Felicity went into work Monday morning still in her good mood. It was amazing what really good sex could do for your mood. Her alarm went off, her coffee was hot, traffic was light and she made it to work a full 20 minutes before the meeting was to start. She went to her office to get her other computer, before heading into the meeting, she didn't expect to see Oliver in her office, but it was a nice surprise.

"Hey there hansom. Can I help you with something?"

Oliver looked at her and she knew something was very wrong.

"Felicity, I need you to be straight with me and understand I am not accusing you, and I would be in trouble if they new I was here, but I couldn't let you be blindsided in there.

"What's going on?" Felicity could feel her good day going to crap.

"I.. I don't want to ask you this. Felicity, when you were with Ray, did you ever share and QC information with him?"

"WHAT? Oliver of course I didn't"

"Did you develop the software before or after you broke up?"

Felicity was mad and getting madder, what the hell.

"After" Was all she said.

She starred at him like he had lost his mind.

"Is there anything else Mr. Queen. I have a meeting to attend, where I am pretty sure I am getting my ass handed to me, so you will have to excuse me."

"Felicity, its not like that. Palmer, has filed for us to turn over the software to him, well his IT anyway, they are saying you stole it from them, but I don't see how they even know about it at all.

"I have a meeting, Mr. Queen."

With those words she grabbed her computer and headed for the elevator. Oliver followed her, but she didn't hold the elevator for him, she let the doors close and headed up alone.

When she arrived Oliver's EA was there waiting to show her to the conference room. She brought in coffee and muffins. Awesome Felicity thought. At least they are going to feed her before she was fired.

"Good Morning Felicity."

"Good morning Walter." Felicity had always liked Walter.

"Ms. Smoak this is Ms. Waller from the legal department."

"Hi Ms. Waller Felicity Smoak." She shook the Woman's hand as she introduced herself

"We are just waiting on Mr. Queen and then we can get started." Walter announced

"I'm here, lets get started." Oliver looked out of breath, he'd taken the stairs.

"Ms. Smoak we are here because there have been allegations made against you. Mr. Palmer is stating the program you developed was developed with resources from Palmer Tech and that you were in a sexual relationship with him, living in his home at the time of development. That gave you access to his company. We are not here to ask you about your relationship with Mr. Palmer. However, we must ask was this program developed using any resources fro PT? Or any where else other than QC?"

"No," Was Felicity's only word that she spoke.

"Ok, well the rest is up to me then." Mr kwefkjfe said

"Mr. Steal, Mr. Queen, Ms. Smoak have any of you talked with anyone about this program, off the team?"

Walter and Oliver shook there heads, while Felicity answered with a "Yes." all their heads looked at her.

"Ms. Smoak who did you talk with?"

"Not me by myself, the day I developed the program was the day the system crashed, I wasn't the head of the department at the time. Jason was."

"Jason Wilson?" asked Ms. Waller

"Yes, he was head of IT, he knew about the program."

"I see, well there is an issue there. Mr. Wilson now works at PT. He is stating he worked with you to develop the program."

'No, I did this by myself."

"I believe you Ms. Smoak, unfortunately I'm afraid this is going to get personal."

"Oh its already personal. Ask what you need to know."

Ms. Waller looked around the room.

"Do you want anyone to leave before we get started?"

"The EA's"

Oliver dismissed them.

Felicity wanted to go home, her day was shot to hell.

"Anyone else?"

Felicity looked at Walter and then at Oliver making eye contact with him.

"No, they can stay."

Oliver was relived she didn't ask him to leave. He wanted to support her on this.

"Ok, Felicity when did you start your relationship with Mr. Palmer?"

Felicity closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Two years ago."

"Did you live in his apartment?"

"Yes"

"Was your relationship sexual?"

"Yes." Felicity sighed

"When did you end your relationship with Mr. Palmer?

"Almost three months ago, but he didn't find out then. He was on a business trip, when I fond out he was cheating. I moved while he was gone. He's been back 6 weeks."

"So, you parted on bad terms?"

"No, we parted on my terms. I never really spoke to him after."

"You were seen at a coffee shop with him a week ago. Was that a date?"

'No." Felicity sighed.

"Were you ever in a relationship with Mr. Wilson?"

"NO" Felicity was a little disgusted by the thought.

"Ok, and your relationship with Mr. Queen?"

"That's none of your business." Oliver piped up at this line of questioning.

"I assure you Mr. Queen it is. Look we have an IT girl that was sleeping with Mr. Palmer CEO of PT 3 months ago, she gets her boss fired with her new program shortly after their brake up, and now she's sleeping with you, the CEO of QC, who gave her a new position and is funding her the program. Semmes like she had this all planned out."

"Ms. Waller you are fired." Oliver wasn't letting her bad mouth Felicity.

"Remember you signed agreements, you aren't allowed to speak of anything we spoke of here today." Walter addressed the woman who was already packing her stuff.

"I remember, and you remember that I have a contract and you have 15 days to pay it out, starting today. Also remember I tried to warn you."

"That will be all." Walter dismissed him.

Felicity sat looking at her lap. She was thinking of all that man had said. It was true, except she didn't plan any of it. It just happened, but it looked bad. How did she get herself in such a mess? How she must look to the outside world. Everyone must thing of her as a gold-digging whore. Just an IT girl who loved money.

"Oliver, she wasn't completely wrong, we need to get out a head of this." Walter was right Oliver knew that.

"Felicity. We will find a new lawyer." Oliver didn't know what to say to her. She looked a little broken.

"I have a lawyer, if its all the same to you I'll call her."

"Actually Felicity, you need to use someone here, we can't have you getting your own lawyer." Walter liked Felicity, but he needed to also think of the company.

"We will hire your lawyer, who is it?" Oliver was down a lawyer anyway.

"You can't, I mean I don't know if she would work for you. She might, temporarily to help me. I'll call and ask her." Felicity wasn't sure she would do this for QC.

"Who is it?" Oliver couldn't think of anyone who wouldn't work for him.

Felicity looked at him, she didn't really want to have this conversation, but it seemed she didn't have a choice.

"Laurel Lance."
