Chapter 6

(Lisa)

The living room wasn’t big enough to pace. Lisa paced from the far end of the living room all the way into the kitchen and back. She’d been pacing since they’d entered the apartment.

“Can you believe this? Kit Rydell Publishing. Why the hell didn’t I know he was the founder? No wonder that signature stuck in my mind. Because it was his!” Lisa pushed her arms down to her sides and made a disgusted, angry sound, and kept pacing, getting more upset with each step.

“Maybe it’s not so bad. Sure, he was a shithead in college, but, he’s kinda your boss now. People change. It’s not unheard of, you know.” Toni sat perched on the edge of the sofa as if she were unsure what to do under the circumstances.

Lisa shook her head. “Not him. Not Kit Rydell, the playboy who couldn’t keep it in his pants.” She spun around in the kitchen. “Do you know that he’s the reason I still can’t date anyone with any hopes of it becoming a real relationship. He destroyed my faith in men. Period.” All the old feelings of anger and hurt welled up inside her and threatened to spill down her cheeks in the form of tears. She had thought she was over all that. The last time she had cried over Kit had been eighteen months ago. At least.

Toni scooted back onto the sofa, kicked off her shoes, and pulled her legs up so that she sat curled in what Lisa had always called her diva housecat position. She grinned mischievously at Lisa. “He looked hot in that suit, though, you have to admit that.”

“Seriously, Toni? Are you fucking kidding me right now?” She wheeled around and headed back for the kitchen, unable to stop her furious locomotion for fear that she might break down. “I just signed contracts at KR Publishing that will keep me in their exclusive employ for the next three years!” She threw her hands up. “I feel like I just signed a deal with the devil.” The first of the tears stung the backs of her eyes and she squeezed them shut momentarily to regain control.

“Okay, girlie, I know you’re upset. I know you feel like the universe just took a big shit on your golden day but think about it. KR Publishing is still the biggest and best house around. If you want to get your name out there, get noticed, do what you love to do, and make a boatload of money to boot, then KR Publishing is exactly where you need to be. No matter who’s running the place.”

“He can’t screw me over on this deal, can he? I mean, legally, he’s bound by the terms of the contracts, too. Right?” Lisa had trust issues out the wazoo and especially where Kit was concerned.

Toni shook her head seriously. “No, ma’am, he cannot legally screw over your career unless you turn out to be a shit writer. You’re no hack, so you have zilch to worry about on that front, at least.
