He swore out loud. One of the groundsmen tending the grass on the traffic circle asked him if he was okay. He nodded and smiled.
As soon as he was out of sight for the grounds workers he looked as scared as he felt. The plan had been so simple; stick around HSE until March and then he'd be able to breathe. In fact, from June to September he'd made double payments; one from his account and one from the joint account.
Thoko and he had agreed that two payments of $9,999 would be paid out to The Corporation from their account. She'd been faithful to regularly put through the payment since June. A simple plan.
Ronald walked into the parking garage and headed for his car. His plan had been to surprise Thoko with an early Christmas present: no debt due to The Corporation. Then Precious had shown up.
Ronald got to his car and gave it a cursory glance. It was a new model German-made luxury sedan that he was still making payments on. He sighed. He'd hate to give it back.
