“This isn’t me,” I say. “This is…Someone else.”
“Okay, then.” There’s a smile in his voice. “Hello,someone else.”
“Hello, sir.”
“Is there something you’d like to elaborate on regarding your one-star claim?”
“Yes. The CEO of your company sucks and you should quit before the holidays so he won’t have the chance to ruin your life.”
“Thank you for your feedback, Miss. I appreciate it.”
“You’re not welcome.”
“How are you doing this month?” he asks, his voice low.
“I’m not finished giving your CEO my review yet.”
“I’ll assume it’s as glowing as all the others you’ve left.”
“No, I was planning to complain about something different this time.”
He lets out a low laugh, and butterflies take flight in my stomach.
“It’s good to hear from you this week,” he says. “For a moment, I thought you’d finally moved on and forgotten about me. I was about to call you to see if that was the case.”
“Sir, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“You call me twice a month for small talk, and I call you three times, but you purposely ignore each one and send me a text…”
“That doesn’t sound familiar to me.”
“My day is going quite well by the way.” He changes the subject. “Thank you for asking.”
“You’re welcome.” I tap on my screen. “Well, I have a pretty hectic afternoon ahead, so I’ll let you return to your life.”
“Wait,” he says. “I’ve been meaning to ask you something since last year.”
“Yes, I stole all the supplies in my office before coming home.”
“I already knew that.”
“Yes, I really do hate you.”
“So, why do you keep calling me?”
“I guess I’m hoping to get a voicemail one of these days that says karma has finally served you with a lightning rod death.”
“Hmmm.” He laughs. “Is that how you really feel about me?”
“I don’t haveanyfeelings for you.”
“I think you like hearing the sound of my voice,” he says. “And I think you miss me.”
“I promise that Idon’t.”
“If it means anything, I’d like to see you in person as well,” he says. “I can send a jet for you since I believe we have some unfinished business.”
“I think you’re confusing me with Amy.”
