“What do you want me to do?” I ask, sounding every bit as annoyed as I feel. “I work hard. I bring in a lot of clients. I can’t force them to make me a partner.”
“Exactly. So, if you manage to get Bulgari to settle out of court and they still don’t offer it, tell them you’re leaving—and taking your clients with you.” She lifts her chin and gives me a smug look that says, that’s what I would do. And she would.
“We’ll see,” I say, pursing my lips together.
“I don’t want to fight with you,” she says, offering me a sad smile. “I just believe in you so much and I can’t stand the thought of you working for people who don’t see how amazing you are.”
“It’s okay. I get it,” I say, before leaning down and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
“I hope so, because I just want what’s best for you.”
“I know.” It just doesn’t feel that way sometimes.
Chapter Five
Jen
Rolling over in bed, I make a grab for my phone before even getting up to tinkle.
JFlan: Today’s the day! I have no idea what to wear to work and I forgot to ask. The only nice dress I have is the one I wore yesterday. That should be okay, don’t you think?
GOD: If it was nice enough to get you the job, I’m sure it’s nice enough to wear on the job. Don’t worry. You’ve got this.
JFlan: I’m going to give my dog walking clients notice today. I feel bad leaving them in the lurch, but it’s more important that I’m not evicted and living on the street. Don’t you think?
GOD: Yes.
JFlan: I can’t thank you enough, Gabe. Can I call you Gabe, or is that reserved for your close friends?
GOD: Gabe is fine. Listen, I’ve got a big presentation this morning and need to book, but let me know how your first day goes, okay?
Who in the world does God present to? And what does he present, plans for a new galaxy? A new species of animal?
JFlan: Righto! Also, just so you know, I’m going to pay it forward today and do something nice for a total stranger. Thanks for the advice you gave Zay. He hardly ever leaves his apartment and now he has to actually go into work. We ordered some lifts for him online but in the meantime, I’m going to teach him how to walk in high heels. If he can do that, then the lifts will be a breeze.
GOD: …
GOD: …
GOD: … Happy to help.
