Chapter 15

When Renee returned from the kitchen snacking on crackers and drinking ginger ale, all the ladies were gathered around one another looking at one article in particular.

“What’s wrong?” Renee asked.

Claire responded for the group, “Lisa Monroe, a local journalist to this area, was the only one that wrote an unfaltering piece in regards to you. She also compared you to other women Antonio has dated recently. Let’s just say that in her personal opinion, you should not have been a front runner, let alone the winner of Antonio’s heart.”

“Hmmm,” Renee said taking that in.

“Don’t worry, Antonio has called her dismal. She will not be a problem for you anymore,” Elizabeth said clearly pleased with her brother.

“I need to get her re-hired. She also needs to do my personal interview,” Renee said.

Renee called Antonio’s office as the other ladies stood with their mouth opened in shock. His receptionist answered the phone and advised her to hold as she connected the call.

His smooth as silk voice came across the line, “Mia amor, how have you been?”

“I’m doing well Antonio; how about yourself?” Renee responded equally as sweet.

“Not as busy as you, I hear. Thank you,” Antonio said.

“What have you heard, from whom and thank you for what,” Renee asked.

“Aww, Colin is very good at his job as well, as whomever you have running PR for you. He is following you on all of your social media sites and I understand that we are trending on at least two continents. Thank you for stepping up and handling all of these details, it makes my life so much easier. You are playing your role to the T,” Antonio said.

Antonio’s last sentence hurt her for some reason but she decided to play her role. “No problem, you are welcome. It’s what I agreed too. There are two things that I need from you and I will be out of your hair,” Renee said.

“Anything,” Antonio said noticing that her voice had changed. Instead of being southern sweet tea, it was now business professional and distant.

“My side of the bridal party consists of seven people. You need seven men to stand in for you as well. We can contact them or you can have Colin to do so for you, but it would be better if you made the actual calls. Lastly, you had a certain Lisa Monroe terminated, because she wrote an unfaltering article about me. I need that corrected and I would like to offer her an exclusive interview with me.”

There was silence on the other end of the line, so much so that Renee thought the call had dropped. “Hello? Hello? Helloooo.”

“I’m here,” Antonio said finally. “She was very disrespectful in her analysis of you and your character. She spoke of things that she knows very little of. It was irresponsible reporting,” Antonio said becoming angry all over again.

“Now she should have the opportunity to report the honest to goodness truth, and get the story straight from the horse’s mouth. Who knows my story may help someone else.
