Lucas bursts through the front door, wagging his phone in the air. He has sweat sliding down the side of his face and huge sweat pits under his arms.

“What did I tell you? Didn’t I tell you this would happen?” he barks.

I snatch the phone and look at the horrifying picture of Farrah screaming at Millie in a restaurant.

“Oh my god,” I say as I rush to get my phone.

“Yeah, ‘oh my god’ is the right expression, because how the hell am I going to clean this up?” he yells as he slides into a chair.

“I gotta call Millie,” I mutter as I start to dial her number.

Lucas hops up and throws my phone across the room.

“Are you insane?” I scream.

“Don’t act brand new, kid. You and I both knew how Farrah would actually act,” Lucas says.

My face burns. “She promised she’d keep quiet after she signed.”

“How many times has Farrah kept her word? Besides, we need her. Millie is a sweet girl, but this was never created to protect her,” Lucas says.

“That doesn’t mean Millie has to get slandered,” I remind him.

“No one expected Farrah to be back so soon, but we do have to point out the obvious. Millie had a little too much fun being Farrah and swiping your black card, kid. If she’d stayed low and away from Farrah’s friends, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“It was your grand idea,” I snap. “You told me to step up and clean my mess up.”

“Yeah, so it’s your fault you don’t come to work often enough to recognize one of your employees and not screw them!” he roars.

I don’t care about Lucas’s plight. Millie is getting torn to shreds on social media and I feel obligated to help her. I grab my keys. “I need you to stay here with Hayden. I’m going to find Millie.”

Lucas laughs bitterly. “Like hell I am. Your problem is downstairs screaming. I give it five minutes before that maniac is banging on your door. Millie is a ‘has been’ now.”

“Millie risked everything to do this for us!”

“Yep, and it’s just our luck. Therefore, we don’t associate with hillbillies.”

I push Lucas back, forgetting he’s a black belt in taekwondo. He grabs me by the collar and throws me on the counter.

“Who do you think you’re dealing with, kid? Huh?”

Just on time, there’s a loud banging on the door. I break free of his grip. I rush to the door and swing it open, coming face-to-face with an angry Farrah. She pushes past me and drops her coat onto the floor.

“You bloody assholes are going under!” she screams.

I rush after her as she walks up to Lucas and slaps him across the face. I secretly get a kick out of it since he has always been on a high horse.

“Listen, you have every right to be pissed—”

“In what world was any of this logical? Hiring some fake look-alike?”

“Millie cleaned up your image. She’s the reason those 700,000 followers returned,” I say.

Farrah turns to face me. “Oh, Millie, is it?”

“Yes, and you will not go anywhere near her.
