Chapter 11
Robin and Amy looked through clothing racks at McMay's.
"Okay," Amy said holding up a revealing red dress. "You should wear this on your date."
"No," Robin said. "It's just a dinner date."
"What's dinner without dessert?" Amy asked.
"He's just taking me out to dinner because he feels bad for the way he treated me earlier," Robin said. "There will be no dessert."
"The thing about my friend Robin was that she had a habit of setting her mind on one thing…"
Robin and Caleb lied down in each other's arms on Robin's bed, having just had sex.
"…and doing the complete opposite."
"Did we just?" Robin asked.
"Uh huh," Caleb replied.
"Meanwhile, another friend of mine was doing the opposite of what she said."
Martina walked up to the front door of the home of her co-worker Dan. Dan opened the door.
"Martina?" Dan asked. "What's going on?"
"You know how you wanted that corner office when Bradley left, but Sandra got it?" Martina asked.
"Yes," Dan replied.
"Well Sandra is leaving the firm to start her own independent firm," Martina said. "I can make sure you get the corner office."
"You can?" Dan asked.
"If you give up your son's position at Barcliff and transfer him to Bridgewater," Martina said.
"Excuse me?" Dan asked.
"You give me your son's spot at Barcliff and I give you the office," Martina said.
"No," Dan said.
"Please!" Martina pleaded. "I really want Victoria to be able to go to that school!"
"I'm not transferring my son to Bridgewater," Dan said. "That's all the way in Mount Pleasant."
"Think about it," Martina said. "The corner office. It has air conditioning, and it's twice as big as the other offices. And that view. Don't get me started on that view."
"I'll call on Monday," Dan said.
"And that is how Martina and Dan both got what they wanted."
