“Not before my lawyer gets in touch with you.”You crazy whack-job.
When she growls like a lioness in heat, we all stare at her. What little composure she had when I first saw her is now gone. Her face is red, her eyes are bugging out, and I think she’s foaming at the mouth. “Are you okay?” Why I feign interest in her well being is beyond me. Maybe it’s because my mother raised a gentleman.
“No! She picks up a purse that was sitting in one of our reception chairs and turns. But before she leaves she spins around one more time and shouts, “This isn’t over!”
“Yes it is,” says Cammy.
“If you attempt to enter this office again, I will call the police,” I add.
Screeching obscenities, she stomps to the elevator. Luckily, the thing opens up right away and closes as soon as she stomps on board.
“Whoa,” mutters Cammy. “She’s frigging crazy.”
“Definitely.”
“You dodged a bullet on that one,” she adds. Slapping her hands together, “Welp! Let’s grab Lexie and go talk this out.”
“Huh? Why do we need to grab Lexie?”
“Because you just announced to that wacko and your entire office that you’re in a relationship with her. We need to work out the details.” Walking away she stops and turns back to me, “By the way. Good job. Lexie’s a perfect choice. Positively perfect.”
I turn to Lexie to see her glaring at Cammy. When her eyes meet mine, they don’t soften. Not one bit. “Call Kim to cover for you. Meet me in my office as soon as she gets here.”
Picking up the phone, she jabs at the phone with an angry finger. “Kim?” She pauses. “Can you cover for me for a little while? Mr. Parker wants to talk to me.” I watch her run a hand over her forehead and back to smooth out the tousled locks. “Okay. See you in a few minutes. Thanks.” When she hangs up the phone, she looks up at me. “I’ll be in as soon as she gets here.”
“Great.” I march back to my office in time to see my assistant glaring at me like she wants to kill me. “Good morning, Katya.”Nice of her to show up today.
“Uh, huh. Cameron’s in your office. But, I suspect you knew that.”
“Yes. When Lexie gets here, send her right in, will you?”
“Of course, Gabriel.”
