CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Kari was hard at work in her two-room office, discussing a call she received regarding one of her employees. The employee, Resheda Greene, stood in front of her desk with her hand on her hip. She found it insulting to have to be there at all.

Kari didn’t like it any more than she did, but right was still right, and Resheda, all evidence suggested, was dead wrong. “You had the second floor to clean at that motel,” Kari said to her.

“And I cleaned every room,” said Resheda with serious attitude.

But Kari was already shaking her head. “No, Ree, you didn’t.”

“Yes, I did! I’m telling you I did! What, Kari, you gonna believe that lady over me? That lady lying, Kari!”

“Why, Ree? Why in the world would she lie on you?”

“Because that’s what she does! She doesn’t like black people, that’s what it’s about. If you truly wanna know the truth.”

“I know the truth,” Kari said. “After she phoned yesterday, I went over there myself and viewed every room, at least those that didn’t have a guest in them, that you were assigned to clean. I saw those rooms with my own two eyes.”

Resheda’s confident look began to falter. “And I’m sure you saw how clean they were,” she said, but without all the attitude.

“I saw the stained sheets you left on those beds,” Kari said. “I saw the dirty tub and showers where you didn’t even try to clean. I saw the dust. I saw the dirt. It was a shame what I saw! It was as if you walked into those rooms, and you walked your ass right back out. A couple rooms didn’t even have their beds made up, Ree!”

“I made those beds,” Resheda insisted.

“Those beds weren’t made, Resheda. Now don’t play with me.”

“I still say every one of those beds were made. That lady probably threw the covers off of them when she found out you were coming to investigate, just to spite me.”

Kari couldn’t believe she went there. “And did she put the dust and the dirt and the filth in those rooms too, to spite you?”

“She might have,” Resheda said.

“Yeah, right,” said Kari. “And I might have too. And Dez might have. And Peter, Paul, and Mary might have. Yeah. Sure. I’m going to have to let you go.”

Resheda’s look was less defiant and more fearful now. She needed that paycheck. “You believe her?” she asked. “How can you believe that cracker over me, after all I did for you, Kari?”

Kari frowned at Resheda. She spoke with disbelief in her voice. “After all you did for me? What your ass did for me?”

“I kept your business going. That’s what I did!”

“You what?” Kari stood on her feet. “Bitch when?”

“Many times!”

“She’s delusional, Boss,” said Dezzamaine, Kari’s secretary.

“Bump you, black sambo!” Resheda shouted at Dez. “Ain’t nobody talking to you!”

But Kari was talking to Resheda. “You’re fired,” she said to her bluntly. She tried to let the girl down easy, but she had to go there? “Effective right now.
