Chapter 2
Greenlee knocked as politely as she could on Erica's door, and was
rewarded with a "Come in!"
She entered almost hesitantly. The smile faded instantly from
Erica's
face. "Oh," she said with disdain. "What did YOU want?"
"I do work here, remember?" Greenlee inquired, trying not to get
sarcastic.
"Yes and I told you to keep OUT of this office 'remember'?" Erica
offered
with a sugary- sweet smile.
"But I needed to tell you something-" Greenlee started to protest.
"Then write me a memo," Erica said lightly, practically shoving
Greenlee
out the door. "And just so you know, that skirt really does NOTHING for
you."
"That's it!" Greenlee snapped. "I've tried to be nice! I came here
in
good faith-"
Erica laughed, tossing her hair. "Somehow I find that VERY
difficult to
believe."
"Believe what you want. Because I quit!"
Erica's mouth dropped open. "You WHAT?"
"Just think of it as another step on my road to success," Greenlee
shrugged. "My resignation will be on you're desk by noon."
Erica looked at her suspiciously. "You're up to SOMETHING,
Greenlee.
What, do you think I'll find you irreplaceable? Because I assure you
that I
won't. If you walk out the door, don't bother coming back."
"Don't worry," Greenlee said, turning. "If I have my way you'll
never see
me again. And just so you know, you might want to have your accountants
checked out."
She stormed out.
The reality that she didn't have a job hit Greenlee slowly as she
walked
out of the Enchantment building and into what seemed to be an overly
bright
street. She realized that her father would most likely be disappointed
AGAIN,
then shrugged. It wasn't like he'd ever done much for her.
Without even realizing where she was going she headed for SOS. Once
there
she marched directly up to the bar, figuring that getting slightly
drunk
would make her feel better.
