This choice: You concede defeat and tell Denise and Candace • Go Back...Chapter #8You concede defeat and tell Denise and Candace by: NVR   You felt trapped, and in your mind you were already fired as you slowly started to walk towards Denise and Candice, your body position revealing how doomed you felt. Michelle just chuckled, went back to her desk and started to play on her phone, with the state of her "mentor" she didn't feel she would have a hard time in this office. You thought for a moment maybe you could get away with telling them something else, but what was the point? that would require both Denise and Candice to cooperate, which they wouldn't do, and Michelle would just need to ask them to confirm you lied.
The two girls were chatting about some TV show or whatever when they saw you approach. Candice knew how this panned out, so she just remained quiet as she let Denise run the show
"What is it James, did you screw up something?" Denise chuckled, looking for another opportunity to score points over you in the imaginary "who will be the next manager" table.
"Actually, I feel like I need to confess something, if it's ok with you" you said in a somber tone. This piqued Candice interest who thought this was just going to be another round of banter between the two rivals. Denise just raised an eyebrow at your almost pained voice
"What is it? spit it out. Hopefully is worth our time, like confessing you aren't fit to be the new manager and will get out of my way" Denise giggled, but was as interested as Candice to know what was up with James today
You blushed furiously and couldn't help but look down in shame as you revealed your biggest secret "I-i have a foot fetish.. hmm I am sorry if I have ever made you uncomfortable" you felt you were lying on the second part of that sentence, you liked making them uncomfortable and laughing when Denise failed to complete a project or Candice screwed up something, just not because of.. this. And to be honest, since neither woman used the kind of footwear Michelle was using today you didn't think much about it
An awkward silence filled the room as both women tried to make sense of what you just said
"Huh? Why is that relevant for anything... unless, did you do something to Michelle?" Denise said a bit confused. James was many things, but a perv he never has been so far. She didn't understand why on earth would you suddenly reveal your kink to people who weren't interested in you. Candice remained quiet sensing there was more to it from James demeanor
You blushed again, never feeling so inferior to Denise as when having to tell her, without entering in too much detail about your little episode with the new intern. You knew Denise and Candice had no good reason to know about this and it was a matter that Kim should deal with, so embellishing some words you told them about the deal you made with her, revealing your secret to some coworkers so she could feel safe working here
Once Denise took it all in, she just gave you a reaction you didn't expect
"Look, I don't care about your stupid kinks. Why are you wasting my time with this? You know the person that you should be talking me and it is not me" she said in an angry tone "If it was me I would fire you without thinking twice but I don't have that power, and I don't have any evidence of you being something other than an obstacle in my way to promotion"
You were definitely caught off guard by that, she didn't even bother taking advantage like Michelle did, maybe because she didn't feel she needed to? You looked at her face, she was showing a bit of disgust but you had to admire her integrity. As a professional she could separate work from personal stuff, and because she never felt you were perving on her or anyone else while at work until now, she didn't even consider using any of this against you.
"Oh.. yeah you're right, sorry to have bothered you" You said slowly praising whichever God was there that allowed to get away scot free from this. Now you only needed to deal with Michelle, you confessed, the deal was made, you could try to control yourself around her and move on or just stay away from her if she became too much to handle. It would hurt your reputation a bit, but considering what was at stake earlier you would gladly take that now
Until Candice spoke, that is
"You know, I think he's lying"
"What do you mean?" asked Denise in a bored tone. She didn't seem too interested about all this
"You were right that issue needed to be discussed with Kim and not us, so not buying the story about Michelle making him confess" Candice said "Maybe he wanted us to know for another reason? Maybe he saw your feet or my feet once and wants more?... You know, I had a fling with one of these foot boys like a year ago, it was funny because he was so crazy about mine I could do whatever I wanted with him.. too bad he ended up moving away" she giggled remembering the good old days.. "Maybe James is confessing because he wants something like that from you or me? Or someone else here after I share the news?" she smirked
What the fuck? this was going so well.. You of course forgot Candice wouldn't resist the gossip and that could cause more problems in the future, but you felt shivers in your back when you saw Denise expression changed, no longer looking bored but thinking.. She wouldn't, would she? you could only hope..
What happens next?
