No Happy Endings
Summary: Court gets a surprise at work thanks to Kathryn.
Chapter 3: Delicious Revenge
"No it's fine, I'll just get one of the little office drones to cover. I'll meet you on the coarse in an hour."
"Keeping busy?"
Court looked up from his desk and saw Kathryn standing by the door with a small smile on her face. He was surprised to say the least. After the previous night he was sure Kathryn would never go near him again, but here she was standing in his office wearing one on her short little skirts. "Kathryn, this is a surprise. I thought you would be pissed after last night."
She walked over to the chair across from him and sat down. "Oh I was but I got over it. I understand that you really weren't yourself."
Court smiled, surprised by her change in attitude. "I knew you would understand. You know I didn't mean what I said Kat I was just thrown by you marring Valmont. I would never guess in a million years that you two would get together."
"Yes it came as quite a shock to everyone."
"So what brings you by today?"
"Well I missed you Court and I thought maybe we could have lunch or something today" she replied in a sexy voice. Kathryn got up from her seat and slowly walked over to the desk and leaned against it.
As she stood next to him Court got a good view of just how short her skirt was and how soft her legs where. He could feel his dick growing as he thought of all the things he use to do to her and all the things he wanted to do. He wondered if she was still easy. Probably. Valmont was most likely boring her all ready and she was looking for a good time. Well he would be more than happy to give her one. "I missed you too Kathryn." He placed his hand on her thigh and massaged it. He was surprised when she didn't attempt to move his hand away.
"Lunch?"
He grinned at her "why don't we eat in?" Before Kathryn could answer Court's secretary Margie burst into the room. Court glared at her angrily "what the fuck do you want?"
"Sir, Mr. Phillips and the board just called an emergency meeting. They said it was imperative that come right away."
"Fine" Court groaned as he got up. He didn't want to go and leave Kathryn especially when she was so willing to give into him, but this was business. "Can you wait here? I'm sure this will only be a few minutes."
"Sure I'll be waiting"
* * * * * *
"You can't fire me! I'm the CEO!"
After several minutes of politeness the board had finally disclosed the real reason they had called this meeting. They were letting him go because apparently the stocks hadn't been progressing the way they had hoped. Like that was his fault. No way was he leaving without a fight. "Court we have been discussing this for sometime. The company isn't where it should be. And we have reached a consensus that it would be best for everyone if we replaced you."
"But I'm in charge. You can't just vote me out!"
"Yes we can if we have enough votes. I'm sorry Court."
"I can sue! My father is one of the top lawyers in the country. You can't just drop me because you don't like the work I'm doing. I haven't even been at this job that long."
"Court I think you know the real reason for this."
"No I don't. What's the real reason?"
"It has to do with your little problem. It's getting out of hand."
"What little problem."
"The drugs and alcohol. It's been getting worse. You were completely drunk at the Valmont party the other night and I even overheard you attacked one of the guests. You're lucky they didn't press charges. If this got leaked to the press it wouldn't look good for the company and I think your father would agree. I'm sorry Court but we would like you to leave right away."
Court's head was reeling form all of this. His little problem? He drank only as much as the next guy and who exactly did he attack? "This is bullshit. I don't have a drinking problem and I don't do drugs. I don't know where you're getting this. And I certainly didn't attack anyone at that party. They're lying."
"We heard it from a very reliable source."
"Yeah right. I'm going to fight this" he walked out of the room and headed to his office. He wouldn't let them get rid of him so easily. When he approached his office he noticed that the door was wide open which was strange because he never left it open. When he stepped inside there were about five people in there moving his things. "What the hell do you think your doing?'
A young guy about his age looked up at him "we were told to remove your things."
"By who?"
"That would be me" Kathryn who had been sitting in his chair facing the wall, swung around to face him. He had almost completely forgotten about her.
"Baby, what are you talking about? Why would you have them get rid of my things?"
"Jesus, you're a moron. No wonder you got fired."
"How did you know I got fired? And why did you tell them to move my stuff."
"Because I don't want it in MY office."
"Your office?"
"Yes Kathryn is our new CEO" Phillips said as he came up behind him.
"What! You're replaying her with me?"
"Yes" replied Kathryn as she got up from her seat and walked up to him. "Before my father passed away it was always his dream that I take over where he left off."
Court snickered "you don't know anything about running a company."
"Actually my father taught me everything I needed to know before he died. Remember how I use to come to the office with him once a week? He used the time to show me how things work. I learned pretty fast and I was helping him run things right up until his death. I was always planning on coming back as soon as I finished school."
"You bitch! You knew about this the whole time! Coming in here apologizing for last night-"
"Apologizing?" Kathryn interrupted "Why would I apologize? You're the one who attacked me. Court have you been drinking again?"
"Drinking?" It suddenly dawned on him where the board had gotten the idea that he was a drunk. She had done it. Kathryn had done it all, even telling them he had attacked her. They had of course believed her because she was the almighty Kathryn Merteuil. Perfect in every way, she who could do no wrong. She was the reason he was fired and she was the reason he would be humiliated Monday morning.
"You goddamn bitch!" Court screamed as he lunged for her. "You did this to me! You lying, whoring, cunt!" Before Court could get his hands on her he felt two strong sets of hands on him, pulling him away. Court recognized them as belonging to security.
Kathryn backed away from him quickly wearing a horrified expression on her face. "Court I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you" she replied softly.
"I'm going to get you for this, you and your fucking husband! Your dead understand me?!"
"Court that is enough" Philips replied. "Take him out of here now and Court I don't want to here about you harassing her or else I'll involve the police in this."
"Fuck you! I mean it Kathryn you're fucking dead!" As Court screamed obscenities at the newly appointed CEO he was dragged from the office and thrown out.
* * * * * *
As Kathryn arrived home she was nearly giddy with delight. Her day had gone even better than expected. She arrived early at the company for the secret board meeting. She had announced to them her intentions to take her fathers place and also causally mentioned Court and his drinking problem. They were more than willing to vote her in as CEO especially when she let it drop that Court had attacked her last night. They had bought every last word of it. Kathryn has then gone to Courts office and apologized for turning him down the other night. Fucking idiot was more than willing to believe that she still wanted him. Thank god the board had called the meeting when they did she didn't think she would be able to handle Courts hands on her one moment longer.
When Court was away Kathryn had called the office assistance's in to take out his stuff. His reaction when he returned had been priceless. It took him forever to figure out what was going on and when he finally did it had been worth it. The asshole had completely lost it! Screaming, swearing, threatening her. He had even tried to take a swing at her with other people present no less. She should really consider suing him for that. It would be fun to kick him when he was down. Kathryn now had everything she wanted. The job, the husband, the house, everything was falling into place.
As she entered her new home she asked one of the maids if Sebastian was in yet but they said he had called and told them to tell her he would be running late. That was perfect for what she had planned. Kathryn was in such a good mood that she decided she would give Sebastian a little welcome home surprise in the form of her in a little black nighty.
Kathryn went to her bedroom and quickly changed into the nightgown and put on a small robe over it. She went to the kitchen to get some wine and when she returned there was someone waiting for her: Court.
"Hey, cutie. We need to talk."
