He viewed her exit with intense concentration. She
was apparently loyal to her husband. Beautiful black woman married white man more often
now that it was accepted. After the year 2000 society appeared more heterogeneous
concerning relationships. He had some extramarital affairs with other women in the
organization. Some were company women who wanted to climb the organizational
structure; other's were attracted to his power. They all were satisfied he thought,
especially the new department manager of Control. Willard's boss --ha ha that got
him he thought

"We have their designs for the last five years," thought Conrad Zenon.
"They would be cashing checks over 5 million dollars. Instead my company cashed
the five million."
Dave is our savior, " he a preachers son thought. "I make more money than Jimmy
Baker. Just think of this money as my church collection for this year. "
Dave saw Conrad reveling in his secular high. "I'm embarrassed to think of how his
father preached about that Jesus believed in not being greedy, and love thy neighbor,
" he said to Addie as they sat at his desk.
"I double-crossed my boyfriend for that bastard, " she growled like a trapped
