to run that tired game on me. I am the youngest of five with four older brothers. I know all of the pitiful lines that guys will try use when wanting to get into the pants of a female. If you want a quick screw, then you’ve got the wrong girl. I don’t do notches on belts. If you want something more, then try again when your cheek heals.”
    Tyson stood stunned for a few minutes before he gave a slight nod of his bald head and walked away. All of the guys were shocked that he’d said nothing in response, if the mumbled words and slight whispers were any indicator. There were times when the men really were worse than some of the women he knew with the gossip. Ty turned back around. Jogging up to Paulette, he snatched her phone out of her hand. She’d been on it so her usual screen lock wasn’t showing. Quickly entering his information, he made a call to his phone then handed hers back to her. Ty didn’t say a word. He just walked away.
    Paulette stood quiet for a few minutes before turning to Dario and speaking with confusion peppering her voice, “Mr. Anderson, I’m sorry that you had to witness that. I don’t usually do those sorts of things. I don’t want the men here to think that I’m the type of female to just allow any and everything to fly. I’m here to work, not be chased down like some prize for some idiotic male. Please excuse my reaction.”
    “Paulette, you have nothing to apologize for. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to seek me out and let me know. I won’t allow any of my employees or co-workers to feel disrespected or mistreated whether male or female. Know that it is not tolerated.”
    “Thank you, Mr. Anderson. I appreciate that. I’m fine. Like I said, I grew up in a house with four brothers. It takes a lot more than a rude statement to get under my skin. I’ll go take care of the paperwork you needed me to when I return to the office. I’ll come back after everyone has eaten something. Maybe the guys will be on better behavior if they’ve got full stomachs. Have a good lunch, guys.”
    Dario laughed at the shocked expressions on all of the men’s faces that stood around him. They couldn’t believe she stuck them so quick and moved on without a backward glance. Tyson looked to be licking his wounds in the corner with two other guys. His phone was in his hand. He looked to be texting. Looking in Paulette’s direction, she was as well. Maybe, he didn’t have to lick his wounds. They didn’t appear to run too deep. It looked like things might be looking up for Tyson. Too bad Dario couldn’t say the same for his own situation.

    Lynnia ran from one thing to another. She had a laundry list of things that needed to be handled and not enough time to do any of it in. She’d officially been going since five o’clock that morning. There was something about just keeping busy that kept her moving forward. She’d done everything in her power to make sure she was too busy to dwell on any part of the incident that happened almost a week ago.
    The good thing about it all was the two of them didn’t regularly see each other. They’d each made special trips to see one another in the past. This week had been one free of him. it wasn’t for lack of trying on his part. When she’d called Carlita to check in she’d been informed that he’d called her a few times before giving up on calling and just taking to dropping by the restaurant. All she had to do was make it two more days and she would be on a plane out of town. Two weeks in Cancun and another week in California awaited her. Her high school friend, Suzanna Marshall, was going to meet her the last week in Cancun and she couldn’t wait. Carlita had asked her at the beginning of the year if she planned on taking a vacation this year or not. At the time, she didn’t see the point. When she looked at the calendar, she realized she hadn’t taken one the year
