couldn’t believe a year had been wasted with the prick.
    The rest of the night she hadn’t slept a wink, and today she felt like a complete mess. Now, while she stood in the office, staring down at Jennifer, she felt even worse. The little bitch tapped away at the keyboard like nothing major had happened the night before.
    Jennifer glanced up and smiled. For a second, Eileen imagined the girl’s head snapping back and blood gushing from her nose.
    “Yes?”
    She shook the beautiful image out of mind and refocused. “You’re fired.”
    Jennifer’s fingers stilled over the keys and her face paled. “What? Why?”
    “For fucking my lead driver, that’s why.”
    The secretary pushed her office chair back, like she was ready to bolt. Eileen wanted to grab the bitch and make her regret ever laying eyes on Bobby.
    “Eileen? Eileen!”
    She gasped and took a step back. Wide-eyed, she stared at Jennifer’s shocked face. Good thing Ty had walked in right at that moment because she’d almost acted on angry impulse. All of the stress and pain she’d suffered for so long made her snap.
    While Eileen stood frozen and stared at him, Jennifer raced to the door. She stared back with a wicked smile, even though her eyes still held a hint of fear. “I’m surprised you didn’t fire me sooner. I figured your little boy-toy would’ve told you already.”
    “What are you talking about?”
    Jennifer nodded to Ty. “Your black stud here didn’t tell you he saw us together the other night?” Jennifer laughed, pleased she’d planted the seeds of doubt. “Poor girl. Looks like everybody uses you.” The bitch walked out, letting the office door slam behind her.
    Eileen broke down, unable to take any more. A sob burst from her lips, and she sank into the chair Jennifer had vacated. He moved to come forward, but she wasn’t having that. “Don’t you fucking dare. Get away from me.”
    “It isn’t what you think—”
    “Isn’t it?”
    He stared at the floor. Maybe he was just like Jennifer and Bobby, but worse. He’d made her feel so good, just to hurt her like the rest of them. Lies. Everybody lied.
    “Isn’t it?” she shrieked.
    “I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”
    A calm settled over her, and she grabbed the edge of the desk and pulled the chair in, turning her back to him. “I suggest you get back to work.”
    “Will you talk to me, please? I swear—”
    “I have nothing left to say. Now, get out of here.”
    Determined not to give in and turn around to see his handsome face, Eileen sat still, tears streaming down her cheeks. When the door closed did she glance over to where he’d departed and started bawling. After a while, exhaustion took over, and she fell asleep at the desk.
    The door buzzed sometime later. Groggy and disoriented, she looked up and rubbed her eyes.
    “Did I just catch you sleeping on the job, honey?”
    Eileen blinked, trying to focus. “Melody? I’m sorry. What time is it?”
    The mail lady approached the front counter and dropped a stack of mail in front of her. “It’s almost three, dear. Where’s Jennifer?”
    She straightened. “It’s a long story, but I had to let her go.”
    Melody frowned. “Don’t tell me you’re doing front desk now, too.”
    “Unfortunately, yes. But enough about me. How are you?”
    “Oh, same old, my dear…same old.” The older woman tapped her fingernails on the counter and glanced around, not wanting to leave yet.
    Eileen watched Melody’s features while the woman took in the office. No wonder her father stared at her so hard. The woman was beautiful. If it wasn’t for the pure white hair, she would never have guessed she was well into her fifties. She had to admit, Melody made the blue postal shorts and shirt sexy.
    An idea popped into mind. “You were a receptionist for a dentist before the mail service, right?”
    “Yes I was, dear.” She narrowed her eyes in suspicion. “Why?”
    Eileen tried not to grin too hard. “I’ll
