CHAPTER SEVEN

“I’m not happy.” Ryan looked at his computer.

Dorothy’s face smiled back at him. Sometimes he wondered if modern technology was all it was cracked up to be. Skype had changed the way they worked and it wasn’t all good news.

“There’s nothing wrong with a little publicity.” Dorothy was determined to go through with their original plan.

Ryan gaze flicked to Sophie. So far, she hadn’t said much. “What’s happened can’t be called a ‘little publicity’. There was a story about us on the local television station. A reporter called me. He’s going to run a story about Sophie tomorrow.”

Dorothy rolled her eyes. “I hardly think a story in the Bozeman Chronicle is going to make world headlines.”

“That’s not the point,” Ryan insisted. “Your publicity campaign was supposed to focus on me, not Sophie. She doesn’t want her name or face plastered across the media.”

“You should have thought of that before you took her to the talent show. You don’t get to pick and choose what events are going to create the most interest. They’re calling Sophie the billionaire’s Cinderella. It’s a publicist’s dream. You need to make the most of it before the media move on to someone else.”

Ryan ran his hands through his hair. “I don’t want to make the most of it. The talent show was supposed to create some positive publicity. It’s become my worst nightmare.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

“We had to put another two security guards on my front gate. Reporters have been trying to get close to my property. It’s been like a circus around here for the last two days.” It didn’t matter what he said, Dorothy didn’t understand how important it was to keep Sophie’s life separate from his.

“I’d like to say something.” Sophie moved her chair so that she was in front of the computer’s camera. “I think what you’ve done for Ryan is amazing. All of the stories you’ve written have been positive. But I can’t be part of your publicity campaign.”

Dorothy’s eyes narrowed. “You’re the media darling of the moment. Half the women in America want to know the name of the woman who’s captured a billionaire’s heart. You’re a beautiful woman. Why on earth wouldn’t you make the most of the publicity and enjoy it?”

“I haven’t captured anyone’s heart.” Sophie’s cheeks blushed beet red. “The story the media have come up with is based on a fairy tale. It’s not real and it never will be. There are other things happening in my life. I can’t be part of any Cinderella story.”

“You’re not running from the police, are you?”

If Dorothy knew how close she was to Sophie’s problem, she’d be a little more concerned about the monster she’d created.

“I’m not running from anyone. I’m hiding.”

Ryan couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Had Sophie just told Dorothy she was hiding?

Dorothy, to give her credit, blinked a few times before saying anything. “Would you care to repeat that?”

“I’m hiding from someone. They’re trying to stop me from making a dietary supplement that could help millions of people.
