" Before the supervisor could protest she cut the line.That made Cynthia feel much better. And now that she was in a good mood, she was ready to go ho...me. As she was donning her scarf, the intercom rang again.Cynthia strolled back to her desk and gently pressed the button this time. "Yes Madeline I realize it's seven. You can go home now."The secretary's response was not at all expected, "Ms. Reed there's someone here to see you."Before the manager could inform her secretary she had no.

(He was kind of messy). Everybody. ." Gary's afraid of losing her too, I think. And he needs to figure out, like, what to do about it. I think they should get married."I practically spit out the sip of beer I was taking. I had to take a moment to cough into my napkin before I could respond."Married? Gary?" He should marry Kate, too.
