“No, that’s all behind me. What’s happening in their life now has nothing to do with me.” “I’ve already said it enough, moving forward please try your best to leave me out of any drama!” Capri was quiet over her employees, they always had some tea to spill. Whether it was about her past or the customers. She’s quite honestly had enough. As if the day wasn’t hectic enough, Capris workload was doubled when Nabb decided to transfer an assistant from a different business unit. This is against the policy at K. All transfers had to go through interviews with the manager and Market manager to ensure they’re a right fit for the business unit and the team they would be interested to join. “What a hypocrite? If anyone else did that, they’d be threatened wish a written documentation for policy violation. My manger’s could have really used some slack as they are swamped with tasks and it being snowbird season.”In a workplace everyone should be held to the same standard in each department, bu

On the other side of things, Capri had a bit of a distraction. Her ex-mother in-law was fired from her job as a clergy assistant for fucking a client in her bosses office. Dexter was a good gossip he knew everything and anything. He was like the damn cops. Honestly, better than the cops, they should just employ him. He was also no other than Roxy’s best friend aka Taurus sister. They weren’t too close these days apparently because he talked nothing but trash about her. Apparently, he got the tea straight out the kettle.‘“Girlllllllllllll, did you read the paper miss ma’am was caught red handed by the janitor fucking a client!” Laments DexterCapri stares at him in confusion…..She said “what are you reporting now? No scratch that, who are you reporting now?”Dexter****“ none other than your mother in law Bitch, she was popping that dusty P**** on a longgg c*** last night at her job. The janitor apparently only snitched after she turned him down to slob on his banana….. he went and t

Capri could not immediately commit to her assignment verbally. In the upcoming days, she wrote down names and circumstances that created trauma and fear from her past. The biggest challenge would be talking to her mom. Growing up she was never present for her daughters. A man seemed to always be more important than her kids. Capri would leave school after her practices to go home and cook. In the mornings she would also get her sisters ready for their day including on the weekends. The random times her mother would do anything with them, involved being in sketch places and she would be drinking beer and smoking cigarettes. Most often than not she wouldn’t even make sure they were fed. The courage to have the conversation……“I haven’t been around lately due to my increase anxiety, I finally decided to see a therapist in regard to my mental state. There are some things from the past that I feel would be important to discuss and get off my chest in order to move forward in a healthy

“Lately I have been depressed. I feel like I have no purpose and quiet lost. When the people around me say things that hurt my feelings, I’m not quiet sure how to handle it and it stays on my mind for a long time.”Capri would often question herself, wondering what was so wrong with her. All she wanted was for her family and friends to love her.“Do you ever tell them that their words are hurtful?” Asked her therapist.“I tend to just let them talk, they won’t acknowledge that they’re saying anything that affects me because they think as long as they’re speaking facts, I shouldn’t be bothered.” Capri responded with her head down.“Are these facts based on personal conversations you’ve had with them?” asked the therapist.“Yes! Mostly from a place of vulnerability when I can’t control my emotions. I’d call my older sister and before I know it I’m crying and tellingher about my ailments.”“I see and how does that make you feel that she brings up such conversations?!“I feel like I can’t

Capri always felt that taking to a therapist meant she was crazy. “These things are meant for the rich people!” Capri muttered to herself as she brushed her teeth. However, she could not help the overwhelming feeling that she had to vent. Quiet honestly she could not continue to walk around with such burdens from the past and present on her heart. “ let’s just look at the options that they have, looking won’t actually hurt. It’s a step in the right direction, maybe.”It took Capri quiet sometime to admit she needed the help and finally opened her laptop. She was amazed at all the options. What was even surprising, she didn’t actually have to go in an office, lay on a couch and be hypnotized. At least in her head that’s what she envisioned going to a therapist would be. “Wait a minute, pills! Who the hell said I needed drugs?! I just want to talk to someone who is not biased and will help me deal with my emotions and why I react the way I do in situations.”“This is a bad idea I do

Capris phone went off for about an hour straight. She didn’t answer and decided not to respond to any messages. She did however listen to the voice messages and read the texts after a while. “You selfish b****, you can’t even answer the phone now!” Chika yelled in the blocked voice message tab.“How can you just tell your sister you’re not talking to her!” Voicemail from grandmother****“Who on this earth says they’re choosing happiness and peace, and all of a sudden decides that their sister is affecting that?!” Text message from ChikaCapri decided it would be best to not respond after all to any of people who though she was being selfish. She never focused on herself and was always giving and overextending. She was an enabler for poor behavior and gave into people who were self entitled for what she could do for them. Most of the people around her never noticed her sadness. they would just assume she was ok. She never complained; she literally just didn’t know how to say no. ****
