That’s Crazy
spoken to both Tyrone and John before we met to tell them that I was
crazy. When I presented the telephone bills to John, John told me that
I had no right to look at Jerome's phone calls. I told John I had every
right as long as the company was paying his phone bill. I was so angry
I pushed the table and yelled at Jerome. Jerome then stood in my face
with the CRAZY look and attempted to swing at me. John and Tyrone
stopped him from hitting me. I immediately run out to the car and
went to Christine’s house. It was the first incident of abuse which
would take place over the next three years.
Melissa ended up getting the raise. I felt so defeated and I was still
in shock. I did not realize at that point, but I had given my power away
to CRAZY. After that incident, Deborah figured I was the weak link
and start sucking up to Jerome and Tyrone. I would notice every
morning when I would arrive in the office, there would be little gifts
on both Tyrone and Jerome chair. Not just little gifts, but expensive
gifts, designer wallets, designer this and that. I also understood how
Jerome felt he had to control the accounting area because he needed
someone to cover for his spending.
A couple of months passed and the next thing I knew Jerome and
Deborah were two peas in a pod. I was still overseeing the money and
attempting to control the company’s expenses. Jerome and Tyrone felt
we had arrived and decided they could spend the money without my
consent. Jerome had already purchased a Mercedes under the
company, and he decided he wanted to purchase a Range Rover.
