Wait…last weekend
she wasn’t in Atlantic City. She told me she would be at their Hamptons house.
Her mother was visiting or something.

It was definitely

Maybe she was
originally going to go to the Hamptons and then took a detour. God knows she
takes the private jet wherever she wants. TOUGH LIFE SHE LEADS.

Rendered you
speechless, I see. Is the thought of my naked ass too much for you? It
certainly wasn’t too much for you when you had me bent over in the copy room
yesterday.

Subject:
RE: Leaving early today

Not speechless.
Merely temporarily detained.
Your husband was just in my
office, wanting to go over his presentation notes for that conference he’s
attending this weekend.

coming over?

RE: Leaving early today

You know who WAS in
Atlantic City last weekend?
Mammon.
I was just looking
at my calendar to see where he’d been going off to the past two weeks, and
that’s where I have him staying last Saturday and Sunday.
The
Borgata in Atlantic City.

RE: Leaving early today

That’s where I saw
Vikki.
The Borgata.
Which is
interesting, because I just checked the boss’ calendar, and he wasn’t in
Atlantic City last weekend.
He was in San Diego, meeting with investors.

RE: Leaving early today

So he DOES let her
go places alone. Or maybe they went to San Diego together and then made a pit
stop in Atlantic City on the way back?

RE: Leaving early today

No. You think? I
mean, they’re friends outside of work. Well, Mammon and Kaiser are. Vikki just
does whatever Kaiser does.
Or tells her to do.

I saw Vikki and
Mammon having dinner at Le Bombardier last Wednesday.
Sans
Kaiser.
Didn’t think anything of it at the time, but…

RE: Leaving early today

That can’t be right.
Last Wednesday evening Mammon was at a wine tasting. I remember because he was
waiting to hear back about the Vermont deal and he told me where he was going
to be in case I needed to get a hold of him.

Marie, where was
Kaiser last Wednesday?

Kaiser was out of

Subject:
RE: Leaving early today

So Kaiser was out of town. Mammon lied about where
he was. And Vikki was having dinner at a fancy French restaurant with the guy
who lied about where he was while her husband was out of town.

MAMMON AND VIKKI ARE
SO DOING IT.

Oooh, look who else
is leaving early! Perhaps a little Mammon sandwich on a Kaiser roll is in
order? Vikki’s already got hands-on
experience,
she
can show her husband how to tickle the Mammon pickle.
