I mean, he was all hung up on my sister while I was hung up on him! What kind of person did that
make me, wanting my sister’s cast off?
But… I couldn’t help the way it made me feel.
I frowned. “I saw you sitting here, and I thought I’d come say hi while I waited for a few of my
colleagues to arrive. Am I interrupting?”
He was quick to shake his head.
“No, actually,” he said. “I’m here meeting a… friend.”
I blinked, then felt something in the pit of my stomach start to churn.
“Oh?” I said, feeling my belly tighten.
He cleared his throat. “Yeah, it was a last-minute thing…”
“Theo, you made it!”
I blinked and turned my head to see Shondra, a woman that worked with me.
Shondra, the woman that made it her life’s mission to do things to me, inside and outside of work,
to make me look bad.
Luckily, I’d yet to experience anything that I couldn’t come back from. And me not retaliating was
driving her insane. She hated that I didn’t fight back.
Me? Well, I just hated her, period.
I officially had two more weeks at Tool & Associates in San Antonio, Texas before my ‘real life’
began.
I had officially graduated, I’d passed the bar, and now I was on my way to the real deal—a
grown-up job with a firm that would put my skills to use.
The only problem was, I kept expecting Tool & Associates to offer me a job since I’d been
interning with them for a year now. Yet, all I heard were crickets. I didn’t get an offer or anything. I mean, I’d given them a year of my life that I didn’t have to give.
What the absolute fuck?
Needless to say, I had a feeling that had a lot to do with Shondra seeing as she was vying for the
same job.
Shondra who was staring at the man that I had a thing for.
Shondra who was glaring at me like I’d committed some faux pas by talking to Theo.
I wanted to scream, “I saw him first!”
Yet, I managed to control myself. Barely.
