The Last Laugh

Chapter 18

***

That night I returned to the house after a few drinks at a bar. I went up to my room and lay down.

It had been quite a strange day. Having seen Christina, brought back a lot of memories from the past. Bad and traumatising ones. It reminded me of how much I'd been humiliated and maltreated. Christina had to pay. And if Sawyer was still the same annoying person, she would pay for her own part.

As for Heather, I still had to meet her face to face. I needed to see her. Would she recognise me? Was it risky to tell her who I really was when I'd meet her?

I thought and thought.

"I have to get that job offer." I told myself.

Sawyer's POV

Once home, mom and I went to our rooms to change into more comfortable clothes. The chef had cooked a delicious meal. Couldn't wait to eat.

I changed into a pair of tiny shorts and a T-shirt before going downstairs.

Mom was already seated at the table. I joined her.

"What did the chef cook?"

"I don't know but it looks delicious. Probably one of his secret specialities." mom replied, taking the cover off the dish. True that the meal looked delicious.

"Do you know at what time Heather will be back?" she asked

"Well–"

I was interrupted when Heather came into the living room.

"Hi, ma." she kissed my mother and then turned to me, "Hey, cutie" she hugged me.

"Hey." I smiled.

"How was your day, dear?" mom asked when she took a seat.

"It was okay. Hmm, this looks delicious." she referred to the food.

We served ourselves and began eating. Then I remembered all the hot guys that came earlier for the interview. I wondered which mom would chose.

"So ma, who's got the competence to become secretary amongst all those who came?" I asked

"Oh, it was today?" Heather asked.

"Yeah."

"Nice. So mom, have you made your choice?" she asked.

"Um, quite."

"Who?" I asked
