A large cage with a squawking bird
in it was shoved into Adrienne Stanton’s arms, causing her to fumble the huge
stack of stuffed file folders she’d been carrying. “What am I supposed to do
with this?”
Jacqueline Bronson swept her long,
straightened brown hair off her shoulder with a manicured hand. Her
perfectly-tweezed eyebrows arched in a menacing way. “I don’t care. My ex gave
it to me—as if that was a good
two-month anniversary gift—but we broke up last night, and I don’t want it
anymore. Get rid of it.” She spun on her super-high heel and stalked back to
her desk. The gray material of her power suit didn’t dare wrinkle when she
perched on her high-end arm chair. No cheap rolling chairs for Ms. Bronson!
She glanced up with narrowed eyes. “What
are you waiting for?” She gave her fingers a flick. “Shoo. Go!”
