Beauty

I slid my First Trust little black book under the plexi glass between me and the teller. “Would you like the balances to your accounts Ms Burst? All I would need is your passwords.” I come to this bank every Friday for a balance to my one account that never has more money than I expect to be in there. I'm praying for a miracle, sometimes even a bank error at this point. My business is failing and I'm behind on so many of my bills but I haven't lost faith yet. The teller asks me these questions every week and she always says accounts and passwords, I only have one account, why does she keep asking that? Was it protocol, who knows but I know my account was -$432.16. A couple charges that I forgot about while dealing with the final details of my grandmother's funeral came through and now I'm worse than before. Angela the teller could see the despair in my face when she gave me the news. I promised her I would clean it up by Friday. The crazy thing is she asked me again but this time she had a weird look in her eye, ``Would you like the balances to your accounts Ms Burst?” Girl you know I only have one account , why do you keep asking for passwords? She slid a piece of paper to me with my account balance that she had written in the little black bank book. On the paper it said “BEAUTY and LBB”. If I were you I’d look into this.
