Chapter 11

Grace

I end up texting Sebastian and telling him I’ll be in after lunch. I’ve never been late or taken a sick day, so I’ve more than earned it. Besides, we aren’t even on speaking terms, so I highly doubt he’ll have much to say about it. He might even enjoy that I’ll be out of the office. That way we can put off the very necessary discussion about our arrangement for another day.

I pull up the hood of the fox onesie Myla gave me for my birthday and fall back on the couch, laying a clawed hand over my face. After my shower, I actually wished I had a comfortable robe I could slip into. My morning spent in Leon’s made me realize they are actually pretty nice, and the onesie is the closest thing I had.

I can’t believe I told Leon about my arrangement with Sebastian. What is he going to do with that kind of information? I thought I could trust him, but now I wouldn’t be surprised if he leaked it to some gossip site so the news could disseminate across the internet, slowly ruining Sebastian’s reputation. And mine, for that matter.

Sebastian was furious at the idea that I would tell Leon, so what would he do now that I actually had? Probably fire me. I would lose my job, Sebastian wouldn’t give me the glowing recommendation I’d need to get a job with any other banking institution in the city, and my dwindling savings account would force me back to Maryland and the farm where I’d do the books and live in my parents’ basement. Probably until I died.

There is a chance I’m being dramatic, but there is also a chance I’ve just glimpsed my future, so I stay horizontal on the couch, feeling sorry for myself. I have a few hours to wallow before I need to be at work.

I ate a bagel on the walk to the subway from Leon’s, but the pity inside of me needs fuel, so I shove my hand into the bag of cheese puffs and drop the cheesy balls into my mouth one at a time. Myla would push me off the couch and tell me to get myself together. She’d tell me to stop moping over the men in my life and take charge. But Myla isn’t here.

My phone buzzes with a new text, and it’s from my mom.

“Call me. We haven’t heard from you in a while. Love you.”

I’ve been calling less since I started living with Sebastian. It’s easier to lie to my parents when I don’t have to talk to them. How am I going to explain to them why I got fired? I was fake engaged to my boss and then fake cheated on him with the CEO of a rival bank, and he got mad and fired me. The story doesn’t exactly paint the picture of their wholesome, farm-raised daughter. My dad already hates that I live in New York City, so
