My Boss is my ex-husband

Part 8

"Wait for what?" I asked again for the millionth time, not sure if I still heard her correctly.

"I don't know!" Gabrielle cried out again. "I think it because I haven't fully owned the house or something, but still!"

"Well, you still get to stay here for one more night, don't you?" I said weakly, trying to make something good out of this bad situation.

"Well, yeah, but I'm more concerned about you. I'm going to be fine since I'm just going to live in my old house. But you have nowhere to stay!" she replied angrily.

"I'll see if I can just live at a hotel or something for now. Then I can get my own place," I said.

"Fine, I guess we both should start packing," she sighed. 

The next day, I had all my stuff packed in my car again, and after a goodbye to Gabby, drove off to work.

When I arrived in the same room I had my interview, Jacob was in the back arguing with the same girl from yesterday, the girl that he had warned me about. Jacob noticed me and shushed the girl loudly.

"Good morning Alice, I see you're all ready?" Jacob greeted me. "I have a list of tasks I need you to assist with me, I'll walk through them with you since it's your first day."

The girl eyed me warily.

"now, I just have to get some files from the storage room right down the hall. I'll be back soon. And Sandy, behave."

I felt started at the name, or more like nickname.

"Sandy?" I asked.

"Yes, yes. And you're Alice," she said my name with such disdain that it reminded me of something.

"Does that stand for something? Because I feel like I know you..." I replied.

Sandy snorted and grabbed her hair tie, tying up her hair in a tight ponytail, the way one of my former best friends used to do.

I gasped.

"Sandra? How are you here?" 

"Nothing that's your business. Now, I'm just saying, but you better stay away from Jacob or else. He's most definitely mine." Sandra sneered.

"Excuse me? I thought that you broke up with him or something. Plus, I know what you did about Daniel and me. Why in the world would you do that???" I retorted. "Also, you don't speak for Jacob when you said that he's yours."

"Who doesn't speak for me?" Jacob asked as he entered the room, arms full of paper.

"Apparently, Sandra thinks that you're still his even though you guys broke up," I said quickly.

Sandra snarled.

"How would you even know that? It's not any of your business."She glared at me.

"Wait. Hold on. Sandy, I did tell her about you breaking up with me for some other guy," he rolled his eyes. "Also, how do you guys know each other?"

I beat Sandra.

"Well, from what I know, it appears that Sandra broke up with you because she wanted Daniel, and got Daniel to get a divorce with me," I glared at Sandra back.

"Wait, who's Daniel?" Jacob wondered.

"Daniel is the guy who got me pregnant and divorced with me because of Sandra. I'm assuming he's also the reason that Sandra broke up with you," I said loudly.

Jacob sighed.

"Sandra, we've been over this before. Please don't manipulate people just to get what you want. Also, why were you with me if you liked this other guy?"

"Jakey, please-" Sandra tried.

Jacob glared at her.

"Do not call me Jakey. You know what, I'm not gonna even trust whatever you're about to say. Just get out of my office. I know you only ever wanted me for money," Jacob continued on.

"But-"

"No. Go chase some other rich dude. Just GET OUT!"Jacob yelled.

Sandra's eyes hardened.

"Fine then. Daniel's much better than you are. You're going to regret this, both of you."
