room, looking smug. I was hoping she was coming in for coffee or something but I had a feeling I wasn’t going to get that lucky. Instead, she came right up to me.
“I saw what happened in the hall,” she said.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, attempting to get myself out of the situation without it turning into a big confrontation.
“Don’t give me that. I saw that man grab a handful of your ass in the hallway when he walked in. Are you going to stand there and tell me that didn’t happen? I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Candace, I don’t know what you think you saw but I can assure you that he didn’t touch my ass in any way.”
This is bad. This is very, very bad.
“No? Then why did you take him into Casey Stark’s room and close the door? It sure looked like you two were having a pretty intense conversation.”
“Well, if you knew our residents a little bit better, you would know that he was Casey Stark’s brother. I was going over how his brother was doing and how he had been reacting to his treatments with the doctor.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Maggie was seated at a table in the corner of the room. I had no idea how long she had been there but I had a feeling she had heard everything we’d been saying. She stood up and took her wrappers to the trash can before coming over to us.
“I’m sorry to interrupt the two of you but Candace, may I have a word with you please?”
“Yeah, sure.”
Maggie pulled her over to the side but spoke loud enough that I could clearly hear what she was saying.
“Candace, I’ve been going over your charts for the past several weeks and I’m seeing a lot of mistakes being made over and over again.”
“Mistakes? What do you mean?”
“I’ve sent you an email with everything that I’ve found. As of now, I haven’t copied Angie on any of the messages but you had better start paying more attention if you don’t want everything officially documented and reported. I’m pretty sure there are enough mistakes there to put you out of a job.”
Flustered, Candace stormed out of the room like a child throwing a temper tantrum. I breathed a sigh of relief knowing that, at least for the time being, I didn’t have to deal with her incessant questioning.
“I didn’t see what led up to that but it sounds like you need to be a little more careful as well,” Maggie said to me.
“You’re not kidding. It was a one-time mistake that will never happen again. I promise you that.”
“That’s what I was hoping to hear. By the way, did you see how big her eyes got when I mentioned reporting her mistakes?”
“I did. What was that all about anyway?”
“I wish I could tell you the specifics but I can’t. All I can suggest is that you keep a close eye on her whenever she’s working. Something is going on with that girl. I’m not quite sure what it is yet but I’m going to find out.”
CHAPTER EIGHT
Jason
It had been three weeks since my last fight. My promoter had been trying to get another fight for me but nobody wanted to step up and take it, especially on such short notice. There was a lot of talk going on around the MMA community. Everybody knew that I’m tight with Damon and they’ve all been saying that’s why I was getting the fight with Dodson. I knew it was bullshit and I suspected all of them knew it was bullshit too.
I’ve always busted my ass inside the cage to put on a good show for the fans and to try and get noticed. Since there was quite a bit of jealousy going around, nobody wanted to step into the cage with me. I’d heard that most of the fighters in the locker room wanted me to fail. They knew I didn’t have a camp to train with so they didn’t want to get into the cage with me so I could stay sharp. They were hoping that by me not fighting, I’d go into the fight out
