“We’re more than good,” I promised her.
CHAPTER 26
TERMS & CONDITIONS
IS CHASE ANDREWS REALLY GIVING THE BUSINESS TO HIS ATTORNEY?
@ShaySpillsTheTea
Short answer: YES!
Chase Andrews was recently seen gallivanting in the streets of New Dawn. Several reports say that the superstar running back has been spending a LOT of time there recently.
Why is this important? Because Amaya Lewis, yes,thatAmaya Lewis—the same one who was his attorney during his recent DV trial—alsolives in New Dawn and the duo was spotted cozied up on a night out.
Y’all think he’s banginghergavel?

Big Sandals hadit out for me. That was the only logical explanation as to why every time something good happened to me, the world fell apart immediately after.
Was it because I had sex before marriage? Nah, couldn’t be. I knewplentyof bitches who been poppin’ pussy since the Stone Age, and nothing like this ever happened to them.
It had to be the time my college boyfriend cheated on me, so I fucked his barber. He had a whole mental episode and never gothis hair cut by a professional again. I just saw that nigga recently and his line up was still asymmetrical as fuck.
Ormaybeit was that time my girls and I went to Padre and robbed these niggas… It was a total accident. We all rode to the beach together and the police pulled up and arrested them. They went to jail and we didn’t realize that their wallets were still in our rental. We had no way of tracking them down, so we took the money for safekeeping, and left the rest of their shit on the beach… Total accident.
“You good, Toni?” Chase asked as he walked up behind me in the bathroom and kissed the top of my head. The sight of his shirtless body in the mirror wasalmostenough to make me forget that I was about to lose my damn job.
“I don’t wanna go,” I whined. I fell asleep to the article and woke up to an email requesting my presence in Oliver’s office first thing in the morning. After I called the restaurant where the leak came from and threatened to sue the damn grass off their walls, they ended up refunding everything Chase had paid for exclusivity times three, but the damage was already done. I knew I had done some reckless shit in my day, but I’d never beenfiredbefore. I had never lost at anything, and even though I hated that fucking job and everything about it, the fact that they thought they could just take it away didn’t sit right with me.
“Just get it over with, baby,” he said in a soothing voice as he rubbed my back. “Whatever happens, I’ll be right here waiting on you when you get back… You want me to drive you?”
“I’m okay,” I smiled back. This man was everything. I don’t know how he did it, but he seemed to talk me down every time. My spirit felt rested and peaceful for the first time that I could remember.
“Okay, just remember—I got you. No matter what happens.” He assured me, and I believed him.
The whole drive into the office, I blasted Money Mani’s most shit talking songs to hype myself up for the inevitable. It was just my luck that the first person I saw when I stepped off the elevatorwas Cowen’s ugly ass. I immediately rolled my eyes at the sight of his thin pursed lips and stupid comb-over.
“Well, I see you wouldn’t open those legs for me, but you did for the football player—guess my bank account wasn’t big enough,” he said low enough for only me to hear him. I leaned closer and answered back with all the rage swirling inside me.
“Bitch, your bank account ain’t big enough, dick ain’t big enough, and you havenolips! If you were the last man on earth, I’d fuck this copy machine before I ever gave you a second look. Don’t fucking try me today Cowen because I swear to God-”
Jocelyn reached me at the exact moment that I reached into my purse for my switchblade. I always flirted with the downstairs security guard so he would let me keep it on me—today was no different. Chase said he had me no matter what, so I was fully prepared to smile in my mugshot and sit in County for an hour or two until he picked me up.
“Hey,” she said, cutting me off and holding my hand firmly. “Let’s get you prepped and ready for this meeting.” She hurriedly pulled me to my office, leaving Cowen there looking like a pissed off pufferfish.
“That’s the second time you saved his ass from being filleted… I won’t spare him a third time,” I said with a frown.
“Girl, fuck him. So, what’s the plan?” I had just prepped myself to give her a rundown of my prepared statements when Oliver’s assistant Brittany knocked and let us know he was ready to see me. I rolled my eyes, and Jocelyn and I parted ways so I could deal with this bullshit.
“Good morning,” Oliver said with a tight smile as I made my way into his office. He was there, alongside a few members of HR.
“Good morning,” I replied, giving him the same energy that he gave me. I smiled warmly at Solei and Reagen, the two members of HR that I was very familiar with.
“I’m sure you know why we are all here today,” he started in a tone like he was giving a eulogy at a funeral.
“I am,” I said with a grave nod.
