Chapter Eighteen - Public Offering
Kathy did not wake up until eleven the next morning. She was happy to discover that Stella and Richie had gone. There was a note on the kitchen counter from Stella.
“My Dear Kathy,
I’m so proud of you. I intend to give Mr. Stein a glowing report. I understand you serviced Richie again before he fell asleep. How you can even bring yourself to be in the same room with him is still a mystery to me. It’s become clear that for some strange reason you mean it when you say that you are his woman. I don’t think he knows yet just how much control he has over you, but he’s beginning to understand. When he fully realizes it, you better be careful. Richie has no conscience and, as you know, he is mean as a junkyard dog.
Thank you for making me come so good. You
