Chapter 10

Cross

I was running late. But then again, when my head was in the game, and I was enjoying my work, I tended to be focused on only that. However, people were waiting for me. Or, rather, she was waiting for me. I wasn’t actually going to be late, but I did have to hurry up and finish what I was doing.

The project in front of me was complete, thank God. I was just going over it for anything I needed to change or work on before my clients picked it up. I felt like I’d done a good job, even if it wasn’t my most elegant piece. I was still nervous about what the clients would think of the finished product, but that was always the case. No matter what I did, I was always nervous, even if it was damn good work.

I rolled my shoulders back, gave the piece one more nod, and then went on to the next item on my checklist before I could leave.

I went to my desk rather than my workroom and opened the files on my computer.

I really didn’t want to do this, but I had to. I needed to go through every single one of my files, both those for my work and Chris’s.

I needed to dissolve this partnership, and I had to make sure that everything was sound before I did. I did not want to fuck this up more than it already was, but this wasn’t the first time I had gone over this paperwork in the past two days. Wasn’t even the second. And I didn’t like what I was seeing.

I had made a grave mistake. I’d trusted the wrong person. If I weren’t careful, I was going to pay for it and with more than just a potential ulcer, and lack of sleep.

Chris was stealing from me. There was no getting around that, not when I looked at the numbers in front of my face.

I wouldn’t have figured it out until I sat down and worked through every single error that I encountered. I wasn’t even sure my accountant would have noticed it because he wouldn’t have known that some of the items on the list were lies. He would have trusted me to make sure I sent him the right info, and would have trusted Chris to do the same. He would have double-checked everything, but there were some things that the accountant couldn’t triple-check unless he knew the specifics behind every single item.

Even I was having trouble finding the reasons for some of these things, and I should have known every single one. This was my fault. I had fucked up by not looking sooner, and now I would have to figure out what the fuck to do. Should I go to the cops? Or to the IRS?

Because if this was fucked up the way it was, it likely wasn’t the only thing. I had a feeling that Chris was fully aware of what was going on.
