no reason," she rebuttals.

"Amy, please don't make me do this..." Meagan says with an exasperated tone.

"Okay, fine. Can you at least tell me one thing? Like... where did she go to school?" she asks, starting to pace the area in front of the desk.

Meagan sighs, feeling increasingly uncomfortable abiding by Amy's commands. She did not want to get involved with Amy and Fallon's feud any longer but also knew Amy would make things difficult for her if she gave her nothing. Meagan looks at her computer screen with pursed lips; on the screen was Fallon's personal records, and she opens a file containing Fallon's educational transcripts, ready to acquiesce to Amy's demands.

"Look, I don't want to be involved in this anymore. Okay? I'll tell you where she went to school but that's it. You're going too far with this. Why don't you just leave her alone? You're tormenting this poor girl, and she—" she explains before being cut off by Amy's outburst.

"Oh, fuck her! She's in Will's office right now, probably on her knees stuffing his cock down her throat as we speak," Amy fires back, making a lewd hand gesture. "He treats her like she's his little pet and she acts like it too, it's so goddamn obvious that they're fucking, and I'm gonna prove it." Amy then stops pacing and turns to Meagan. "If you don't want to help me, FINE, but just remember what I told you before..." she ends with a dreadful glare.

Meagan recoils in her seat, both nervous and frustrated by Amy's implication. "That's not fair, Amy... Please leave my husband out of this..." she mutters, a memory of a certain night coming to her mind.

With her stare fixed on Meagan behind her desk, Amy again leans over her desk. "Then tell me where THE FUCK that bitch went to school..."

With a defeated sigh, Meagan answers, "Louisiana State University."

"Ugh, I already know that! She has a banner hanging up on her wall from that swampy-ass university. Where did she go to high school, Meagan!? HIGH SCHOOL!" she repeats with an agitated voice.

Meagan scoffs. "OH MY GOD, would you frickin' relax!? It says here that she went to Columbus High School." Meagan pauses for a moment as she reads through a curious note in her high school transcripts. "Hmm... Interesting... It also shows that she went to Columbus County Alternative Academy. Judging by the timeline, she must have switched schools sometime during her freshman year. Looks like she went back to Columbus High for her junior year and then stayed through graduation," she explains, feeling guilty that she was aiding in Amy's schemes.

"Columbus... Ohio?" Amy asks.

"Georgia."

"Interesting..."
