Chapter 7

“Uh...Kendall...” Philip grunts. “What a surprise...”

“The Topeka Channing story. What the fuck. What the actual fuck. Assigning it to Sidney?”

“Yes,” says Philip in a low voice. “I did assign her that story.”

“How could you do that? It's my story – it's got my name all over it. I know Topeka. She's from my world – not some white trash ghetto or wherever the fuck Sidney lives. What – you owe her a favor for some reason?”

“Kendall...” I say. “I have no idea what you're talking about.”

“Don't give me that bullshit,” Kendall is a charging bull, and I'm her red banner. “I know what you did. No, I'm disgusted. Ugh!” She practically spits in my face. “I mean, isn't it bad enough that you and I are somehow part of the same sick family tree? I could barely get up in the morning knowing I'd have to deal with you. Knowing that my father is actually banging your mother as husband and little wife instead of some cheating john and his well-paid whore...”

“Excuse me?” I can feel my face burn with anger. “How dare you talk about my mother that...

“Now, now, Kendall,” Philip's voice is low and cool. “That’s a horrific thing to say. And very rude. Whatever you may think, whatever personal reasons you may have to feel upset right now, we are in an office. And talk like that is unprofessional, quite frankly, and reflects poorly on you as an employee. And as my sister,” he adds. “Sidney's mother is our stepmother now, and just whining and calling names isn't going to solve anything, is it?”

Kendall looks angry. She crosses her arms and pouts like a child. “I can't believe this. You're taking her side. Our whole family's falling apart and you're just acting like you don't even care.”

“I care about the fact that my sister is upset,” says Philip. “But other than that? All I care about is that my father is happy and well. And that his new bride is happy and well, too.”

“You don't have any respect for our mother! For our family! For keeping our family together.”

“Our mother and father separated years ago!” Philip's voice notches higher with anger. “And the sooner you start to accept that, the better.”

“I can't believe you, Philip! Acting like this is okay! Acting like this isn't disgusting – Mom and Dad belong together and you know it.”

I can't help it. I almost feel sorry for her. Years after her parents’ divorce and she's still holding out hope that some Parent Trap style situation will get them back together? It's outrageous. I can't even hate her anymore. I just feel sad for her. How horrible must her parents' divorce have been to screw her up so completely?

“I promise you,” Kendall says, her face sour and cruel. “I will do whatever I can to make sure this marriage fails. It only takes a little bit of persuading, that's all.” She looks at me with barely concealed contempt, her eyes smoldering with rage.
