Been another week of mundane soul-sucking life and while some writers have responded to ,my requests to write follow ups, there have some who have redefined the sound of silence - oh well, life marches on.
The Payback Preview 2
In fact, through chatting with Cindy's colleagues and Ricky's
investigation, he had pretty much nailed down when and where Cindy had
first met Jackson. The summer training camp a year and seven months
back that Cindy had signed on for. It wasn't a school sponsored event
but had been recommended by the teachers association that Cindy
belonged to. Jackson had been the life coach hired by the event
organisers. The irony that Jackson wrought such a huge change in the
lives of his wife and himself was not lost on Steve.
While they went through the preliminaries of introduction and
handshaking, Steve watched Jackson's expression and was sure he noted
a certain glimmer of smug satisfaction in the man's eyes. Was Steve
paranoid? Maybe. Was he tense? Definitely. Not because his motlrtal
enemy was in front of him but rather because he was about to bring a
crucial element into the game. Cindy had been behind him chatting with
the other executives' wives when he gently turned her around and
introduced her to a new service provider who was to run their
corporate training camp this year.
Steve could barely prevent an evil smile as Cindy recognised her
former adulterous lover. Her eyes widened in shock and she turned pale
as Jackson gripped her limp outstretched hand in greeting. Noting that
Jackson had held onto his wife's hand for longer than was appropriate,
Steve cleared his throat and Cindy unfroze, snatching her hand back as
if Jackson had burning coals in his hand.
