Chapter Sixteen

Chris

Traffic was decent for a change and I arrived in plenty of time to make the morning meeting. I stopped and picked up Kim and headed for the meeting. Ivan didn’t like the idea of her coming to the meeting with me, but he’ll have to get used to it. It’s been two weeks now since she’s been going, and on a couple of those days, she went by herself. Kim said that since I wasn’t there, that he wouldn’t address any of our issues with her. When I got in, there was a voice mail from him saying, “Chris, I missed you at the meeting this morning. If you have a minute, please stop by my office. I have some issues to discuss with you.”

When I talked to Ivan, as usual it was nothing major. Nothing that he couldn’t have covered with Kim. But when I explaind to Ivan that he could have addressed the issue with Kim, he laughed that stupid laugh of his and said, “I’m just an old fashion guy.”

My natural reaction to that was, he didn’t like dealing with too many Black people. I was his house nigger and that was enough for him. But I’ve watched him interact with the women that work for him. I saw how he went off on Yvonne. She’s one of his floor supervisors, very nice white woman, in her forties I guess. He started tearing her down so bad that she left the building crying. I think he’s just one of those old men that believe that a woman has no place in the workplace, and should be at home, bare foot and pregnant.

Except CJ.

Ivan just loves him some CJ.

“Well, what does CJ think?” Is one of his favorite questions.

I’ve been spending a lot of time getting Kim up to speed on the system and the reporting functions, and she’s becoming quite capable. I’m giving very serious consideration to paying for her take some computer classes. In the long run, she could become a very valuable member of the team.

Once the morning madness was over, I returned to my office and walked right into— “CJ.”

“Good morning, Chris.”

“What are you doing here?” I asked, happier to see her than I let on.

“If you would’ve returned my call last night, you’d know why I’m here. I think I have a fix for the problem we’ve been having with the interface.”

I sat for the next hour or so, watching CJ stare at the monitor, banging away at the keyboard. I listened without listening to CJ talk about how unhappy she was at home. I know it must be hard on her, married to a man who is underemployed, drinks too much, and is verbally and physically abusive. She’s the victim.

When CJ successfully finished her task, I walked her to her car. I walked alongside her, admiring her form, and I allowed myself the luxury of imagining what it would be like if I had pursued CJ when I had the chance.
