A Bitter Herb (A Novelette) Part IV

Every year Lee had given Jay, and one of his other workers, John, and their wives a vacation, paid in full, hotel, food and even transportation. And it always astounded him that he could afford to do it, but it didn't' phase, or amaze Jay and John's family, they acted as if it was overdue. They belittled, yet accepted Lee's heartfelt gifts with unimportance. Matter of fact, after such a weekend, one could hardly tell it had been given at all. And both having access to the supplies Lee had in his garage, for his six apartment buildings, very little got fixed, but those supplies dwindled faster than John could make up the receipts. John had indirectly admitted the thievery, and Lee had told him, he had always known, expected it, but it was getting to the point? too expensive. Thus John left the company, and when he wished to be rehired, it was on different terms, and the rehiring never took place; for Lee surely an escape from the devil's helper.
