Chapter 16 - Stuck With You

It was the damn Nassau project. As if it wasn't irritating enough to find out that Nick was told about it before she was, she now had to work on it with him. 'Creative bonding time'- her father had called it with that same suggestive smirk as if he was fooling anyone with the cupid glint in his eyes. Michael seemed apologetic, at least someone did, but he was equally as enthusiastic about Madison working with Nick as Thomas was and she had to withhold a smirk at their cluelessness about her own plans. All those years of working harder and better than everyone else and she was still amounted to the stupid girl who got fooled by the men around her. Not on her watch though. Her mind was whirling with her various schemes, people to fool, others to destroy and they wouldn't deter her. Not this easily.
