Chapter 11
I am nervous. I know I sold well, but so had the other realtors. Randy entered the private dining room. My pulse race. Dave and two other men, I seen with them at the hotel in Tampa, are two steps behind.
"Oh my," one of the female realtors says. "I wonder if the men with Mr. Orton are single."
"Good evening," Randy starts when he got to the head of the rectangular table. The three men with him sit on either side of him. John gives him an envelope then steps back. "I want to thank each of you for your hard work. Of course each of you will receive a check for your commissions. As you received previously, the decision is final." He opens the envelope. His face is expressionless. "The winner with three sales is….Kyra Morgan.
I don't know what to expect. Yes I do…I thought Randy would be happy. He wasn't.
After rounds of congratulations and a toast and I told everyone I want to talk to my family. After talking to them there is a knock on the door.
My skin prickles. Randy. "Hello Randy, is there something else?" I ask
"You're a hard woman to forget." He closes the door behind him.
"Having me around is not going to make it any easier."
"I gave John your name, but you could have lost." His fingers trail down my check. "What ever happens to us won't be easy."
"I don't imagine it will be." I finally tell him after a moment silence.
"The bet. Pay up."
"Kyra-" I look at him.
"What?"
"Pay up or suffer the consequences."
"Kyra, I can't smile on demand."
"Then why did you put it in your note." I said referring to the note he wrote me before he left.
"Because-" pause. "Because I wanted you to stay and it was the only thing that you had asked for."
"I guess I'll take a rain check." I didn't say no more.
"I'll see you for breakfast." He says and walks off, leaving me staring at the closed door.
