Jake Carter Palm Springs March 16, 2002 (The next day) "Thank you very much, Mr. Lawrence" I smiled into the phone. "You are very welcome. I just hope to see you Monday instead of... umm... Ms. Carter, " he spoke. "No problem. Until then." I hung up the phone and returned back to my emails. A loud knock came from the door. I didn't feel like answering so I ignored it. "I know you are in there!" Jason bellowed. I laughed to myself as I recalled last night at dinner. The whole night I bashed him, making him look incompetent and foolish in front of Sara. I wouldn't have done it if he hadn't brought up Laura and our unattached relationship. Knowing how jealous Elizabeth gets, I try to avoid any situation that would provoke her. Then that bastard got wasted and couldn't keep his mouth
