Chapter 13

Aedyn

I was sitting with my yellow legal pad and a pen scribbling notes in a business meeting whey my secretary stuck her head in the door. I thought I’d told Kayla no interruptions, no calls. It was crucial that my team settle this issue at once.

One of our biggest clients had come in guns blazing and mad as hell. Apparently, he and his partner, representatives of a large Christian owned fast food, chicken franchise didn’t approve of the ad campaign blitz our creative team came up with. The ad was approved via storyboards and the final idea went into production for a TV ad and aired immediately. Although the storyboard version showed a pretty young woman eating their chicken sandwich, somehow she became a hot, sexy babe by the time the video version was filmed. And if that wasn’t enough to put us in the doghouse, someone noticed an indecent camera shot when the girl’s skimpy bikini top slipped and exposed a little dark edge of her nipple. They were furious, to say the least.

I had to stifle a grin when I watched the video at the beginning of the meeting. I didn’t mind seeing it. But then I’m a guy and I appreciate the female form in all of its artistic magnificence. I even wondered if possibly, one of the film’s team members let the faux pas slip on purpose as some kind of statement against this company. Rumors had been flying in the news lately that this particular business discriminated against women. They held a strict dress code for the women employees, but not for the men. Plus, women were not being promoted to high-level positions. Maybe it was karma coming to kick them in their ass. Or maybe it was just a mistake. Whatever. I knew this screw up would cost us. My partner and I were working damage control. If they pulled out all together, so be it. I sure as hell wasn’t desperate for their money.

Kayla hung there, her hand resting on the door handle waiting for a pause in the conversation before she said, “Excuse me, Aedyn…”

I lifted my pen from the page and turned to look over my shoulder with raised brows. “Yes?”

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but there’s a woman out here who says it’s an emergency.”

My first thought jumped to Lauren. Was something wrong? And then my second thought; why is Lauren here? She’s not supposed to leave the state until the trial is over.

I jumped to my feet and set my notepad on the desk. “Excuse me for a minute. I have something I need to take care of. I’ll be right back. Roger will go over the details of a filming schedule remake for your ad. I’ll just be a minute.”

Kayla was standing at the door, still holding the handle as I walked out and her cheeks turning red from embarrassment from the look I’d given her. She realized she shouldn’t have interrupted.

The minute I stepped into the reception
