Part Ten

Vanessa kept a trashcan next to her desk in case she happened to get sick from the thought of Nathan and Sheila together and in front of her once again. She kept having flashes of catching them in the shower, and nearly regurgitated on top of her desk. She sat up in her chair with her elbows on the edge and her face in her hands. She closed her eyes and counted to ten until the nausea passed. She thought about searching for the bottle of vodka in her mother’s office, but couldn’t bring herself to even move. She felt if she had, something would come up before she even stepped one foot on the outside.

After a few minutes had passed, she heard someone knocking on her door. She still felt like vomiting and wanted to crawl underneath her table and die, fearing it was either Nathan or Sheila again.

“What is it this time?” She dropped her hands from her face and frowned a little, surprised to see Oscar standing in her doorway. Of all people, she thought. She looked around for Samantha in a slight panic before dropping back in her chair and crossing her legs. “What the hell are you doing here? The Bean is nowhere near here and certainly not inside this office building.”

“I might have to change that soon enough. There’s a vacant area downstairs that’s looking better and better to me each time I pass this place,” he said. “May, I?” He pointed toward the door. Before Vanessa could speak another word, he closed it behind him and walked inside. He scratched his head and grinned, glancing from side to side at her employees as they pounded on their keyboards like overly eager worker bees.

“What the hell do you want?” she asked, recalling his attention.

“You have a problem.”

“Do I? And what is that, exactly?”

“Nikki hasn’t been back to work in over a week because you’re doing an article on my wife.”

“Um, if that’s the case I actually think your dick is the problem. But if you want to play that game, then yes, your wife is going to be featured on the cover of the magazine with an accompanying article. The photo shoot is later this week and I hear she wants to bring your kids in from the Hamptons too?” She folded her arms and sneered. “Something about a few family shots to showcase the bond between all of you? How lovely and quaint.”

“Look, V--”

“Vanessa,” she stated firmly.

He made a face and clucked his tongue, taken aback by her aloofness. “Vanessa. I don’t think you have any clue as to what’s actually going on here.”

“Enlighten me. No wait, don’t. Because what I think is going on is that you’re sleeping with my best friend. You’re cheating on your wife with her, and you’re lying to the both of them, and yourself by believing that it will end soon with either one of them, even though it won’t. Please stop me if anything I said was wrong.
