Chapter 15: Fair Is Fair

"Nikita!" Maya shrilled as she burst into Kit's office, startling her in the middle of a phone call.

Kit's assistant Dana followed closely behind, looking flustered and disgruntled. Kit took one look at her mother's angry expression and withered internally.

"Stu, an emergency has just popped up. Can I call you back once this is handled?" Kit spoke into the phone while keeping her eyes on her mother. Maya had unceremoniously dropped herself into the chair on the front side of the desk while Dana hovered in the background.

"I appreciate that," Kit said appreciatively before hanging up and turning to address her guests. She could already feel a headache forming around her temples, but still managed to smile apologetically at Dana. "It's okay Dana. I'll take it from here."

The younger woman nodded at Kit curtly and shot Maya a venomous look before leaving the room and shutting the door behind her.
