Chapter 119

"Before I tell you, promise me two things, Mai," Kate said.0

" What would I need to promise you, Ma'am?" Mai asked. She didn't suspect anything ill against  her boss because she knew that Mrs. Woods was a good woman, and Mai would support her in every way possible especially if  it was to get rid of that bitch.

"First, you need to keep this a secret," Kate said. "No matter what, you NEED to keep this a secret and don't let Erin know about this, or the plan will fail, that is a guarantee."

"Oh, that's easy Ma'am," Mai said. 

"It won't be easy for you, Mai," Kate sighed. "I know that you're quite hot-headed, and I don't want you to say anything stupid when you're angry at Erin. So promise me."

"I promise, Ma'am!" Mai insisted. "I will keep my mouth shut in front of her, and I won't say anything to her!"

Kate could sense the seriousness in her voice and was satisfied, "Alright then, the second one is, you need to stop being hostile toward Mr. Eckermann after I tell you the plan we've concocted."

Mai didn't say yes immediately. She disliked Henry and Michael so much that she couldn't stand the idea of trying to be kind to them. 

"Don't worry, they are also involved in this plan . Everything is going according to my plan and they are behaving the way I want them to," Kate said. "All you need to do is to promise me that you will try to be at least a little friendlier towards Mr. Eckermann."

"Not Mr. Grant too, Ma'am?" Mai asked.

'Well, I don't think he's bothered by your hostility,' Kate thought. "Well, Henry as well. But you NEED to be especially friendly towards Mr. Eckermann. He's also a very important person in this mission."

Mai clenched her fist. She hated that man because he looked like the type to act nice toward a woman, but he just wanted to have sex with her before leaving her broken hearted.

It was the worst kind of man, a kind that Mai hated.

But she had to agree, or else she couldn't help Mrs. Woods.

So she nodded reluctantly, "Alright, Ma'am. I will try to be civil with him, as long as he doesn't touch me, then we will be fine."

Kate sighed, 'Good luck, Mr. Eckermann. I hope you can figure out a way to melt Mai's heart.'

"Come closer, Mai, let me tell you the plan that I've prepared for my sister."

Mai walked closer to her boss and listened to the whole plan, including the part about Henry and Michael's involvement and what roles they had to play, as well as the ending that Erin deserved.

…

…

…

Mai's heart changed from worry to joy. She was so excited after learning the full story and also the inevitable end that would happen to Erin.

"Ma'am, you're a genius!" Mai chirped happily. "I can't wait to see her spend the rest of her life in an ice coffin! With that, she won't be able to ruin anyone's life anymore, and things will go back to normal in the office again!" 

Kate chuckled, "Don't you feel bad? Because she will suffer for the rest of her life."

"Why would I feel bad? She brought this upon herself," Mai said. "Erin ruined so many lives, does she ever feel pity for the women whose husbands she ruined? As a matter of fact I feel your plan is well deserved."

"I like the way you think, Mai," Kate complimented. "I thought you'd refuse to help because you might think it's too evil."

"I mean, I don't mind burning a witch if she's as horrible as Erin," Mai shrugged. "But, Ma'am, do you really think that Mr. Grant and Mr. Eckermann are on our side?"

"I do," Kate replied. "Why? Do you think they will turn their backs on me?"

"Well, they act so well it is so convincing, I can't help but be fooled by them. I really thought that they're into Erin, Ma'am," Mai said. "Especially Mr. Eckermann, I really thought that he's foolish enough to do it with Erin."

Kate chuckled, "So, after listening to the plan, do you think you can at least be civil with Mr. Eckermann?"

"Ehhh… I'm not sure," Mai sighed. "I don't like him. Even after knowing that he is part of the plan, I still can't bring myself to like him. But I will try to, because he's clearly the worst victim here, he will have to suffer Erin the most."

"Well, I'm glad that you understand, Mai," Kate smiled. "You don't need to be so kind and all smiles toward him, just treat him like a normal coworker, okay?"

"Okay, Ma'am."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go to his office and help him before Erin pounces on him," Kate instructed. "Don't forget to try to act pitiful in front of Erin too. Satisfy that bitch so she wont suspect a thing before we dump her into that ice coffin."

"Understood, Ma'am."

**

Mai walked out of the office and headed to Mr. Grant's office, "Your coffee, Sir," Mai said.

Henry was busy in a call as he wanted the ice coffin for Erin to be ready as soon as possible, so that they wouldn't need to endure her bullshit for too long.

He stared at Mai, who put the coffee on his desk. He didn't see hostility in her eyes anymore, so he assumed that Kate already spoke to her about their plan to eradicate Erin completely from everyone's mind.

"I'll call you later, don't forget to find the best place where nobody can reach her," Henry said to the person on the phone before he hung up.

He then stared at Mai and asked, "Did your boss already tell you everything?"

"Yes, Sir," Mai said. She was ashamed that she got so hostile toward Mr. Grant. "I should've known that you're not the type who'd fall for Erin's seduction. I'm sorry for all the harsh words I told you before, Sir."

Henry shrugged, "I don't really mind. But you should be careful from now on, don't say anything stupid in front of Erin, or the plan will fail and all Kate's hard work will be useless.

"Yes, Sir. I will make sure to keep my mouth shut," Mai said. "But Sir, I am still Mrs. Woods' assistant, not yours. So please understand this wouldn't change anything about my stance. I will always be on Mrs. Woods' side."
