For a friend... * CJ had known all along she was getting herself into trouble. Well, not 'known' exactly. It was more instinct or gut feeling. She and Sarah had been working together for six months. Occasionally they socialised after work, a drink in a local bar. CJ was single so she appreciated the diversion. Sarah had a boyfriend she talked about consta...
I "Clarence has asked me to lead the group's delegation to the expo in Dubai next week," Shahnawaz advised Payal as soon as he returned home from the office. "For how long will you be gone?" Payal was surprised since no mention of a trip had been made before. "It is a two-week event but I'll make a stop in Pakistan also." "You do know Clarence is gettin...
Payal ki Jhankar, Chapter 7 I "I'd imagine Jessica would be really upset if she saw us like this," Payal just had the oddest urge to express whatever was running through her mind.

Cynthia and I had been married for 22 years, we had two teenaged boys, and we both worked in the same large manufacturing company. She was 44 years old and was a supervisor in the Accounting...
Chapter 11: Bad Company Theresa Liggett had a window seat in the second passenger car. The seat was un-cushioned with an almost straight back; it was almost as uncomfortable as all the attention she was receiving. Passengers bounced in unison every second or so as the old train rolled over welded joints and swayed to the curvature of the tracks. Tee had ne...
