She laughed. She didn’t feel ridiculous. She felt sure of herself, competent, and strong. She stood up behind her desk.

“Have you seen the latest numbers, Stephan?”

“What numbers?”

“The media report. The publicity summary. The ratings for our WakeUp Miami appearances.

The sales figures from Ramona Cortez. Web site hits. Have you looked at any of it?”

“Of course I have.”

Lucy nodded. “Then you know that I have everything under control.”

Stephan looked up at her from his chair, a puzzled expression on his face. “Web site? You mean the Palm Club Web site?”

Veronica made another fish face, then snapped her gum.

“Yes, and our TheoandLucy.net site. It went live two months ago.”

“I never gave permission for that! Maria kept hounding me and I told her no!” Stephan shot up from the chair. “Don’t I have control of this agency anymore? Whose name is on the fucking door outside this place, tell me that? Does it say ‘Sherrod & Cunningham’?” He sounded out of breath. “Does it?”

Lucy could barely contain her disbelief. She watched Veronica slink out of her seat and move toward the door, her eyes wide. “Actually, Stephan,” Lucy said calmly, “the name Thorns is on that door, and Sarah would be ashamed at what you’re doing to her company.”

Stephan snorted. “No, she’d be ashamed of you, Lucy, prancing around this town like you were the shit, when you’re nothing but an overweight hick chick with a painfully obvious crush on her pretty-boy trainer. Do you know how ridiculous you look on TV with him? Do you have any idea what a joke you’re making of yourself? People all over town are talking about you, how you’ll never make it, how the Redmond gigolo is playing you like a harp, how he’s using you for the money.”

Lucy went numb from her scalp to her big toes. She had to ignore Stephan. She could not allow him to get under her skin like this. Not now. Not when she was doing so well. Not when Theo had shown her it was more than just a lopsided crusli—that it was real and true and the best thing that ever happened to her.

Not after she’d had sex with him. Five times!

He would never do that to her.

Stephan started for the door, then turned. “I’m going to be out of town for a couple weeks.

Do me a favor and try to show up at the party wearing something decent.”
