Chapter 7 Sweet Vengeance

Emma barely swallowed, glanced sideways at her son, who was too uncomfortable, and felt ridiculous standing in front of the woman he was married to and apparently never wanted.

Harrison couldn't take it anymore and went straight for Olivia. He got so close to her, that he completely surprised her, she wanted to faint when she felt his breathing and her nerves played a trick on her "I loved the scent of her ex-husband"

"What do you mean by all this, woman?" Harrison asked defiantly, Olivia held his gaze, but it was as if he had lost his speech, he couldn't mumble a word.

She took two steps back and let out a hypocritical smile, trying to persuade the situation.

"Well, dear Harrison, I don't pretend to do anything that can't help you, don't eat cravings! Please sit down.

Harrison's cheeks flushed and he wanted to run away, but if he looked at his schedule of opportunities, all his spaces were empty. So, against his will, he returned to his post.

"Well, for my dear ex-mother-in-law, there is a very important position in the company, which obviously, without the execution of its functions, we would not be so productive.

Emma opened her eyes excitedly. "Oh yes?" What's it about, my dear?

—Of course, due to your little experience in the area of systems and with full certainty that you don't even know how to turn on a computer, you will be the head of the cafeteria, your job will be to guide the service employees in the kitchen, and the preparation of coffee for everyone in the company, because you know how to prepare coffee, right? She asked sarcastically 

Emma turned pale, putting her hand to her breast, she never imagined she would be subjected to such humiliation, and wrinkled her nose.

"What? Are you crazy?" I'm a woman of high birth, I should at least have a position as a manager, you're insolent! Emma glared angrily at Olivia

"That's what it is, now for Joshua, I know you've been a great businessman, but your addiction to gaming has been what led you to bankruptcy, obviously I can't put you in a high position, because I don't trust you, so my option, is that you be the head of security,  You should guide the company's security department. Olivia smiled at him with satisfaction

Joshua blinked a couple of times and shook his head, "Don't even dream about it Olivia, this must be a joke.

"Of course it's not a joke!" Olivia said, extending her arms. "Little Megan, thanks to her studies and tenacity, has a position as one of my assistants.

Megan, although she didn't agree either, didn't feel bad about the offer and gave him a big smile with the corner of her lips, showing her agreement, she needed to stick the knife into Harrison.

Olivia went to the chair where Harrison was sitting, he was cross-legged and had an imposing tone, she stood in front of him and let him see her beautiful charms, he barely raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze away so as not to be reckless.

"And your Harrison, well, if you accept, you'll be the company's business advisor, you'll have a basic salary and commissions for the business you get, I know you're too much of a charlatan and a perfect trickster," Olivia spoke to him with irony and some pain.

Harrison glared at her furiously, his stomach churning with his own bile, he got up almost pushing her, zipped his jacket and with his arm ran her to the side

"Forget that you're going to humiliate me and my family like that, it was a fucking mistake to come and see you Olivia, I'd rather starve to death."

"Wait! I haven't told you your wages yet," Olivia told them in a funny tone, Harrison squeezed his eyes shut angrily and snorted

"You're not going to keep giving yourself the luxury of humiliating us

"Look, here they are," Olivia handed him a sheet with the working conditions, when Harrison began to read, what she offered to pay was exaggerated for the positions she offered them, incredulous she returned the paper.

Olivia smiled at him and looked at him again.

"Aren't you interested?" Emma shaved the blade off to see what was on it, and looked surprised

"What?" Are you going to pay us for all this? Or is it a joke on your part? Emma asked, gaping

"A joke?" Ma'am, I'm a very serious person, I shouldn't have to play with these things. Olivia took the sheet from him again. "But if you're not interested, the door is open and behind your stall, a hundred resumes.

Harrison took his mother's hand and looked contemptuously at Olivia.

"We're not interested in your bad intentions, thanks for the offer, let's go!"

Olivia raised her eyebrow, and at a fine pace went to her desk again, Emma looked at her son, and with her eyes full of pleading, suggested that they accept, but her pride was so great that he refused.

The Martenses left Olivia's office, although she had every intention of taking revenge on them and had to do in large part with the bankruptcy of their company, she felt bad about Harrison's rejection, she wanted to have him close to be able to control her movements, to actually know the person who was her husband, and why not? Ask him why he hurt you so much.

Meanwhile, outside their office, the Martenses got into an argument.

"How about that maniacal woman?" How he treated us, son—Emma's hands were shaking

"Mom, we knew what we were up against, let's get out of this company, let's get something to eat, who has money?"

The Martens looked at each other, and they all shook their heads, their cards were collapsed, and their cash was gone.

"I don't," Megan said. "What's more, I never load money, I always use my card, but it's canceled

"Least of me!" repeated Joshua. "All my cash is gone

"Don't even look at me Harrison, I used only cards and they're all cancelled.

Harrison sighed, and looked at his watch, they hadn't eaten a bite all morning and his stomach was rumbling, besides the stress he was going through, hunger gave him more of a bad temper.

"Then let's go to the apartment, we must prepare something to eat there." We also have to look at what we can sell to survive.

"What? Cooking?" Emma made a gesture of disgust. That's for the poor, let's go to a fine restaurant

"Mom, we're broke, we have to go to the apartment and see what we can sell, what we can solve at least to eat." Harrison headed toward the elevator, but the rest of his family stayed behind him. "What's wrong?" Come on

"No, Harrison, we're not leaving here," Emma crossed her arms, "We're going to starve, we'll have to take the job Olivia offers us, at least for a while."

Harrison looked around in embarrassment and went straight to his mother.

"No, Mom! That we won't, I told you so

Emma took his arm and squeezed it      

"Listen to me Harrison, this family depends only on you, we can accept their job offer, while you with your seductive demeanor and your conquering air recover their heart, when you manage to keep some of their money so that we can start again, you can go fuck yourself again if you want

"You're crazy, Mom!" Let me

"You're crazy!! That you think life is easy, now we're going to knock on your ex-wife's door, and we're going to accept her proposal.

"Look, mom, we'll do it because we don't have any other options right now, but that doesn't mean I'm going to win her back, forget about that, we'll try for just one month, and we'll see what happens.

Emma smiled contentedly, while Joshua just shook his head, he had no say in the family, Megan loved the idea, she admired her ex-sister-in-law. The four of them went back to Olivia's office, Emma knocked twice and eagerly waited for her to open the door.

Olivia, through her security camera, realized that it was them, she crossed her hands on her desk and happily, gave them the order to enter, she for her part was so loaded with pain and desire for revenge, that she would make them pay for what they did to her, however, the Martens did not have good intentions either.
