Chapter Fourteen

“This is Cliffside, the event planning business where my friend Jade works,” Pamela told Kendra as they parked outside of the event center. “A friend of mine from high school, Sharon Simmons, owns it, along with the restaurant, Cliffside. Her partner, Chelsea, also owns the B&B we looked at online this morning.”

“That was so beautiful, I’d love to see it in person,” Kendra said, looking around as she got out of the car.

“I’m sure that can be arranged. Chelsea is great, you’ll love her. But first, I need to speak with Jade about her manuscript.”

“If it’s as good as you said, then she won’t be working here for long,” Kendra said, following Pamela into the building.

“It’s good, believe me. You can read it for yourself, if you like. I’m sure Jade won’t mind.”

“Jade won’t mind what?” Jade asked, coming around the side of the building, her arms filled with potted mums.

“Hey, good morning. I hope you don’t mind that we’re dropping in,” Pamela asked, coming to take some of the flowers from her. “This is Kendra Knowles, my assistant. Kendra, this is Jade Kingsley.”

“Pleasure,” Kendra said, smiling.

“Hi, welcome to Starsdale, Kendra. Come on inside, you can tell me what I won’t mind doing,” Jade said with a smile, leading them into Cliffside.

“I told Kendra that I didn’t think you would mind her reading your book. Which is wonderful, by the way.” Pamela placed the plants on the table.

“You really liked it?” Jade asked, surprised.

“Yes, of course. Surely you know how good it is, everyone keeps raving about it.” Pamela laughed at the look on Jade’s face.

“Yes, well, it’s still kind of hard to believe. I know I liked it, so did my friends. But you are in the business. Your opinion means a lot.”

“For what it’s worth, I think you have a bestseller on your hands,” Pamela assured her. “So get used to hearing how good it is. Man, I can just see Laurence Kingsley’s face when he reads it, he’ll flip.”

“That’s kind of what I’m afraid of,” Jade told them, arranging the potted plants as centerpieces on the tables. “He’ll probably try to shut it down.”

“Probably, but we won’t let him. I’d like your permission to shop it around. I won’t mention Kingsley’s name, until we get them hooked.”

“Sure, whatever you think is best. Should we have a contract?” Jade stopped, eyeing one arrangement critically.

“That’s not necessary. I’ll just make a few friendly calls, then you can get a lawyer to jump in, after you choose who you’ll let publish it.”

“Do you really think I’ll have a choice?” Jade looked up, surprised.

“Definitely. It’s a really, really good book, Jade.”

“Then I’d rather you represent me, can’t you do that? You said I needed an agent, I choose you. If we need a lawyer later, we’ll get one. I know nothing about negotiating contracts, or making deals, but you do.”

“Yes, I do,” Pamela said slowly. “But I’m getting out of the business, Jade.”

“No, you’re just relocating,” Jade said with a smile.
