CYDNEY

Saturday or not, I got out of bed early and headed for work. Today would be a catch up day for me, and since no one would be in the office, I could get plenty of work done. Isaac never came home last night. I just knew he’d come in acting a fool, but he didn’t. His not being home gave me a little time to catch up on some rest, but still, the thoughts of Raymond weighed heavily on my mind. I wanted to see him today, but then again, I had to clear up this mess with Isaac and do it fast. He was getting out of control. I knew that somebody was bound to get hurt. If Raymond allowed me just a few more months, I could very well be free to do whatever I desired to do.

On my way to the office, my cell phone rang. When I looked to see who it was, it was Miguel. Since I’d been home from my vacation, he’d backed off. I guess he was in the mood to mess with me this morning. And trying to see what the enemy was up to, I answered.

“What?” I sharply said.

“That ain’t no way to talk to me after all I’ve done for you, is it?”

“Make it quick, Miguel. I’m busy.”

“When am I going to see you?”

“Never. I told you that I’m not dealing with you anymore. The same goes for Isaac.”

He laughed. “That’s a lie and you know it. You’ll never leave Isaac. He’s got you wrapped around his finger, like the rest of his bitches. Don’t think for one moment that I’ve forgotten about you because I haven’t. I’ve been busy working on a li’l something else. For now, you and Isaac are on the backburner. But trust me when I say I’ll be in touch with you real soon.”

He hung up. I tossed my cell phone over to the passenger’s seat and rolled my eyes. If I could ever take back my involvement with him, I surely would. All I could ask myself is, what in the hell was I thinking?

When I arrived at my office, the moment I walked in, I looked at the picture of the Majestic and carried it into my office. I already had a place for it on my wall. But it was so heavy that I had to wait for someone in maintenance to hang it for me. For the time being, I placed it against the wall right in front of my desk.

For the next several hours, I got down to business. Next week was going to be a breeze for me, as I’d filed all of my papers, reorganized my desk, and reviewed many of the insurance claims that required upper management’s attention. Bottom line, Carol wasn’t worth a damn, and since I had to do her work too, her salary was a serious waste.

By the time I got finished reviewing one hundred and twenty claims, it was already getting late.
