by. I have to make one quick stop and then Iâll be there before Jason goes to bed so I can see him.â Trying to make her way through the crowd, Jordan decided she would respond when she got outsideand had room.
The girls made it through the exit and stood in the front for a second, checking out the surroundings.
âLet me try to get this cab. My car is parked in the garage by my office,â Jordan said as she stepped into the street to flag down the yellow car.
âWhere are you headed?âTayese asked Randi.
âIâm going to meet my friend at 40/40.â
âOK, Iâm gonna take a cab with J then, because Iâm headed her way.â
âOK, Iâll see you later,â she said as she hugged Tayese.
Randi looked over at Jordan and said, âNice meeting you, Jordan,â
âYou as well,â Jordan responded as she stepped into the cab.
Jordan scooted to the other side of the cab to make room for Tayese. She told the cab driver where she was going and waited for Tayese to get in. Once Tayese sat down in the cab and closed the door, Jordan went in.
âHey, what was up with her?â
âI donât know what that was.Thatâs why I had to get out of there. That man was boring me, and then the two of yâall was bugging me out.â
âShe was normal until you told her we went to law school together, then she just started giving attitude and looking at me all crazy.â
âI noticed, but I was confused as hell,âTayese said, laughing.
âI need you to ask some questions about what that was about, because Iâm curious and a little mad.â
âWhy you mad?â
âBecause Iâm wondering if it has something to do with Jayon.â
âHowâd you reach to that?â
âBecause her friend was supposed to come and changed his mind, Jayon was supposed to come and changed his mind, and I canât imagine what her problem was.â
âThat would be crazy, but I will surely call or e-mail her tomorrow and see if she tells me, âcause I can say she was actingstrange.â
âWhere did she work after that firm?â
âI think she went to this financing firm in midtown. She is still there.â
âHmm ... Jayon worked at a financing firm in midtown.â
âYou are crazy,â Tayese said, laughing at Jordanâs Inspector Gadget look.
âJust investigate,â Jordan said.
âIâm sure you will too.â
âYup.â

âH ey,â Randi said as she walked up to Jayon.
He was sitting at the bar with another gentleman.
âThis is my friend, Randi,â he told the guy.
âHi. Bryce,â the guy responded.
âHello,â Randi replied.
âHow was that event?â Jayon asked.
âVery interesting,â Randi said, making an awkward face at Jayon.
âWhat?â Jayon asked.
âI spent about thirty minutes or so with my friend,Tayese, and Jordan.â
Jayonâs face lit up like he just saw a ghost.
âWhat?â he asked as if he was hoping that he had heard wrong.
âYeah, Jordan.Your girl.â
âHow did you know it was my Jordan?â
Jayon knew it was his Jordan, because he knew his Jordan attended the same event. He also knew it was his Jordan becausehis Jordan was there with her friend Tayese. Although he knew it was his Jordan, he was concerned how Randi knew.
âWell, once I heard she was a lawyer that did entertainment law, I put two and two together. How many black female entertainment attorneys with the name Jordan are there in New York?â
Not really interested in the statistical data or the humor, Jayon ignored her question.
âSo, what happened?â
âDonât worry, Jayon, nothing. I didnât say anything to her. We didnât have some girl moment and bash you all night,â Randi said with an attitude, fully aware that his concern was the state of his relationship
