Author's Note: I was very sad! Nobody reviewed, besides one person. Boo Hoo! Please review people. Thank you, it will make me very happy. This chapter is kind of like the movie called Little Black Book, so if you start to realize that this plot is familiar then blame it on that movie. Hehehe!
Lizzie was driving over to Carl's office to tell him about that Abby was having a piano recital next week and to give him the divorce papers. Yes, it was finally over; she was finally going to be a free woman. There would be no more stress, well at least until another month.
She stepped out of her car and entered the building to where Carl worked. He worked on the first floor and she went to where his desk was. She was surprised that he wasn't there, so she decided to wait.
The secretary came up to her and asked, "May I help you?"
"Oh, no, I'm just waiting for my husband. Do you know where he is?" she questioned.
"You mean Mr. Childers?"
"Yes."
"He is in a meeting; do you want me to get him from that meeting?"
"No thank you. I'll wait for him."
The secretary asked her if she wanted coffee or anything, but she shook her head and turned her to his desk. She looked at the tidy desk and came across a palm pilot. It was the new one that she had wanted and had asked her husband to get her for her birthday. She grabbed the palm pilot and glanced to see if anyone was looking.
She turned it on and there was his email with a list of contacts on the side of it. She glanced at his mailbox and decided to read one from his boss.
Hey Honey!
I'm so happy to hear you divorced that horrid woman. She was horrid, wasn't she? Anyway, what I emailed you for was to ask you if you wanted to go out tonight and do something special? You know, just the two of us. Call me at 683-2940.
Thanks, Sweetie!
Love,
Your Naught Boss
Lizzie looked at the email in disgust and quickly went to the next one. The next one was similar except for a different person.
Hey Carl,
This is Kate Saunders, the one that you met at the bar the other day. You gave me your email address to me and telephone number, so I decided to email you instead.
Listen, I had a really fun night last night and if we could do something like this again, then that would be great. That was such a great date and I really do think that we have a lot in common.
Anyway my home number is 847-4920 and my cell phone number is 593-2840.
Thanks,
Kate Saunders
Lizzie gasped. Kate Saunders, the girl who jeered her in middle schools and became best friends with her in high school. They then lost touch because Kate went to Paris to get her fashion degree. Why was she in Hillridge, California? She probably didn't even know that Lizzie's husband was her temporary fling. She probably didn't even know that he had been cheating not only on her, but the boss, and Lizzie. Who else was he cheating on?
Lizzie went to the next email and looked, it was from somebody named Stacy Kidman. She looked at this email and decided to open it.
Carl or should I say Neptune,
I see the future... I see you wearing a tuxedo and you taking me out to Chez Pierre. And you pick me up around 5:00 PM.
May the power of the stars be with you.
Stacy or should I say Uranus ;-)
Who were these freaky people? I mean at least Kate was normal, but the seductive boss and the Uranus psychic was definitely freaking her out.
How could he cheat on her? At least when people they cheat, they cheat on one or two people, but three is quite absurd. It used to be four, because if Lizzie hadn't of gotten out of the trap, she would of been it forever.
Lizzie thought of a scheme to get back at Carl and decided to take the palm pilot with her. She tucked it in her purse and bid her goodbyes to Carl's fellow workers.
She grabbed her cell phone, which was in the car, and called Miranda. She picked it up on the third ring and said, "Hello."
"Miranda, you will never guess what I found in Carl's office," Lizzie told her.
"What?"
"You know those new palm pilots that I pointed out to you in the magazine that I got. The really cool ones that have internet access and are color and that is also a cell phone, too."
"Yeah."
"Well Carl has one and so I decided to look at it."
"Lizzie, even if he's your ex-husband, you should at least respect his personal property."
"You're sounding like my mother. But this time, I had a good reason to take it."
"YOU TOOK IT!"
"Well I have a good reason."
"What happens when Carl figures out that you have his palm pilot."
"Don't worry, I will slip it back in his office before he even notices, but just please listen to me."
"I'm listening."
"Okay, good. When I was looking at his email., I know Miranda I was snooping through his email, but I found emails from these women. I read all their emails and they we're all dating Carl. And listen to this one of them is Kate Saunders. The other woman is his boss and the other one is a psychic."
"KATE SAUNDERS! I thought she knew that he was your husband and doesn't she live in Paris."
"Well, I guess she is back in town and I never even invited her to the wedding because she moved somewhere elsewhere and I couldn't give her invitation."
"So what are you going to do about it?"
"This is my plan, I have each one of these women's phone numbers so I can call them and somehow weasel out if they have a boyfriend and I'll somehow break it to them that their boyfriend is my husband. My husband's boss already knows, so that is taken care of. I can schedule an appointment with a psychic and I can go visit Kate and tell her how I have been doing and bring up my husband."
