The Last Laugh
Chapter 22
***
Heather's POV:
Shirley convinced me to leave the office and follow her to the mall for a shopping session. I couldn't even refuse in the first place.
"Fine, Shirley. You win."
"Yes! I always do."
I smiled and stood up.
"Yeah, right. Let's go." I got my handbag and we left the office.
"Where are you going?" Sawyer asked, folding her arms, when we met her on the corridor.
"None of your business, Sawyer. Get out of the way." I said, irritated.
"I'm not going anywhere, Heather. Mom said you should never leave work before time. Especially for useless things."
I looked at her.
"And what makes you think I'm going to do something useless?"
"Her." she referred to Shirley.
"Excuse me?? What are you trying to mean?" Shirley asked irritated.
Sawyer smiled provocatively.
"Simply that useless people encourage useless things."
"What?" Shirley made a move for Sawyer but I stepped in the way and angrily stared at Sawyer.
"Sawyer, stop. I respect you enough as my little sister but don't take my leniency for granted."
She frowned.
"So you think I'm taking you for granted, huh?"
"You've always had. And I forgave you every time. Even when you caused me a lot of pain."
Sawyer's brows shot up.
"Great. I guess you're referring to what happened in the past."
"Yes."
She rolled her eyes.
