KATYA POV:

I arrived at work just on time after dropping off Trixie. usually I would be early but Trixie couldn't find her shirt that was hidden away in one of the many boxes cluttering up my-our  living room. Eventually she found it but by then she had to fix her makeup then get dressed and grab her stuff so you could see how I just made it.

I walked into the building making my way to my office waving at co-workers as I passed them. Some of them have know me since I was young, running around my fathers office stealing highlighters to colour with. I know everyone who works here by name and they all know me. At times I feel like they only pretend to like me because I'm their bosses daughter but, I push those thoughts away and try to be kind so they have a genuine reason to like me.

I settled into my office hanging up my coat and logging into my computer. Today was payday so I'll have allot of foot traffic in and out of my office. As I predicted after only 15 minutes I had Pricilla enter my office. She was the secretary of the building and had worked here for years, she practically watched me grow up. She was a small older woman who got the job done and was like a second mother to me after mine died. She comforted me when my father would yell at me and blame me for her death. She also coaxed me out of many revenge plans I had made too.

" Privet ms.Zamolochikova." She said taking a seat across from me.

" Privet Pricilla but please just call me Katya." I insisted already pulling up her file.

" oh Katya always so sweet." She said giving me a soft smile.

" Oh thank you." I smiled back.

" how are things with you dear, you were gone for quite a while there."

" oh you know just extra duties that come along with the job." I said as I printed out her pay stub.

" Katya." She said sternly but also concerned. She placed her hand on top of my as I tried to pass her the time card. " are you safe now? Is what needed to be done, done." She said her voice now lower.

" yes." I whispered trying not to get to emotional about it. I'm not emotional because I feel bad about what I did, its how easy and natural it came to me.

" and you're okay." She asked still not letting my hand go.

" yes." Was all I could reply back. We stayed there neither of us moving. Pricilla obviously didn't believe me, she has known me for years so of course she knows I was lying and she knew how I felt too, she could see the resentment I felt for myself in my clenched mouth and tight posture. She also saw the tears collecting in my eyes. she know how hard I was trying to hold them back too.

The shrill ringing of my work phone interrupted our silent communication making me jump my hand dropping her paper, the tears I tried so hard to hold back spilled but I quickly swiped them away handing her her pay stub.

" you should get that." She said patting my shoulder then standing and leaving.

I reached for the phone and quickly answered not looking at the contact name. " Privet." Was all I said into the phone.

" Ms.Katya your father has requested a meeting in your office are you available." His assistant Aubry asked.

" of course send him down." I replied.

" he will be down around 3:00pm." was all she said before abruptly hanging up.

After Aubry hung up I went back to work people coming in and out of my office for the rest of the day. I was so focused I didn't even realize I worked through my lunch break. 3:00 rolled around and I heard a knock on my door.
