CHAPTER 20

Dominika

“I swear to God I’m going to end up cross-eyed,” I complain.

I rotate my head in an effort to dislodge the kink in my neck from hours of pouring myself wholeheartedly into my work. It’s to no avail. My whole upper body aches.

“Thanks a lot, Auburn Sorrel for being completely clueless.”

Loki practically assaulted me yesterday morning in between takes to beg me to fix Auburn’s mistakes. Given the complexity of the video, I knew I would have my work cut out for me. I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Auburn screwed up monumentally. Translation, it’ll take me a couple of weeks before I present the band with a kick ass music video. I guess I can’t complain too much because Loki promised me a generous bonus. Since Joel and his band will be bouncing around from one interview to another for the next two days, the timing couldn’t be better.

I need a break.

I look at the time on my iMac and decide I need to put something in my stomach before I pass out.

“Lunchtime!”

One of the advantages of having my head wrapped in my work like this is there’s no room for Rod Wolfe. This consuming busyness allows me to cast him from my thoughts. It also prevents me from replaying my conversation with Joel. On one hand, his offer is tempting, on the other, it’s so life changing, I don’t know if I have the guts to take him up on it. And of course, the idea of being away from Rod for six months doesn’t weigh into my indecision.

Right.

I ready myself to get up from my chair, when my phone rings. I pick up immediately.

“Hey, Marissa!”

“Hi, Dominika! I hope I’m not catching you at a bad time,” she says.

Marissa Feiffer is Rod’s executive assistant.

“Actually, you’re preventing me from jumping behind the wheels of my car to track down Auburn through the city and strangle him with my bare hands. He’s a poor excuse for a video editor. Even his skills as a director are lamentable.”

“That bad?”

“I had better skills at fourteen.”

“Yikes.”

“I may even have to reshoot parts of it. Thank God there are hours and hours of footage I can hopefully salvage something from or else it would cost Rod and Loki a fortune in production.”

“Well, that’s why the bosses keep raving about you. You’re their secret weapon,” she laughs.

“Thanks for the vote of confidence.”

“Oh, please, you don’t need it. You have mad skills and talent coming out of your yin yang.”

I blush even though she can’t see me.

“Is your boss asking you to do his dirty laundry?” I ask.

“What do you mean?”

“Are you calling me because Rod has a request, but instead of picking up the phone, he’s going through you?”

I haven’t heard from him since I left him standing there at the studio yesterday afternoon. It’s weird. We’ve talked or texted each other every day since we became best friends. Even when he was traveling, we’d still be in touch.

“Nah. The boss was at an offsite meeting until half an hour ago.
