NO GAMES

I'm busy catching up on work since I haven't been here in two weeks when I hear my phone chime. Ignoring it I continue too eager to clear the pile on my desk. I feel weary just thinking about when I'll be done. I only came back because Nash promised he would talk to the board about rehiring Kace. I know for a fact that the board knows nothing about Nash firing Kace because Kace did not break any rules. He's been working for this company for five good years and is one of the best they have. When my phone won't shut up I glare at it before grabbing it and unlocking it to see who has the nerve to disturb me. Like don't they have things to do other than bother me.

KACE: Beautiful.

KACE: Hey Claire.

KACE: CLAIRE NICHOLE.

ME: Kace what do you want?

I furiously type before pressing send. I'm doing my best to make sure he comes back what else does he want from me.

KACE: You went back to work?

ME: Who told you I quit?
