It would be so easy to get revenge on him right now; to make sure that he regretted that he was sitting across the desk from me, trying to take my job away from me.
It's not as though I think I didn't screw up, I know that I did. I know that people have died because of me but I also know that I don't need this thrown back in my face. I've done a good job of running the centre, that's why Jordan left me in charge, he knew I was capable. And even though I don't think that all the time I have to believe that it's true because, otherwise, everything will crumble down around me.
It will start crumbling if Richard shares my job. Then he'll take my job and then I won't have anything left.
So it would be easy to get revenge on him right now; to make sure that he knows he can't boss me about, that he can't exile me so simply. I could tell him about Isabelle right now but I can't bring myself to do it, at least not right now.
So I just sign the papers, safe in the knowledge that I still have the ability to get my revenge against him for double-crossing me.
