Chapter 5 Mistress
The Stafford family was rich.
But did I have to ask Lamar for the money
I thought about it, then stood up and said to the expert, Thanks
a lot. I’ll get the surgery sorted out as soon as I can.
I left the room and pulled out my phone, seeing all the missed
calls from Lamar.
After a quick moment of indecision, I called him back.
He picked up right away.
Alexandra, where are you now
Lamar sounded furious.
Out. What’s up I said, not really caring.
I don’t care what your problem is with Mattie. Get over here and
say you’re sorry!
No.
With that, I hung up.

But Lamar wasn’t giving up. He called again.
Alexandra, I’m serious. Apologize to Mattie, and let’s forget
about it.
I thought for a second, then blurted out, Want an apology Fine,
give me 80,000 dollars.
) I figured if Lamar were right in front of me, he’d be grittin and
felt wretc and felt wretc his teeth.
You hurt Mattie, and now you want 80,000 dollars You’ve got
some serious nerve!
I wasn’t in the mood to argue with Lamar anymore.
It was two in the morning.
I was dozing off in the staff dormitory when my phone vibrated
and woke me up.
I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the screen. It was a call from
Lamar.
I declined the call, but he called right back.
Alexandra, what are you playing at You’re not even coming
home he yelled from the other end.

To make sure he could hear my hoarse voice loud and clear, I
deliberately slowed down my speech. Mr. Stafford, is there
something you need
There was a brief pause from his end before he said, I think we
need a serious talk.
I replied coldly, There’s nothing to talk about. Lamar, if you like
her, just go for it.
Alexandra! he snapped, clearly angry. If there’s something you
want, tell me. I’ll get something even better than that necklace
for you.
Thanks, but don’t bother. Stay and keep her company at the
hospital. I don’t need anything.
With that, I turned off my phone.
The next morning, I went to the Finance Department to talk to
the director about getting an advance of 16,000 dollars on my
salary.
I didn’t need to go through Terrell for the signatures and stamps. I just needed the signature of the deputy director in charge.
But as I was writing the application with my medical certificate
in hand, Terrell’s call came in.
Chapter 5 Matress
Alexandra, regarding the advance payment, the maximum we
can offer you is 13,000 dollars. But what are you planning to do
with this money
