Businesswoman Chapter 75

In her house, Loreen had her own gym and trainer as well. Lisa visited her neighborhood exercise club. The sound of an alarm drew Lisa’s attention. Usually, this meant that a person coming into the establishment carried a huge jug of some liquid, grunted while they worked out, or wore revealing clothing to show off their pecs.

This hit differently. The reason the alarm sounded was because the person was white.

“I don’t believe this! Every other person in here is black or Hispanic, brown or red or yellow. I know my rights. I’m calling my lawyer,” Todd Javin announced.

“Hey, Businessgirl!” yelled gym owner Cristin Beckler. “Could you settle this matter rationally?”

“I know I can. Alright, so you sir, are welcome at any establishment regardless of your race or color. You have the opportunity to utilize these machines and facilities as you see fit. Under current law, no entity may turn you away. Cristin, I’m sorry but ‘them's the rules.’”

Cristin looked mildly agitated. She lifted her hands and returned to the employee section.

“Hey, thanks, Businessgirl. I’m Todd.”

“Hi, Todd. You better be glad the government still upholds such vicious laws. One day, there may be justice where you can discriminate against people because of whatever. I personally do not like this law, but I’m willing to recognize it.”

“Alright,” Todd mentioned and walked to the locker room.

Businessgirl returned to the lifting station. As she resumed her exercise program, she had the idea to call Loreen.

“Hey!” Loreen said still at home.

“I just had to bring under control a situation regarding race. I know it’s sticky but I wanted to know if you would come down to my gym to talk to Cristin. It would mean a lot.”

“Sure thing. I’ll be there in time.”
