Chapter 16

Erica

By Friday, the heat had only died down a small amount. It was as if the world had nothing else to do with their time than stick its nose in our business. What had happened to all the other celebrity scandals the media usually covered? I bet they were having a great break with Brett and me taking center stage for so long.

Brett and I had been keeping our contact to the bare minimum. We had kept our communications strictly to work and nothing else. Even in the office, rumors were making the rounds, and more than half of the employees made me feel uncomfortable just being around. There wasn’t much I could do about it. Brett had managed to appease the investors, and right now it was just a waiting game.

It was a pity Brett and I couldn’t spend time together to talk about what was happening. With the media pressure on us, I would have liked to have talked to someone who was going through the same thing, but that would only have made everything worse. It was better we stayed away from each other.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt sick. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but something was off. I got out of bed and took a shower, hoping it would make me feel better. When that didn’t, I ate breakfast, but that only made me nauseated. By the time I had to leave for work, I didn’t feel up to it at all. So instead, I called Brett.

“I’m going to take a day off,” I said to Brett. “I feel terrible.”

“Is everything all right?” he asked. I could hear the concern in his voice.

“I don’t know, maybe I just need a time-out. The last week has been very difficult. I’m so sorry.”

“Don’t be. I understand. I wish I could crawl back into bed myself. Feel better, I’ll check in with you later today. Pop me a text or something, but let’s not talk too long.”

When we ended the call, I changed back into my pajamas and climbed into bed. I didn’t know what was up, but I had a feeling my body wasn’t holding out under the stress. I had been through a lot in my career as an executive assistant, but the kind of pressure Brett and I had faced the past week had been something else entirely.

I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I usually performed well under pressure, but again, this was something else. I knew it would look bad. I knew the media would paint me like I was hiding out because there was truth in the rumors that were being spread. But I couldn’t help it. I had been going to work with my head held high the entire week. I had done everything I was supposed to, to show them that I wasn’t going to tuck my tail and run. It was Friday, I had a whole week of hell behind me, and I was just so tired.
