Chapter Seven

‘Well, good morning.’ Beatrice slams a file cabinet drawer closed, and successfully snaps Carmen out of her daydream. ‘Did you have a nice,’ she crosses her arms and perches on the edge of her desk, ‘lunch?’

‘Nothing happened, Bee.’

‘Mrs Peterson called from her sister’s house up in Winter Park while you were gone yesterday.’

‘So?’

‘So,’ Bee admires the blood-red acrylic nails on her right hand, ‘I told her you and Mike were out to lunch.’

‘So?’ she repeats.

‘She called twice,’ Bee illustrates with two long fingers, ‘and I don’t think she was very happy when I told her Mike would be gone for the rest of the day. That’s when she asked to speak to you.’

‘Oh, my God. What did you tell her?’

Bee shrugs. ‘The truth. I told her you were gone for the rest of the day too.’ Her grin reveals a row of perfect little teeth.

‘Oh, Jesus!’

Bee propels herself off the desk to whisper eagerly in her ear, ‘Are you sleeping with him?’

‘No.’ Carmen’s firm lie carries across the cubicle-lined area, where only the receptionist’s desk is exposed.

‘Oh, come on,’ Bee keeps her own voice down, ‘you can tell me! I won’t blab, I just have to know.’

‘We had lunch, Bee, that’s all.’

‘Carmen, I swear by my little boy, who you know I love more than anything in this world, that I won’t tell. You and Mike, you had a little afternoon delight, right?’

‘If I was sleeping with Mike,’ Carmen whispers fiercely, ‘it wouldn’t be little or delightful, it would be big and rough!’

‘You’re having an affair!’ Bee concludes reverently.

Carmen turns away. ‘Whatever.’

‘By the way, the reason Linn called the office was because she couldn’t reach Mike on his cell phone. He had it turned off.’

Carmen pauses on her way into the vice president’s suite. ‘So?’

‘Why would he do that?’

‘Because he felt like it?’

Perching on the edge of her desk again, Beatrice picks up a coffee mug, from which the face of a little boy grins toothlessly out at Carmen. ‘What else did Mike feel like?’

‘Nothing. Is that Nicky on your cup?’

‘Yes! Isn’t he adorable?’ Bee smiles down at the picture of her son. ‘He was with his dad in Dadeland when he made mami this little present.’

‘What a sweetie. Um, how’s it going with Dan?’

‘It’s gone. We’re getting a divorce.’

‘I’m sorry, Bee.’

‘I’m not. I got what I wanted. Nicky. Except for every other weekend, he’s all mine.’

‘And he’s adorable.’

‘I know. I also know you changed the subject, querida.’

‘It’s all in your head, Bee.’

‘And maybe Mike’s head too? He has to look at you everyday, you know. You’re disgustingly beautiful, and he’s just a man.’ Bee sips her coffee. ‘Who could blame him?’

‘His wife.’

Carmen is glad she is an organized individual who always keeps a fully stocked gym bag in her car, because by the time she leaves the office at exactly five minutes to five, she is so restless that it is either workout until she drops, or implode.

Mike never showed up to work even though he only had one meeting scheduled, with Seaside’s president at the main branch downtown.
