afraid of hard
work and had proven it to herself and others throughout the
years.
    Her single mother had been
about the worst parent imaginable and had taken her from one crack
house to the next. Amy had always been hungry, dirty and had to
fight her mom’s many friends off on a daily basis.
    She was grateful she’d discovered the
local libraries as her sanctuaries and fell in love with reading.
She’d spent hours going through every book imaginable from opening
till closing.
    The library had been warm and it was
there she knew she’d go to college and never live that way again.
Amy’s mother died when she was only fourteen years old and she had
been one of the lucky few to be placed in a good foster home. It
was there she’d received her first real break in life. Amy had
mourned her mother, even though she hadn’t deserved to be mourned,
but at the same time, she’d known she was one of the lucky ones to
have gotten out of the bad situation.
    She’d gone from a drug infested
apartment to a family friendly neighborhood with a great school and
she’d even earned some scholarships. She already knew how to
survive on nothing and once she graduated and then landed the great
job with the Andersons Corporation her dreams were finally almost a
reality. In one more month she’d finally have a real home of her
own.
    Amy snapped back to reality as she let
herself into her shared rental and looked around her dilapidated
bedroom. She lifted her head high, because she was soon going to be
out of the horrible place and she’d never once look
back.

    Saturday morning, Tom was getting ready
to head out the door and drive to Amy’s house when his phone rang.
“Speak to me,” he said in his usual chirpy voice.
    “I’m looking for Tom, please,” replied
the very formal tone of Lucas.
    “This is Tom. How can I help you, Mr.
Anderson?” Why would the boss be calling him on a
Saturday?
    “Tom, I’m searching for Amy’s address.
The one in her personnel file appears to be wrong. She left her
purse in my car last night and I need to return it. Since you’ve
been carpooling together you must have it.” Tom almost gave the
information to him without thought.
    The way his boss spoke,
came out much more like a command from a drill sergeant. He felt
like he should be saluting and shouting, Yes Sir . He stopped himself in the
nick of time, remembering Amy had a wrong address for a
reason.
    “I’ll be seeing Amy this weekend, Mr.
Anderson. I could take the purse to her. She’s meeting me at the
bar later tonight,” he said. Tom figured this would make all
parties happy. He figured wrong.
    “Tom, I don’t hand over one
employee’s belongings to another employee. I will see to it that
Amy gets her purse back, myself . If you would be so kind as
to give me that address now, then I can get her the purse.” His voice had been
formal before, now it was cold as ice.
    Wow , Tom was thinking, this guy has it
bad. If I want to keep my job, I’d better let him know I’m not
interested . “Um, Mr. Anderson, Amy and I
are just friends. She’s really, really , not my type, if you know
what I mean. So, you don’t have to worry about inter office dating
or anything with us.” He figured Lucas was a smart guy and would
put two and two together.
    There was a short pause on the end of
the line and then a more pleasant sounding Lucas spoke again.
“Well, that’s good. I don’t like dating between my employees, but I
still need that address.” He still spoke with authority, although
not quite as cold.
    Lucas wasn’t happy having to repeat
himself. He was still miffed she’d run from his vehicle the night
before. He didn’t like to be ignored and no one had ever been so
repulsed by his presence they’d felt the need to run away from him,
and now he had two employee’s who didn’t seem to want to give him
what he needed. He was trying not throttle them both.
    “The thing is, I don’t have the
address. I pick her up and drop her
