Dragging his painfully heavy briefcase into his building, Adam knew he was meant to do something else, but what and how to get there escaped him. As he entered the elevator in the office tower that was home to KR&S, he took a good look at himself in the mirrored paneling. Just another guy in a suit putting in time in some office. Carrying around a briefcase filled with someone else’s problems.
His secretary, Felicia, motioned him to her cubicle while she was on the phone. “My psychic is telling me all about you,” she whispered as her hand covered the receiver. “She says you’re in a state of Saturn Return.”
Adam would have asked her what she meant, but Felicia was too engrossed in her conversation with her phone psychic, Tessa McCloud. Adam went to his office and let Felicia do her thing. She was a good secretary, so he overlooked the abundant amount of time she spent consulting with Tessa.
Felicia bounced into Adam’s office and flashed her engagement ring. “Tessa said Jerry would come back, and he did. If she says you’re in Saturn Return, you should listen to her.”
The great thing about Felicia’s saga with her on-again, off-again fiancé, Jerry, was that it always made Adam feel so much better about his personal life. Felicia had met Jerry, a rich young millionaire about a year earlier. But several months after their engagement, he joined a cult, whose leader told Felicia’s fiancé that he should call off the marriage and give the money he was going to spend on the wedding to the cult — which is exactly what he did. Through it all, Tessa was there for Felicia at $1.95 per minute. When Jerry finally snapped out of it and came back to Felicia, she gave all the credit to Tessa.
Now that her own problems were solved, it seemed that Felicia had asked Tessa about Adam. “I know you don’t believe in this stuff, but Tessa has you pegged. Do you really hate law that much?” she asked.
“What?”
“She says that’s the cause of your Saturn Return.”
