Page 19 of The Revenge Agenda

I think you’d be a good boss even though I have absolutely no basis for that hunch.

We can team up and get revenge on Ian.

Let me know if you are amenable to any of the above.

Your (unknowing) partner in crime,

Rush

I’ve barely put my phone down after hitting Send when an email comes right back to me.

Rush,

How the hell are any of those things points to make me STAY? If anything, it’s like you’re trying to shove me out the door. And don’t email me outside of work hours.

Hunter Barrett

Okay, so apparently, none of my suggestions appealed to him.

Hunter Barrett,

Just to check: that’s a no to the coat?

Rush

Rush,

Of course I want my coat back, but not after hearing what’s happened to it. Cum, Rush? Really?

Hunter Barrett

Hunter Barrett,

Okay, now I’m confused. I’ve sat here for the last hour torn between respecting your boundaries to not email you before nine and answering your question. Which would you prefer I do?

Rush

P.S. The cum is unconfirmed, and you don’t need to worry: it’s not mine.

Rush,

How is it possible that every time you attempt to make something clearer, you make it a thousand times more confusing?

HB

HB,

I’m still not sure whether I’m supposed to reply.

Rush

Rush,

Please tell me you didn’t sit there for another hour wondering? It’s past midnight!

H

P.S. YES you can reply
