THIRTEEN

AIDAN

“Alex wants to see you right away.” My assistant’s voice lifted my head from the smooth and cool surface of my desk.

Christ, I was getting old, two hours of sleep didn’t cut it anymore for a guy pushing forty.

“What for?” I asked, suppressing a groan.

“He didn’t say. He just said he needed you right now.”

“Okay, thanks.” I dragged my ass from the desk chair and into my private bathroom. My bloodshot eyes burned and after another dose of Visine, I left my office, noticing Lacey wasn’t in hers across the hall.

In the elevator, I ignored my haggard reflection in the mirrored walls and contemplated all the things that could be wrong. Managing over a hundred singers and musicians cast a wide net of daily problems that could arise at any time.

Jaxson crashed into my mind. Could he have complained about something? The entire label had been tripping over themselves to keep him happy. Last night’s porno activity being evidence of that.

Inside Alex’s penthouse office suite, I searched for my boss. The man who gave me a new life after my singing career fell apart. And my marriage. To the guy’s daughter.

Alex wasn’t sitting at his desk on the right and he wasn’t on one of his sofas on the left. And for once he wasn’t chugging down scotch at the wet bar.

Lacey’s bright blonde hair caught the light off the windows. With her back ramrod straight, she sat at the meeting table off in the corner. With her father.

Uh oh.

“Come on in, Aidan,” Alex waved me over.

I greeted him with a handshake. Despite Alex being CEO, Lacey and I managed the label’s operations. Alex showboated around L.A., making artists think we’re a great label.

Lacey may have had only an hour more sleep than me, but she looked fucking pristine in a tight white sleeveless dress and black patent-leather stilettos. “Hey,” she said with a nonplussed glance in my direction and the emptiness there shattered me.

I’d passed out in my bed stupidly thinking the kiss, the blow job, and the finger fuck could have been the right spark needed to fix what had broken between us years ago. That hope dissolved into a pit in my stomach.

“What’s up?” I grabbed the seat next to Lacey as I often did while meeting with Alex. We’re a team, even in name only at the label.

“Say hello to Sullivan Music’s newest CEO,” Alex said with a hand on Lacey’s shoulder.

A shock wave rocked me from the inside out. Sullivan Music. Thompson’s sister label in Manhattan. “What? Where did this come from? Derrick Mannino runs Sullivan.”

“Not anymore.” Alex proudly smiled.

“He’s wanted to move on for a while,” Lacey added to rid me of the impression that her daddy pushed out a thirty-year record label genius for his little girl.

“When?” I asked, and the reality that I wouldn’t see Lacey every day sank in and destroyed me.

“Effective immediately,” Alex answered. “My admin is writing up the press release now. I’d like to make a big announcement here, but you know our Lacey, she wants to be low key.
