Toni
"So intoxicated
I'm so stimulated
Feel so X-rated
I could dance all night
As long as it's funky (funky... funky)
This rhythm just makes me high
I'm like a junkie
I could dance all night." I watched a video of Janet performing one of her songs. She looked so fucking sexy. I remember when she first recorded the video for this. When she was working out to get fit for it, her body looked so delicious. Damn.

It's been about a week and a half since we heard from my lawyer. I was still very hurt by what happened. I thought Janet and I were going to work it out, I guess she doesn't want that. I guess what happened was a fluke.

"Toni!" I jumped and sat my phone on my desk.

"Yes?" Tamar stood in front of me.

"Do you not hear your phone ringing?"

"Oh. Thanks." She left out and picked my phone up. "Hello. This Toni."

"Toni, how are you?" It was my lawyer.

"I'm good, how are you?"
"I'm good. So I've been looking over everything and I believe I have organized all of your assets, so whenever you are ready we can schedule a meeting with Janet and her lawyer."

"Yes, that's good."

"So when would you like to do this?"

"Umm, am I able to just specify what I want and then it gets sent to her lawyer?"

"Uh, yeah. It takes longer but it can be done that way."

"That's fine. Let's do that."

"Okay, you can actually specify over the phone now."

"Awesome." I talked back and forth with my lawyer about the things I wanted. It was hard to choose on some things, but I got through it. There was one thing in particular that I wanted back. If she didn't agree to anything else it was fine, but this, I wanted this. At the end of our conversation, he said he would send it over to Janet's lawyer right away. I hung up and got back to work.

"Tamar, can you come in here please." I called her over the phone. She walked in.

"What's up?"

"I need a meeting with the HR manager and security asap. I also want to speak to marketing about whatever the fuck they think they're doing with advertisements. I need to see the accounting and financial about why were hemorrhaging money all of a sudden and lastly I need that fucking light in the hallway to be dealt with immediately, it's pissing me off."

"Okay."

"Get on that and have all of that set up and done in less than an hour."

"Alright." Tamar left out. I went to my email and read through some things from the executive staff. Then I saw an email from the investors. A few of them were pulling their money out of the company.

"Tamar!" She ran back in.

"What?"

"Get the executive board in the meeting room, right now!"

"Okay." I wrote some things down and went into the meeting room. The executive board was there.

"Toni, what is th..." I slammed my book down.

"Why the hell are half of our investors pulling their money out of the company?" Half of them looked shocked and nervous while the other half looked confused. "I have gotten several emails about conduct and fear of losing their dividends. So what's going on?" They were quiet. "Somebody better speak the fuck up or I'm going to be looking for a new executive board."
