Sarah parked her car outside the tall glass office skyscraper downtown.
Her hands were shaking against the black leather steering wheel surface.
She forced herself to breathe deeply before opening the heavy car door.
She marched into the polished marble lobby with clear burning determination.
The elevator ride up to the tenth floor felt endless and quiet.
When the doors slid open she stepped into the corporate suite lobby.
The receptionist offered a friendly greeting but Sarah walked right past her.
She walked straight down the hallway toward Mark corner office door.
The frosted glass door was closed tight with the blinds drawn down.
Sarah did not bother to knock on the shiny metal handle.
She pushed the heavy door open and stepped into the room instantly.
Mark was standing behind his mahogany desk close to Amanda Vance.
They were looking over a binder of legal documents together closely.
Amanda jumped backward instantly with a surprised look on her face.
Mark jumped in shock and dropped his expensive silver pen on the rug.
Sarah, what on earth are you doing here without calling, Mark demanded.
Sarah looked at Amanda and noted her expensive new designer handbag.
I went to see David at the bank this morning, Sarah declared loudly.
Mark face went completely red as he glanced at his young assistant.
Amanda, please give us a moment alone in here, Mark said quickly.
Amanda grabbed her file folder and rushed out without saying a word.
The heavy wooden door clicked shut behind her as she left them.
How could you move fifty thousand dollars behind my back, Sarah demanded.
Mark leaned against his desk and put his hands into his pockets.
It is a temporary investment for a business venture, Mark lied smoothly.
You gave our home savings to Amanda Vance, Sarah shouted angrily.
Mark stepped closer and dropped his smooth professional voice entirely.
You do not understand how financial investments work, Sarah, he sneered.
I understand that you were planning to drain everything in three days, she said.
Mark eyes narrowed as he realized his clever plan was exposed completely.
If you cause a scene I will file for immediate divorce, he threatened.
You will get nothing from this estate if you fight me, he added coldly.
Sarah looked at the man she had trusted for nine long years.
She realized then that talking to him here was totally useless.
I am not leaving empty handed, Mark, Sarah said with ice in her voice.
