Chapter 40 Chevy
Chevy
I felt good when I walked into my office the next day. I even drank the green tea that was waiting for me on my desk. I really needed those few hours I’d spent out last night with the girls. And to finally sleep in my own bed again! Ahhhh, that alone made me feel like a new woman!
I was musing on the fact of how happy I was to have slept in my own bed, when a soft knock came at my door.
“Come in.”
Dante pushed the door open. Even though it was just forty-five degrees outside, Dante was dressed in baggy white Bermuda shorts that almost looked like high-waters on his minuscule frame.
On his feet he wore open-toed brown Birkenstocks and a white buttoned-up blouse that had frills cascading down the center.
I didn’t get it—but, hey, that was Dante for you.
“What’s up, Dante?”
Dante smirked at me. He had a file in his hand, which he tossed onto my desk from where he stood in the doorway.
I slowly put my cup of tea down. “What’s this?”
“Well, Miss Honey,” he started as he rolled his head on his neck and pursed his lips, “it seems that you will be accompanying Anja on the Look-See this year.”
“The Look-See ?” I repeated slowly. “What’s that?”
My ignorance did nothing but infuriate Dante.
He stepped inside my office and slammed the door behind him.
“Don’t play coy with me!” he yelled, waving his index finger in the air.
“I don’t know what you did to get me booted, but I will find out and when I do—” Dante took that moment to use his index finger as a knife and dragged it across his neck while he made a ripping sound with his mouth.
“Dante,” I said as I cautiously reached for the file, “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
“Oh, really, Miss Backstabber!” he bellowed, and then turned on his Birkenstock heels, swung the door open, and stormed out.
I sat there for a moment trying to digest what had just happened. None of it was making sense, so I picked up the folder and opened it.
It was a memo from Anja to Dante with a CC to me.
To: Dante
CC: Chevy
The Look-See this year will take place June 1–June 5 on the beautiful island of Virgin Gorda, which is located in the British Virgin Islands.
We will be staying at the exclusive Little Dix Bay Resort!
Please check your email for travel information.
Chevanese Cambridge will be accompanying me this year. Dante Whitaker will be her backup while she’s off-site.
Anja
I read and reread the memo and still didn’t know what a “Look-See” was. Oh, well, I laughed to myself as I leaned back into my leather swivel chair, I was going to Virgin Gorda!
