“Hi. I’m Lamar. Is English your first language?” Why does everyone keep asking me that today?
“You know what you think you know,” I tell him as I plaster Band-Aids on my knees. “I know the truth, you know? Since we’re saying you know about sixty times.”
“No. Smart people learn from those mistakes. Young people who trust the wrong people make the kinds of mistakes you made.”
Remember, if you have any issues or concerns, come talk to me.”
Here Lia go, trusting the wrong ppl again. Smh. She knew the woman was fishing for info and still fed it to her.
So if you hear anything or something seems… out of line or strange or even concerning, please come and speak directly to me about it first before anyone else.”

“I have never wanted anyone the way I want you, Aurelia, and that’s what’s hurting my soul.”
No. Definitely not my girl. That would mean I’d actually have to like her, which I don’t. I simply want to fuck her and since fucking her is off the table, she can officially fuck right out of my head. For good. I’m tired of her presence there.

“You keep talking like that and you’ll never be able to get rid of me. I’ll implant my roots in you like a weed.” “That meant to scare me?”
“I’ll never be done with you. I’ll get never get enough. For you, I’ll keep treading water. Till my muscles burn and my lungs scream and even then I’ll keep going. You deserve the world, Aurelia, and there is nothing more I want than to be the one to give it to you.”
Beth? As in Beth, Beth? The head of HR and the one in charge of interns? She’s his inside person?
I said it! I fucking knew it was her from the jump!
“Oh hell, not another recording,” the woman who I think is named Pat bemoans.
