Chapter Fourteen

Allison and Karen’s photo shoot with “Wonder Boy,” as Sharon Eaton brazenly referred to him, went off without a hitch after Sharon had slithered from the studio. When she was gone, Allison was glad. She had thought she would enjoy working on her new account. Now, she questioned that assumption. It all depends on how often I have to interact with Sharon Eaton! she decided.

The show must go on, and “Wonder Boy” departed to get ready for another outdoor concert. Karen stayed behind to develop her pictures of him, and Allison retreated to the comparative sanctity of her private office.

The next day, Allison found herself virtually alone in her office building where Saturdays were always quiet. The peace and solitude gave her time to concentrate on specific details in her proposals. She worked diligently, but found her thoughts wandering. How could Karen have managed to be so fortunate to have known him before me? That was an incredible bit of coincidence. Thankfully, their passion cooled during the time they were apart, but still, I’d be a lot more comfortable with him if I had him all to myself!

The morning passed quickly. Allison did not mind studying the list of magazines Sharon had unceremoniously dumped upon her to review, and she was professionally curious to gauge whether they would do the band any good. She took time to uncover their strengths and find a way to integrate them into the overall creative plan, more to help him than to appease Sharon.

Since bad weather had not been in the forecast, she had not brought an umbrella, and she had dressed somewhat carelessly in a comfortable pair of washed-out blue jeans, a baggy sweat shirt from college days, and sneakers. She had avoided applying makeup, knowing that not even Marge would be in the office, much less any clients, but going outside and getting wet was not in her plans. When rain began to patter against her window, she was glad she had thought to grab a banana and an apple for lunch and toss them in her purse.

She had just peeled her banana when she heard a knock on her office door. Who could that be? Karen would call before driving all the way over here. She rose to go to the door, but stopped first to survey her reflection in the glass on a large picture adorning her wall. She shook her head in disbelief. I wouldn’t have dressed this way if I had known someone might be coming in to see me. I don’t like the idea of being alone in a deserted building with someone at the door!

The knock came again, louder this time.

There was certainly no way to avoid the unwelcome intruder. She took a big bite of the banana
