Chapter Twelve

Scarlett unlocked the office doors at The Grand’s Auto and Towing Shop. She was there a whole hour early. Her weekend was over and she was ready to bury herself in her work. She knew she had to maintain her new lifestyle by working hard, and she was determined to make it, regardless of what Gwen had instilled in her over the years.

She thought about Sheila repeatedly. She couldn’t understand how a person who had everything in the world, was so hell bent destroying someone who practically had nothing. It couldn’t have been jealousy or revenge, because she had nothing for Sheila to be jealous of, and she had never done anything against her. If anything, Sheila should owe her big time for all the girls she beat down in school for her. She was confused, but she wasn’t going to let Sheila’s actions get in the way of her prospering. She knew that it was detrimental for her to keep her job, when Sheila was the person who helped her get it. So, she had to put up a front and figure out what Sheila’s motives were behind the scandalous things she’d been doing and saying about her.

Jay was constantly on her mind all weekend, but she wasn’t going to allow his unpredictable behavior to fool her again. She was determined to hide whatever feelings she had for him and move on. She couldn’t afford to be caught up with someone who could potentially end up with her so-called best friend.

She turned on the lights and immediately began straightening up the office. It wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been, but she knew Sheila wasn’t going to lift a finger to clean anything if she didn’t have to. She felt energized and ready for the day. She had already prepared herself for whatever Sheila was going to say about her weekend with Jay. She was even prepared to look in Jay’s face and pretend that what they shared meant nothing to her.

As she wiped off the glass end tables, the office door opened. She looked up and it was Greg. He smiled at her.

“What’s up, sexy? I didn’t know you would be in so early.”

Scarlett blushed at his comment. “Hey Greg, how are you doing this morning?” She admired his swag. He was a good-looking man, who could get any woman he wanted, but he wanted her, and this really excited her to some degree.

“I’m doing great. I had a long relaxing weekend, and I am happy to be back, and that’s mainly because you’re here.” He walked over and put his arms around her waist. His old school Cool Water cologne smelled great on him. She found herself embracing him back. She laid her head on his chest, and for the first time, felt that there was actually a man other than Anton who genuinely cared for her. He rubbed up and down her back in the gentlest way, and kissed her softly on the top of her head.
