“How is my new tenant fairing?”
“All the office equipment is operating properly. I am stocking the shelves. It’s nice of you to drop by.”
Just as Sarah stock ed the last item , Woo d row walked up behind her and then planted a kiss delicately on her neck. She smiled and then stated , “You should not start something if you don’t plan on finishing it .”
“I plan to finish it. ”
Sarah said, “Excuse me for a moment.” A f ter locking the door, she turned to face Woo d row. She removed her wrap around skirt . He lifted her up onto the gla ss counter top desk in the center of the room. S ounds of sexual grat i fication exuded through the walls .

Her A ssistant Jamila said, “Isn’t he ma r ried?”
“Yes. He is married. He is a dirty dog. His wife is sick. She has a fatal illness. ”
“ We should not have laughed. He ought to be castrated. Men like that are despicable. ”

Sarah dropped in on Lucinda unexpectedly. “I didn’t know you were in town.”
Sarah said , “I flew in to help close a deal for work on a mansion and to checkout my new Dallas Satellite office . Two weeks ago I opened another Sat e llite office at the Titanimum ’ s r e sort in Los Angeles. ”
“I need someone to talk with. I’m glad you are here.”
“What’s wrong, Lucinda.”
“My marriage is ruined. I’m pregnant.”
“Congratulations. Does David know about the baby?”
“I haven’t told him yet.”
“Why haven’t you told him? Are you wai t ing for the right time?”
“I am waiting for the right time. But I’m not looking forward to doing so.”
“He will make a good dad.”
“Stop it! You hear me! Stop it!”
“Okay. What’s wrong?”
“David is infertile; he can not have chi l dren.”
“No Lucinda. Let me guess. You are pre g nant by Vincent James.”
“I am weighing my options.”
“There should only be one option.”
“I’m not going to have an abortion. I could divorce David and raise the baby on my own with support from Vincent.”
“Your life would be a mess. You should get an abortion.”
“Maybe I’ll reconsider, however, right now, I’m lending towards keeping the baby.”
“Does Vincent like the idea of being a dad?”

When his wife found out about us, we drew even closer. However, tra g edy struck, his wife became stressed , which r e sult ed in a traffic accident that killed an elde r ly man. I paid to have the vehicular homicide charge against his wife dropped. To make matters worse, Johnny is now serving time in prison for accepting a bribe and money lau n dering.”
“We both should be a shame of ourselves.”
“I still wake up at night crying wishing my husband hadn’t died.”
“I miss him as much as you. Jared was a good man. I know he was your husband. Ho w ever, I wish he could have been mine. Would you like to join me for a drink?”
“Yes.”
“Sometimes at night, I get lonely waiting on David to come home. Life is not easy if you are married to someone working a night shift. So tonight, I was going to curl up with a pillow and my booze while watching a movie. By the time they finished the movie, Sarah was co m pletely smashed. Lucinda covered her with a blanket.
