The Forgotten Heiress Chapter 32
There was absolutely nothing little about what he did to me.I stared at him in disbelief.Dexter looked away briefly before meeting my gaze again.“I don’t think humiliating me the way you did that day is little, sir. You called me names. I pleaded for a second chance, but you refused.”I said trying to control the anger burning inside of me.“You also insulted me.” He raised a brow. “Doesn’t that make us even? I mean, I’m your boss. What employee insults their boss? Yet I’m willing to turn a blind eye to that.”This was manipulation at its highest level.“The reason I called you here is that I want to correct what happened that day.”I slowly sat back in my chair. My heart suddenly started beating faster.“What do you mean?”He looked at me, serious.“I want you back.”Something about the way he said it didn’t sit right with me.“You want me back?” I repeated.“Yes. As my assistant,” he added calmly.Yes!I screamed inside my head.My plan was back on track. I couldn’t wait to tell Bl

Did he just greet me?Dexter had always had this nasty habit of not responding to greetings. For the few days I had worked here, he had never once replied.Dexter’s eyes remained on me for a few seconds before he pointed at the chair.“Sit.”I sat down carefully, crossing my legs.Dexter returned his attention to the laptop.The sound of his fingers tapping against the keyboard somehow irritated me.One minute passed.Then two.I sat there awkwardly wondering why he hadn’t said anything.He asked for this meeting, didn’t he?So why the silence?His silence was getting on my nerves.I wanted to get this over with so I could finally know my fate.I cleared my throat, getting impatient, but he still didn’t flinch.“You asked for me, sir,” I finally said.“Hmmm.”His eyes remained on the screen.If he knew this was what he would be doing, then he shouldn’t have called for the meeting.I stared at him.Was he doing this on purpose?Did he call me here just to ignore me?My fingers tightene

I could barely sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, Dexter’s angry face appeared in my head.Honestly, I didn’t know what was going on.Was it the fear of the unknown?Or the fact that I had heard from Dexter again?I just kept rolling around on the bed, restless, wondering if morning was ever going to come.Time was moving slower than usual.At some point around three in the morning, I gave up trying to sleep and just stared at the ceiling.A few minutes later, I stood up and began pacing around my room.This was torture.He shouldn’t have sent me that email.I had been sleeping well these past two days before it came.“Athena, why are you this anxious?” I muttered to myself.Maybe Blake was right.Maybe Dexter wanted to give me my job back.“You must be kidding.”I said it out loud and immediately shook my head.“Don’t give yourself hope.”If Blake hadn’t convinced me that it was better to go and know what was happening than sit at home drowning in curiosity, I would have stayed back

“Athena.”June waved her hand in front of my face.I lowered the phone and looked at them. They had walked back to where I was.“Yes?” I managed to say.“What happened?” June frowned. “One minute we were laughing and the next you’re looking like you’ve seen a ghost.”“It’s nothing. Let’s go.” I tried to move, but July blocked my path.“It can’t be nothing.” July’s eyes narrowed as she glanced at the phone in my hand. “What did you see?”I quickly slipped the phone back into my pocket.“You’re acting funny, Athena,” July said, studying me carefully.I stared at them. They both looked confused and worried.I didn’t want to upset them.“It’s nothing, girls. My boss wants me to run some errands for him despite being on leave,” I lied.June immediately frowned.“Oh, he must really be a jerk. You’re not the only staff in the company. Why bother you on your break?” she hissed.I forced out a small laugh.“He is really a jerk. Let’s go.”We continued walking, but I felt restless. Dexter had b

The park was a bit more crowded than usual. Children were running around, playing on swings, and participating in different games. Some couples sat under trees while others walked their dogs.I sat on the bench, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. Coming here wasn’t a bad idea after all.“Athena!” June yelled my name from the ice cream truck. “Strawberry or vanilla?”“She likes both,” July replied before I could answer.“Didn’t ask you though.” June shot July a look.“You girls are still going to fight over ice cream?” I asked, shaking my head.A few minutes later, they were both done ordering and walking back to me.“Here you go. Vanilla and strawberry, just as you wanted.” June stretched out her hand and gave it to me.“Thank you.”I noticed she had three flavors in hers.“How do you always get the workers to give you three flavors when the highest you can get is two?”“Well, who would say no to this face?” June placed both hands under her chin and gave me a wink.“Oh please.” J

Two days had passed since I lost my job and the life of Mia Roberts ended.I kept the wig and everything I used for my disguise locked up in my wardrobe seeing them made me more angry.The twins had asked why I hadn’t been going to work, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell them I was fired.They were genuinely happy about the new job.Even though I knew it wasn’t really a real job for me, it was just a means to get what I wanted from the El Caminos.They didn’t know that.For them, their big sister could finally take a break from jumping from one part-time job to another.As for Dexter, I hadn’t heard any news from his company.The only information I got was from HR.An email was sent to me that very day while I was having lunch with Blake.A termination of my contract as Dexter’s assistant.Not a day had gone by in these past two days that I didn’t think about how I could have done that job better.Maybe I should have searched the office one more time.Did I even check the car proper
