    “Anyway, Daddy, I’ll let the hater do her work since I’m such a distraction.” Samantha rolled her eyes at Sheila and Sheila rolled hers back. She turned her back to Sheila and stood in Greg’s face.
    “Daddy, can I get six hundred dollars?” she asked.
    Sheila smacked her lips.
    “Baby girl, what do you need six hundred dollars for?”
    “I want an iPad. It’s a touch screen computer small enough for me to carry in my purse. Plus, it’ll be great for doing school work on the go.”
    “You always want something for nothing, don’t you?” Sheila chimed in, still not taking her eyes off her computer screen.
    “Alright Sheila,” Greg said. “Yes, baby, you can get it.” He looked over at Sheila. “If you asked for money for things that were going to be beneficial in your life, then you wouldn’t get a hard time either, but all you want money for is to go shopping, as if you don’t already have a huge closet full of things.”
    “That’s why I work now, Daddy, so I can buy my own things without having to ask you for it.”
    “And you’re doing a great job, honey. I don’t know what I’d do without you or Scarlett,” Greg admitted with a grin.
    Scarlett? Sheila thought. She don’t do near as much shit as I do. She knew not to say that out loud, because Scarlett would have been on her ass like white on rice. Plus, Scarlett did do just as much work as Sheila, just on a different level.
    “Thanks, Daddy,” Samantha said with a smile as Greg handed her his credit card. She kissed him on the lips and walked out of the office. “See you later, Scarlett.”
    “Okay Sam, and be careful.”
    Sheila still acted as if she didn’t even hear their conversation. She just kept working.
    Lunch arrived, and instead of Sheila letting Scarlett take the food out into the shop as she normally did, she insisted that she take it out to them herself. Scarlett didn’t think much of it, because she was always moving around the shop, whether she was talking to the men about ordering parts, picking up parts, taking payments, making sure the area was clean, and ordering or picking up lunch for everyone. She rarely sat in her seat for an hour straight. Sheila’s work consisted of her sitting in her seat all day if she wanted to, and entering or updating information on the computer. She would even ask Scarlett to get her certain folders out of the cabinets that sat closer to her than Scarlett. For the most part, she treated Scarlett like a do-girl, but Scarlett didn’t mind. She liked her job, and the pay that came along with it was way better than the pay at McDonald’s.
    After lunch, Scarlett was standing to the counter taking a payment from a client as Sheila walked back inside the office from outside the shop. She sat down behind the desk and watched Scarlett from behind. She hated that Scarlett had stepped her game up and was looking good for a change. It was sad, but she wanted to be the only good-looking person walking around the place since her mom was gone. She knew that it would be over now, because Scarlett was really feeling her new look and she would never go back to looking the way she used to.
    Finally, about two hours before the workday ended, Sheila decided she’d talk to Scarlett about her date with Jay. She’d been so jealous hearted and hateful the whole day after seeing Scarlett in this new light, that she didn’t even want to talk with her.
    “Hey Scarlett, I know we’ve been a little busy today, but I wanted to tell you that Jay and I had a wonderful time last night.”
    “Well, that’s good.” Scarlett nonchalantly stated.
    “He took me out to Myabi’s and we had a ball drinking and eating.”
    “I’m glad to hear that, Sheila.”
    “I could tell that he wanted to take things to another level from the tongue kissing we were doing, but I figured that I should wait. I didn’t want to seem too easy.” She laughed. “What do you think?”
    I think you should have given him some,
