Chapter 16

"Hey, Amy, what are you daydreaming about?"

I snapped back to reality.

"What do you think would happen if I posted this in the company group chat?"

Jessica saw the panic in my eyes and looked pretty pleased with herself.

"Don't think I don't know. Last time, I just said a few things about you, and somehow one of your sugar daddies managed to get me fired."

"I may be back at work now, but my bonus is way less than yours."

"How am I any less than you?"

"This time, let's see who dares to stick up for you. You better start packing up your desk."

I stared silently at Jessica, all dolled up and sharp-tongued, "So your goal is just to get me to quit?"

"Not just that..." She gazed dreamily towards the boss's office.

"Are you allergic to cat hair? Can you scoop litter?"

"What? What's with all this poop talk?" She acted like she could actually smell it, covering her nose in disgust. "Amy, you're being so gross right now." She waved her hand and walked off.

Happy's got long fur, and when he's got the runs, it's a real mess.

Jessica actually went and posted that photo on the company intranet. Happy and I were in the spotlight again, in high-def this time.

The company chat blew up.

"Isn't that Amy with Mr. Black's cat?"

"That fancy ride isn't something just anyone can afford! Who's that?"

"Is that really something you should be asking?"

"Is Amy taking Mr. Black's cat on dates with other guys?"

"Other guys?..."

"Amy's never short on male attention." That was from Jessica.

"If she's being kept by some rich guy, why's she here competing with us for a paycheck?"

"Yeah, she's drowning in bonuses and awards. Can't she leave some crumbs for those of us who rely on skill, not looks?"

"If she's so well-off, stop hogging all the money!"

Just like that, I became public enemy number one.

After thinking it over, I decided to call Noah about the photo situation.
