happened but since it did, I’m assuming that you wanted it and now you’re trying to backpedal to make it seem like it didn’t mean something to you.”
    He sighs. “Look, it can never happen again because my Mom would never approve of you. You’re not the type of girl she would want me to end up with.”
    Bullshit! I think to myself.
    I know that he’s using his Mom as an excuse, but I need to know if that’s the only angle that he’s going to try and use to deflect the situation. “Okay and is that your only reason? Your Mom?”
    “And investors would walk away from the company if they knew I was dating the daughter of a disgraced jailed investor. It would harm my reputation and this company and I won’t allow something like that to happen. Not when I’m just beginning to show what I can do if I put my mind to it,” he says.
    I laugh, not because it’s funny but because he really believes the stuff that he’s trying to sell to me.
    “If the investors knew what really goes on in this company, you would’ve been broke a long time ago because they would’ve walked. You were drunk, lazy, and partied hard to no end every day I was here up until today. I think they would prefer me over the lifestyle that you lived. And to throw my Dad in my face is a low blow. I’m nothing like him and I never will be anything like him. I saw what he did to my family and to other people’s families and you think that I would want to follow in his footsteps? You’re lucky that I’m too professional or else I would slap you right now and I wouldn’t feel the least bit sorry about it.”
    “I understand that you’re hurt…” he begins to say.
    “Hurt? Rhett, you’re nothing but a spoiled rich little brat! You don’t know how to enjoy life because you’ve been too busy downing yours in a bottle. You really need to grow the hell up and stop trying to push false issues off on me when you’re the one who has the problem! You jerk! I can’t believe that I thought you could really change and be an adult. Well FYI being an adult doesn’t mean you transfer your problems off to the next available person. You’re a real piece of work and I hope that you get everything that you deserve.”
    I grab my stuff and storm out of the office.
    What a prick.
    What a stuck-up, rich, prick.

    I’m still fuming about Rhett as I hop into my car and begin to drive to my Mom’s house
    The nerve of him to try and throw my past and my father in my face!
    I know what my father did was wrong, but I am nothing like him.
    Nothing.
    Like.
    Him.
    I am a strong, independent woman.
    If anything, I have tried everything in my power to not be like him and make a better name for myself.
    Mom always has a way of making me feel better about the things going on in my life.
    After about fifteen minutes, I pull up to her house and use my key to go inside. She is in the kitchen cooking as usual and it warms me to know that I will always have one person to go to when I’m upset.
    “Hi Mom,” I say as I sit down at the table.
    She turns around and smiles. “Hi Jessica! I wasn’t expecting you today. What a nice surprise and you’re just in time I was about to eat dinner.”
    “I know, I just thought I’d drop in for a little bit and see how you were doing,” I say.
    She stares at me. “Something is on your mind, isn’t it?”
    I laugh. “Mom, something is always on my mind. And if there is nothing on my mind then I must be asleep because it’s the only time my mind stops running a million miles a minute.”
    “You know what I mean, sweetheart. Something is bothering you.”
    “Yes.”
    “So what is it? Quit beating around the bush sweetie,” she says
    “It’s this job mom…” I start to say before she cuts me off.
    “Is Rhett still being hard on you, sweetie? I’m telling you I think it will get easier you just have to be strong and hang in there a little
