bed. Lying on her back she stared up at the ceiling.
She could hear the low murmur of Jacie and Max in the other room. The sounds of the TV sometimes drowning out their voices. Cadance lay in bed for a while, until she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door.
Pizza, she thought. She was actually really hungry now and pizza sounded wonderful.
Rising from the bed she went to the living room and joined Max and Jacie there. Sitting in the recliner at the end of the couch she grabbed a piece of pizza from the box on the coffee table.
The group sat watching TV in silence, eating their pizza. After watching a movie, Jacie and Max decided to go to their room. Cadance thought of it as their room, even though Max had his own apartment he never stayed there. She expected a proposal to come any day. The couple had been together for four years already.
Tired of watching TV, Cadance went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and changed into a t-shirt for bed. Lying in bed she attempted to go to sleep. She was finally able to after lying in bed for several hours.
Chapter 3
"Crap, crap, crap", Candace said as she spotted the run going up the side of her pantyhose. She had planned to get to work early today but nothing seemed to be working out.
She'd dropped her lipstick on the white blouse she'd first put on, smearing it all the way down the front of it. Changing into the pale blue blouse she'd pulled her hair out of the knot she'd finally managed to get it up into. After she'd fixed her hair she'd tried to grab a cup of coffee and had dropped the clear glass sugar canister in the process. It had shattered all over the floor, waking Jacie up.
Jacie, seeing her distress, had shooed her out of the kitchen and cleaned the mess up. Now, just as she was about to walk out the door, she'd found the run. Growling n frustration, she walked inside the door of her room and yanked off the pantyhose, using her hand against the wall to hold herself up.
Getting the pantyhose off, she put her shoes back on. She didn't want to waste any more time finding another pair. She checked her black pencil skirt and pale blue, short-sleeved blouse in the mirror as she passed it in the hallway.
Here black 3 inch heels clicking on the bare floor in the entryway, she yelled bye to Jacie. Jacie called back to here to have a good day, Cadance could smell the food Jacie had begun cooking and wished she had time to eat.
Knowing she didn’t she grabbed her house and hurried out the door. Moving down the stairs as quickly as she could in her heels, she soon came to the door of the apartment building'. Reaching the sidewalk she turned right and hurried towards the business section of town.
Reaching the corner, she crossed against traffic, some of the drivers yelling at her. Finally back on the sidewalk she continued the rest of the way to work.
Reaching the five story building she stopped to catch her breath. Looking up at all the shiny windows lining the building, she looked to the very top right side and read the name there. Douglas International.
The company she worked for, Douglas International, was a family owned company. She had learned her first day there that three brothers had founded the company right out of college. The company dealt in stocks, bonds, and other financial areas. Cadance knew that the company had several other areas that they pursued also.
Her boss was the middle son of one of the brothers. He like her, she'd been told, had graduated college recently and had taken a job at the family business. She hoped that he would be nice to work for. No one had really talked to his previous assistant. She'd kept to herself mostly.
Finally getting her breath, Cadance began walking to the building. She approached the lobby doors and paused to let the man ahead of her go in. Holding the door for her, he smiled at her.
