@Stargossip: Is it just me, or do Brad and Teagan have zero chemistry?

@SpikesandCollars: So true! I bet this is worse than that first vampire movie!

@TwistedTealover: We’ll see. They might surprise us.

@Deathtothesystem: @TwistedTealover No chance. They both suck weeds.

I’ve shocked her.

Well, good because I shocked myself. We both should be on equal footing in this.

It’s hard to dislike her, knowing I didn’t have all the facts. Based on the conversation I overheard, she wasn’t involved in getting Teagan this role.

That was all her father. He’s the one who I dislike. Not Mallory.

I was unfair to her, and while I might not say those words out loud, I’ll do my best to steer the ship to water.

If I’m being honest, my opinion of her started to shift before that phone call. I have no idea when it happened, but somewhere between her going to bat for Teagan, reading lines with her at every free moment, and her unending determination to improve this situation, I realized she works hard and genuinely cares for her client.

I don’t think it’s all about the money, and it certainly isn’t about the family legacy—two things I can admire in any agent.

In Hollywood, it’s easy to lose sight of a passion to help. When money gets involved, the waters get murky.

I have no intention of telling her all this, but I’m tired of fighting. With no good reason to walk around this island going out of my way to be a dick to her, I’m waving my white flag.

An invisible one.

One in which Mallory can’t look at me in the way she does, hands on her hips, and I told you so written all over her face.

We’re halfway to the shoot location when it occurs to me that maybe Mallory doesn’t realize the leak is still an issue. I stop and turn toward her, not wanting to have this conversation around everyone else. Not knowing who’s responsible makes things difficult.

“Did you know that there has been a new post about the set every day, sometimes multiple times a day, since we’ve been here?”

“What?” she bites out. “Nobody told me! I thought that was handled.”

“I’ve been checking every day.”

Her hands fly up. “My phone hardly works here. I have barely been able to check any of my social media. When it does work for a brief second, I have business to handle. You’re lucky enough to be established with employees.”

She has a point.

She sighs heavily. “Stefan fired all those people for no reason.”

I lift a shoulder. “Maybe. Maybe not. The person responsible for posting might be gone, but that means they have an accomplice feeding them information.”

She nods. “So many possibilities.”

“Exactly. Whoever is doing it needs to be stopped and fast.” I run my hands back through my hair. “I didn’t drop weeks of my life and desert my other clients to come to this isolated island for nothing.”

“Same. Well . . . at least about the life part.” She nibbles her bottom lip, and my eyes follow the movement.
