Life Moves On
When Tramp has had assured her, she wasstrong and would move past the violence done to her, it was more acase of wanting to believe than actually doing so.He’d been provenright though, and she did have more to do to recover.Bindi wasgrateful to Tramp and the others in the office then.She loved Tyneand Moe because they had gathered and trained that team, so theywere the best.They had even trained her so she could work here andbe good enough to join them.
Her only issue was what to do aboutDuroc.He was too controlling and terribly jealous to the point shecouldn’t deal with it.The other males here were all alpha, butnone of the others that were mated were as bad as he was.Durocwasn’t even her mate yet, but he drove her crazy.Yet?What was shetalking about?Right now, it wasn’t even in the realm ofpossibilities.
“Good morning, Rita.”Bindigreeted.
“Morning, Bindi.You’re alittle early.Grant should be in soon though.”
“Have you made any friendswith the newbies yet?”
“No, we’re just at theacquaintance level.How about you?”Rita asked.
“I hardly see them though Idid try with Tammy and Mollie.They both said maybe after theyadjust to the new job.”
“You could help them findtheir way around.How are you and Grant getting along?”
“We’ve become friends.”Bindi admitted.
“Aren’t they bothsingle?”
“They are.Do you thinkthey feel threatened by me?”
“That would be my guess.Grant and Duroc are hot, and you already know them both.”Ritaexplained.
“I guess I just don’tunderstand most people.”
“My secret is I don’teither.Don’t tell anyone.”
“That’s true of me too.Maybe I get along with guys better anyway.”Bindiwondered.
“There are women lesscompetitive than those two.The only friends they try to make aremales.I think they made a deal.Mollie wants Grant and Tammy wantsDuroc.Mollie didn’t seem to be so bad until she and Tammy startedtalking.Tyne had a serious need for people, and he may have hiredone that was less than desirable.”
“She does a good jobdoesn’t she.Expecting everyone to have a good personality might betoo much.”
“I’m not sure what kind ofjob she does.Their team is on the low end as far as getting jobsdone and I know it’s not Duroc.But you might be right about thepersonality, but a few personality issues compared to the problemsshe has are miles apart.”Rita observed.
“It’s sad that it will addproblems for you.You just had running things dropped on you.Nowyou have a problem employee and that no one wants.What do you planto do?”
“Take it a day at a timeand hope it resolves itself.”
“I wish you luck.”Bindioffered.
“Yeah, I’m afraid we’llneed all the luck we get.Things rarely work out that easily.Herecome the other guys.”
The bell tinkled as Grant came in withMollie following close behind him.Next came Duroc with Tammy athis heels.Some of the mated guys were here now.They weren’t verysocial, There were less employees than before working out of theoffice because several now worked out of their homes.
Even those did come in on a weeklybasis, but at varied times and days.Bindi didn’t know much aboutthem except what they looked like.She’d heard it took time for anew team to build ties.Hopefully, that would start soon since theyneeded to be able to count on each other.
Those racists weren’t as active, butthey still acted up from time to time.Their office had lost someof the most experienced and strongest members.Bindi had a stun gunand she felt safe enough.This one could take out several wolves ata time.That stun gun would give her the time to getaway.
“Now that the usual grouphas checked nin, I’ll send you the lists so you can get to work.”Rita observed.
She printed them off and handed themout.Rita put four jobs on each list, but most of the time onlythree were done.They would get better, it helped that they had alarge crew now.Keeping up with the list was manageable.Eventhough the demand for their services hadn’t slowed.Bindi and Grantwalked to their truck and loaded up.Duroc sent them a cold lookthat couldn’t be missed.
“What’s up with him?”Grantasked.
