âDamn it. I should have been out of here ten minutes ago.â
âYou're running around here like a chicken with your head cut off,â Sarah observes from the doorway to my office.
âAnd you aren't doing much to make me feel better.â
She pauses, then begins slowly clapping like weâre at a golf tournament. âYay. You're doing great.â
âYou're lucky I like you.â Finally, I find my phone under a pile of newspapers and magazines. I like to go through them to keep an eye out on current events, gossip, that sort of thing. I can always tell when a good PR specialist is on the job. It's sort of a superpower of mine. Years spent spinning stories in my client's favor have left me with a sharp eye.
âI didn't know he'd want so many hours, but then I guess he figures he's bought it.â
She's not kidding about Sawyer wanting my time. This has been the longest week of my life, and instead of being able to go home and unwind on a Friday night, I have to drive up to Somerset Harbor for a meeting with the handful of city council members whoâve reached out to Sawyer over the past several days. It took a little bit of sweet talking, but I managed to reach out to each of them individually and convince them to come to dinner at the club.
The idea of once again making the drive up and back leaves me feeling more tired than I already did. âI should rent a place up there. It would save on mileage.â
âOr you could stay with Sawyer.â
The hint of humor she can't hide leaves me glaring at her. âDon't even joke about that.â
âSure, of course.â Still, her lips twitch like she's trying to hold back a laugh.
âIt's not funny. I hate him, you know this.â I throw my phone into my bag with a grunt. âAll week, it's been like managing a toddler. He always wants to go off on a whim without thinking things over.â
âHe thinks he's being proactive.â
âHe's being a pain in the ass,â I grumble. âI swear, if I get through this without killing him, it'll be a miracle.â
âOr kissing him.â
âOne more wisecrack, and I swear...â
âOkay, fine. But let's not pretend you aren't wearing your hottest outfit for this meeting.â
I look down at my black sheath dress, biting my lip. I canât pretend I didnât deliberately choose the dress that leaves me feeling powerful and confident, but sexy? âYou think it's my hottest outfit?â
âYou look fantastic, and you know it. That's the dress you wear when you want to impress people.â She folds her arms, arching an eyebrow. âAdd to that the pearl necklace and the Cartier watch, and it looks to me like you're pulling out all the stops.â
Her mention of my watch makes me check it, and I cringe harder than before. âI really need to goâor else heâll end up doing something stupid before I get there.â I practically run for the door, and not only because I'm late.
