Secrets (COMPLETED)

Vengeance

Sabrina's POV:
I took a deep breath when the elevator ringed saying I was at my requested floor. Today was my first day back at the office, the day after everything had happened. After being around my family and laughs and love, Ethan slipped my mind until I woke up today. I wanted to forget everything that had happened, but every time I thought of him I thought of what he lied to me about. I thought of how he wrapped his arms around Violet to help her after what she did to us, to him. Every time I thought of him it felt like I was peeling off a scab.

I walked out of the closed space and into the cool and bright workplace. I shivered at how cold it was, but quickly walked to my desk. People said hello to me as I organized my station. I looked up and smiled and said hello back, but I wish I could tell them what happened. I wanted to tell someone who wasn't a victim of Lola's actions what had happened. I wanted to see Monica, and tell her everything, but you can't trust anyone. Who knows what she'll do or how she'll react if she knows the truth? After all, Lola was her friend too.

I didn't want to, but I needed to do this or it would bother me all day. I slowly turned my head around to see if Ethan was already present in his office. I let out a relived breath as he wasn't in yet, and I hope to God I don't see him when he does. Once I had everything in place, I sat in my cushion roller chair, and put on my headpiece to answer Ethan's calls. Another day in the office.

Today was busy as I was getting phone calls, emails, and claims left to right. I almost didn't have time to take my lunch break I was so busy, but I liked being occupied especially during times like this. Times where Ethan and I weren't on good terms.

He came in an hour after me, for I could see him from the side of my eye. He looked exhausted and drained as he stepped off the elevator, but when he saw me sitting at my desk straight ahead, his shoulders slumped more. When I thought he was going to bother me, I spoke louder in the earpiece and typed faster on the keyboard, so he would know I was too busy for his excuses. He put his head down and continued the walk to his office. I hope he knows not to talk or come near me today unless it's business related. I hope he knows how much pain he's caused me. I hope he knows.

"Hey buttercup," Monica said before she sat on my desk.

"What's cookin good lookin?" I asked next, yet I never took my eyes away from the screen.

I had to finish writing and forwarding these emails, or more would come in, and they would never get done.

"Wanna go out for lunch?" She asked me.

"No I gotta eat here. I got this work to do."

"I understand."

I fell back in my chair and took off my earpiece once I was done sending the last email that needed to be spent before new ones before piling in. I could somewhat relax now as all I needed to do was read over the claims, highlight the main points, then give them to Ethan.

"Ethan wore you out upstate huh?" She asked me.

I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't when all I could think about who Ethan really is. I smiled instead and looked at her.

"You could say that," I told her.

"It's okay I know what happened?" She said so casually I almost didn't know what she meant.

The hairs on the back of my neck stick straight up. I looked at her in great amazement and cloudiness at her statement. She was holding a smirk at me like this was normal, but how did she know about this? I moved and rolled in my chair to get closer to her.
"You do?"
