‘Of course I’m serious. I don’t joke when it comes to my gallery.’ C.K. opened her mouth to speak but was cut off. ‘And I know you previousl... lived in the Big Apple and you didn’t like it, but I promise I will make it worth your while.’ Cady meant to speak, she honestly did, but she felt dumbfounded. This was unbelievable, this was a huge shocker, this was what she was waiting for, this was…bad. This was exactly what Deity had been yelling about last night—leaving and pushing all the slack down. So, I invited him to a private dinner in a hotel and told him that I was a new entrant and I didn’t have the amount he was demanding. I told him that I was helpless and also stated that he cannot demand anything lawfully.From the next day, the office became hell for me. There was no help from my fellow teammates. All tasks were coming towards me. I knew what was happening. So I asked my team leader personally whether there was anything else I could give him instead of the money. I also told him. She said “It’s massive”. He said “How many feet?” She said “None. It’s a fucking snake, mate!”I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his diploma on the wall, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought.. When the squirrel had left, we had then moved to the living room to open our presents.After opening presents, I went outside to do some shoveling so that the driveway would be cleared when we went to visit my brother and a few friends for Christmas dinner.Everyone was excited to finally meet the girl I had spoken about with such enthusiasm. My brother found Anna to be everything I had told him she was. My best friend, John, said that he looked forward to going out together as a couple. My uncle.
