CHAPTER FOURTEEN

They Smile in Your Face, All the Time,

They Want to Take Your Place…

…A few days later

“That slimy, backstabbing son of a bitch.” Yasmine slammed the phone down in her office and took a deep breath in an attempt to regain her composure. She nearly jumped out of her seat when her cell phone rang. She hadn’t had more than a second to collect her thoughts, to calm down the fire that burst inside of her. Collecting her wits, she reached for the phone and tried to speak in an even tone. “Hey, Goldie…”

“Why do you sound like that?” her friend fired off without even a hello.

So much for staying calm.

“Goldie, I want to rip the head off this bastard! I am so tired of this idiot…”

“Who? What? When and Where?”

“Betrayal! Today! Here at work! As far as who, remember when I told you they hired that new guy, Camden?”

“Yeah, he was from Turner and Fawcett, right?”

“Yes. The first day he was here, he rubbed me the wrong way but I just figured I may have been having a stressful day since I am juggling all these cases now. Also, Mike had to take a leave of absence for the next few weeks, so I have his work, too.”

“Right… right… So, what did Camden do?”

“This motherfucker came to me with a big smile on his fucking face, telling me that Terrell said he could take the Spencer case off my hands, that he was going to head that up and work on it. He then told me to forward all of my work to him by the end of the day so he could look at what I’ve done, revise as necessary, and keep what matters. Then he winked, and walked out of my office!”

“What?!”

“Yes! He stabbed me in the back, Goldie! Yesterday morning, that first meeting of the day, we were all discussing our cases, as we always do. I mapped out my plan and of course shared it with Terrell.”

“I still can’t get over the fact that a White man is named Terrell but go on.” Goldie chuckled.

“So, Terrell thought it was an excellent way to proceed. Well, apparently, this morning, behind closed doors, this piece of shit went and showed Terrell his so-called credentials, how he was made for a case like this and he won several ones that were similar to the issues. Since I lost the Bachman case seven months ago, I guess he felt he could bring that up and hold it against me. I don’t know what hand he played, but something definitely tells me he used that card! Do you know how hard I have worked on this, Goldie?! Long days and nights, with little to no sleep…”

Okay, so some of that loss of sleep was because I was being fucked all hours of the night by a motherfucker named Nixon, but that was neither here nor there. “This case is important to the firm and it could generate a lot more business, and he knows it.
