Chapter Six

Alone in her office, Lily pulled her laptop of out of her bag and plugged it in. She could have checked her mail from her phone and called Enid downstairs, but she hoped to get some information from her about vice president douchenozzle and his scary sidekicks.

“Terrence Walcott’s Office. Enid Mercier.”

“Hi, Enid. It’s Lily Barrett.”

“Ms. Barrett. How can I help you?”

“I checked my notes after I got back to the office and I didn’t see any timeline for the products. Do you have a schedule you can send me?”

“I thought we discussed…” Her voice trailed off, and Lily heard the clicking of computer keys. “That’s right, Mr. Chandler interrupted the meeting, didn’t he? Yes, there is a schedule. I’ll send you an email shortly.”

“Great, I appreciate it. I know Mr. Walcott is in a hurry to get this started.”

“Yes, he is, and he was very impressed with your presentation. This is kind of a pet project for him.” It was the opening Lily had been hoping for.

“I was wondering if he was always so hands on? Especially with such a large project team in place.” No answer at first, had her wondering if she’d overstepped some invisible line.

“Very observant of you, Ms. Barrett. He is involved in every aspect of his business, but as I said this is very important to him.”

“I see. I didn’t mean to sound like I was criticizing him. It’s just Mr. Chandler was so adamant about his selection.”

“Mr. Chandler is usually very professional. I was quite surprised to see him react that way. But Mr. Walcott is planning on going ahead with your plans, so you don’t have to worry. I’ll forward any information on work already completed.”

“Thank you, again. If Mr. Walcott has any questions, just give me a call.”

“We will. Goodbye, Ms. Barrett.”

“Good bye.”

Enid Mercier would be a tough nut to crack that’s for sure. She’d hoped to get a bit more information out of her. But at least she didn’t have to worry about the douche. It looked like he’d dug his own grave. The dull ache in her shoulders eased as she leaned back in her chair. She’d be fooling herself if she didn’t admit that he’d scared the crap out of her, and she still didn’t know how she held it together and got the hell out of there.

There wasn’t much in the way of notes from the presentation. The weirdness of the meeting had been a distraction, from her usual frantic note-taking. Opening a new file, her fingers flew over the keys as she tapped out what she remembered and some new ideas she’d come up with.

The ringing of her cell phone broke her concentration a short while later. Checking the screen, she saw it was Chloe.

“Hey, brat. How the hell are you?”

“I’m good. Beat but good. You’d think I’d be used to having three kids by now.”

“Yeah, except you have four, don’t you?”

“Four? Oh shit, yeah Logan qualifies.” They’d hardly seen each other since Alex was wounded.
