Chapter 49

“Three months ago. Negative.” It didn’t matter. Josh was no longer listening to him.

And then it dawned on him. So what if he broke the contract? Let them sue him. You can’t get blood from a rock.Arliss had no assets…no property, hardly any belongings, a grand total of about fifty bucks in his bank account. This was all just probably bluffing anyway. If he walked out of here right now, Josh would most likely simply call the next name on the list to replace him. Arliss was sure it was a very long list.

The thought of just walking out with a big “Fuck you” or “See you in court” cheered him, caused a kind of giddy joy to course through him. Maybe he wasn’t as trapped as he thought.

Maybe he was free.

“Josh? Josh?” Arliss waited until the man stopped tapping away at his keyboard, waited until he stopped and looked at him, bored.

“Yes? I really don’t have time for this, Arliss. Go take your shower. Get yourself something to eat.”
