Nicole was furious. She was reading a letter from her office that had Robert’s, her senior editor/producer/boss’ name on it. It said that she was receiving no pay of any kind while she was in the hospital.
Nicole: Come on, Daniel. We need to go to my office right now.
Daniel: Sure. What’s wrong?
Nicole: I’m going to murder my boss. You can help me hide his body.
Daniel: I’m right behind you…Wait—what???
At the office…
Jan: Rob?”
Robert:Yes, Jan?
Jan: Is there any reason you’re not taking calls?
Robert: Just very busy. Why?
Jan: Getting lots of messages and texts from Nicole. She’s super angry right now.
Before Rob could answer, Nicole burst into the room.
Nicole: WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?” She shoved the letter in his face.
Robert: You weren’t working, you didn’t get paid.
Nicole: You knew where i was and why I was there!
Robert: Aw, come on Nicole, EJ Dimera got shot in the head and was back home and to work the very next day.
Nicole: You son of a—.” Nicole went to jump at Rob. Daniel held her back.
Robert: Would you like to take it up with payroll?
Nicole: Dam right I would.
Come on then.” They go into the payroll room and turn on the lights.
SURPRISE !!!! WELCOME BACK NICOLE!” The entire office is there to welcome her.
Nicole:, obviously taken aback, started to take it all in when Rob hugged her.
Robert: Welcome back I—we—all missed you so much.
Thank you, Daniel? went Rob.
Nicole: You were in on this?” Nicole stared at Daniel.
Daniel: GUILTY!” Daniel laughed, then Nicole laughed. Nicole was approached by co-workers, and they all started talking.
Robert: This is from victor, went Daniel, handing Robert a flash drive. Robert went to a computer and opened it.
THIS WEEK IN SALEM
Rafe and Hope continue to investigate Clyde Weston while keeping Aiden in the dark. Do you think Rafe and Hope make for a better couple?
As long as it isn’t Bo, Rob thought to himself.
Roman had JJ fake arrested and offered him an undercover assignment.
What is Roman thinking? Will this get JJ killed? Will Jennifer ground him when she finds out?
Paige furthered her rage at her mother by hiring a guy to pose as a potential boyfriend, scheming Eve out of lots of money. What will page do next? Does it matter that Eve is trying to make right? Can’t you wait to find out what that girl does next!
Stefano paid Victor a visit, seeking all the information he could get about Clyde Weston. Victor caught him up to speed, warning Stefano that he was not like them. Clyde has no honor, no line he wouldn’t cross. They seem to be on the same page as far as what needs to be done.
What will their move be, and will it involve or how will affect Kate, Abigail, Chad, or Ben?
Speaking of Abigail: she’s pregnant and wondering who the father is.
“Another ‘Who’s the Father Mystery.’” Rob shook his head. “Guess Jennifer never gave Abigail the proper protection speech.”
Will is still being an ass about Paul, Ben, and now Derrik too. When will someone give Will the reality check he needs? Not soon enough, I’m afraid.
Zoe is going along with Chad’s plan to make Abigail jealous. Theresa is jealous of the nanny she’s known about for 5 minutes, and is already scheming to get rid of her.
Will Brady catch on to Theresa, or will his female blinders come back on? Hard to tell with him, hard to tell.
Justin and Adriane are sadly going forward with their divorce. If Lucas and Adriane get together and marry, wont’ that make Will and Sonny brother and (Authors Note: be nice to Will, even though he acts like a school girl) brother?
Zander is out on bail due to a fabricated alibi. What will his next move be? Serena is desperately trying to get back in Eric’s good graces. Will she succeed?
Rob finished reading and went over to Daniel who was talking to Jan. Thanks again, Daniel. Rob put out his hand. Daniel shook it.
“My pleasure,” Daniel said.
Rob wondered about Daniel, Nicole, and the Eric situation, praying that Nicole doesn’t screw it all up AGAIN.
Time to turn the hourglass.
