Broken

Etymology: Middle English breken, from Old English brecan; akin to Old High German brehhan, meaning, to break

Over the week, Adrienne finalized the contract with ABW.  True to his word, Jin sent the signed contract to her within one hour of her sending it to him.

Jada was pleased.  She was even surprised that Adrienne managed to get the contract without a discount.

“I just offered a page feature, that’s all.” She said.

“Wow!  You must be charming!”  Jada said, and Adrienne didn’t know whether she meant it or she was just being sarcastic.

She told the news to Jill as well.

Adrienne raised a brow.  “You mean with huge bank accounts and unlimited credit card limits?”

Jill giggled.  “It isn’t bad to dream about one of those kinds once in a while, you know.”

She raised a brow at Jill.  “Is Justin Adams on that list?”

Jill grinned.  “Topnotcher!”  She said, going over to her desk and typing something on her keyboard.  Then she gasped.  After a while, a naughty grin spread across her face.  “Well, hello, competition!”
