“Don't be ridiculous! What are you talking about?" Blair said. Wesley had nothing to do with their company. He wasn't employed there. How could he have done something like getting her boss fired? That was impossible, even for him, right?

The employees gathered around them, watching the rare moment of office drama. Since she was already fired, Rebecca didn't care what anyone thought. She started arguing with Blair.

“Oh, stop pretending you don't know! You violated company policy. I have the right to say ‘no’ to any time off. Why did he decide to fire me? Tell me!"

Rebecca had been employed there for over ten years. She had earned her position. But now, out of the blue, she was fired by Blair's husband someone who wasn't even part of the company. That was too much for her to accept.

Blair thought she needed to talk to Wesley about this. She took her phone from her purse and called him.

When his phone rang, Wesley was just pulling into the complex where her dorm was. He could guess why she was calling

“Hi, honey," he answered. Blair blushed at the way he addressed her.

“Hi yourself. I have to ask you something."

“Sure," he said.

She looked at Rebecca.

“Did you know my manager was fired?"

"Yes."

Did you do it?"

"Yeah," Wesley admitted.

Blair gasped and bowed her head. She wore the new pair of shoes Wesley had bought for her.

“Why would you do that?" she asked in a low voice.

“What did she do to you?"

“Why do you care? She giving you a hard time?" Wesley asked.

“No, just curious.”

“Well, don't be. If she has a problem with it, she can give me a call."

Blair was out of sorts over what he said. How could she possibly not wonder about this? Her boss, her...whatever he was.

"Don't do this. I don't want to be a manager. Could you give her job back?"

She thought since Wesley could get Rebecca fired, he must have a way to stop this.

“If she were a good manager, your company couldn't have fired her like that. It wasn't hard. The wrong word went in the right ear. Think about it. Anyway, it's not your fault. You don't need to feel sorry for her,"

Wesley said on the other end.
