This choice: Candice tests her theory • Go Back...Chapter #9Candice tests her theory by: NVR   "Ha, as if I wanted a fling with someone like him. Good one Candice" Denise snorted "This has been awkward enough already, next time you want to bother me it better be to tell me you aren't fit to be promoted" she told you in a harsh tone and left, clearly unimpressed by this coversation regarding personal matters with someone she wasn't personally interested on at all.
And once again you felt relief and some admiration for your rival. Yes, she treated you like trash, but a lesser person would have taken full advantage of this situation you felt. As disgusted with you as she seemed to be, she wanted to beat you fair and square.
"Well, I guess I should go back to work then. Thanks for the memories James" Candice said, suggesting that she was also willing to let the whole issue go, thank God. She was a lesser person, but maybe her whole beef with you was just to support Denise, or maybe she just understood her place and knew Denise would get angry if she tried anything but whatever. It worked out for you and that's what mattered. In fact, you felt as if you just unloaded an imaginary burden from your shoulders. Your rivals knew about your weakness and nothing happened! Going back to your desk you wondered if this would give you the shot of confidence needed to finally get the desired promotion.
"It is done" such was your confidence you approached Michelle as if she wasn't just blackmailing you earlier and you were back in control.
"What's with that tone? You want a prize or something?" Michelle smirked at you, wiggling her toes and easily disarming you
"Err.." You wanted to have a clever comeback but nothing came to mind because yes, she was right, you wanted a prize indeed.
"Well, if you're still around then it means you haven't harassed anyone I guess, so don't start with me" Michelle warned you and made you blush, you felt like an unruly student in front of a strict teacher instead of a mentor at this point
"Sorry, it won't happen again"
"See that you do Mr. Mentor! Play your cards right and I'll please you, probably" Michelle laughed at you blushing again before hiding her feet from view and going all business. For all her teasing she apparently wanted to actually do well in the office so she stopped distracting you for the time being.
===========
Things seemed to go perfectly with you, Kim approved of your training and Denise even took some paid time off for personal issues, unfortunate as it was it left you a free way to impress and keep earning points towards promotion
"Could you come here James, I need your help" came the unusual request from Candice, maybe without Denise around you could turn her to your side? You were on a roll!
"Sure, what is it?" You walked to her desk and stopped in your tracks when you saw she was barefeet! her high heels laying carelessly at the side, she was slowly rotating her foot and smiling with delight when her movement trapped your gaze immediately
"There are some things you told me and I want to remember" Candice smiled with amusement
