schedule a brief staff meeting to talk about it.”
    This heifer loves meetings.
    â€œThat sounds like a personal issue that the campus police department has already handled. The lady’s husband didn’t even work here. The only disturbing thing that happened is a woman made a big fool of herself. Couldn’t be me.”
    â€œWell, Alexis, you definitely have a lot to say for someone who thinks the incident has nothing whatsoever to do with you.”
    â€œIt’s just my opinion.”
    â€œThat’s fine, but my concern is for everyone here to feel safe,” Kiara continued. “In fact, it’s my duty to create a secure environment. And while it is somewhat true that what people do on their own time is their own business—”
    â€œAt least we agree on that.”
    â€œAlexis, I beg your pardon. Is there something going on that you’re not telling me? You’ve been snapping at me ever since you came in my office.”
    Alexis frowned and her eyes rested on an eight-by-ten silver picture frame that was prominently displayed by Kiara’s office telephone. She stared at the black-and-white photo of her lover, Rashad, snuggling cheek to cheek with Kiara. Their six-year-old son, Myles, was sitting on his mother’s lap. Kiara was grinning and her eyes sparkled with joy. Rashad’s lips curled into a proud grin. This must have been a new photo.
    Alexis felt teary-eyed. The handsome boy greatly favored Rashad.
    â€œThis is some crap,” Alexis said out loud and rose to her feet.
    â€œWhat did you say? Why are you getting up? The meeting isn’t done yet.”
    Alexis clapped her hands over her mouth.
    â€œI think I have food poisoning. Excuse me.”
    Alexis stumbled out of Kiara’s office and hurried to the restroom. She burst into an empty stall and fell to her knees. She flung up the toilet seat and placed her face over the white porcelain commode. It was cold and sterile. And the thought of her face being so close to where people emptied their bowels made her more nauseated.
    â€œOh, God,” she said just before her stomach unloaded. Her mouth spread open wider and wider as she vomited. Her forehead beaded with sweat and she wished she could remove her jacket.
    Once her stomach settled, she went back to her desk, opened a drawer with her key, and removed a clear plastic bag in which she stored toothpaste, a toothbrush, mouth rinse, and dental floss. She called it her “Freakum Bag” because she also kept two extra pairs of black thongs in it just in case.
    Alexis returned to the restroom, thoroughly cleaned out her mouth, and got freshened up.
    As much as she hated to do it, she walked back into Kiara’s office and closed the door.
    â€œSorry about that. I feel better now that I’ve gotten rid of something that wasn’t making me feel good.”
    â€œWhere’d you go for lunch?”
    â€œWhere’d I go for lunch?”
    â€œYes, you said you experienced food poisoning. Maybe you should call that restaurant and let them know.”
    â€œUm, that won’t be necessary.”
    Kiara gave Alexis a quizzical look. “Have you eaten there before?”
    â€œHave I eaten there before? Look, don’t worry about it. It’s not even that serious.”
    â€œJust say the word and I’ll call wherever you ate lunch today.”
    Alexis gulped. “Please. Don’t.”
    â€œI won’t. But if I were you, I would never go back to that place again. Now will you please send out an invite for a thirty-minute meeting? It can start at three.”
    â€œIf you say so; I don’t think this is needed. But you’re the boss.”
    â€œI’m sure everyone is going to feel differently about this but, as a married woman, it’s a topic that’s close to the chest. It’s never good when couples put their business out on the street. And from what I hear, this situation was completely
