Businesswoman Chapter 180

Completed

By Skyler SaundersPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

The gym space rivaled those of public ones. Loreen had machines and workout stations and a sauna. She stretched. On arms and back day, she committed to the cause of ensuring that she maximized her exercise routines. Then her phone vibrated.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Hi, Mrs. Breen. I’m Fred Barrymore with Carter Welding and Boiler Repair,” he announced. Loreen continued on the conversation in her ear power buds. She also kept stretching.

“Yes,” she replied.

“We just took a hit online. We had ten one star reviews. One even said if they could do zero stars, that would be more honest. I’m calling you because you know how to save businesses.”

“Okay. What can we agree upon for my services?” She asked, performing squats.

“We have a half of a million for you.”

She wasn’t shook or taken aback. To right this wrong, Loreen agreed in her soul to take another pay cut.

“Okay. I’ll be over there this afternoon around three.”

“Thank you so much Businesswoman.”

“We’ll make everything better for the next experience and get those stars up to five level status,” she assured.

“Thanks,” Barrymore responded with a bit of relief residing in his voice. Loreen hung up and looked at her gym space. She started with the lat bar and thought about how a business could be so maligned. Bicep and tricep curls added to her agenda but she couldn’t figure out why Barrymore’s business tanked these past few months. She shook her head and headed to the sauna. With the toxins oozing from her petite frame, she contemplated with one fist under her palm. In moments, she found herself showering and dressing. She had a breakfast of scrambled eggs and a half a grapefruit. When she had completed eating, Raphael drove her to see Barrymore.
