Fucking for revenge
With Sandy’s blessing, Corey kept taunting Dave. For everyone to hear, Corey kept speaking out. “You’re not man enough for her. She’s looking elsewhere and there’s nothing you can do about it.” At one point, Corey answered his cell. It was Sandy. In front of Dave, he made a date with her for Thursday dinner. He turned to Dave and laughed, then walked away.
All week, there was silence in the office. Most understood what was happening. The power trip of the boss was happening again. He did this number on Paul 2 years ago, and it was happening again. There was little they could do, but everybody quietly supported Dave. And were glad it wasn’t them. Everybody had families to feed and jobs were still tight.
Meanwhile, Sandy and Corey were talking on the phone every night after the kids went to bed. The comments were getting racier and racier. Cory knew how to take advantage, and he did. He was a master at manipulating people to get ahead. It was more the conquest than the keeping. His own wife was a conquest with a bit of an inheritance. He felt that she was only a stupid piece of arm candy that only cared about shopping. He prided himself on making and bringing home the money. Now, getting what ever pussy he wanted. By the time they were married, there was no spark with his wife. And now, his additional 70 lbs. would have put off some people, but it was his attitude of life that made him a pariah to most. It was always about him, and he was ruthless. He listened to the conservative talking heads and actually believed that he stood on his own two feet. Everybody else was expendable. If they were stupid enough to treat others with respect instead of getting ahead, that was their stupid decision.
