Chapter 13

"You don't have any proof." She waves her perfectly manicured hand in my face. "You are just upset that the entire world saw your little tits."

They're not that little. I mean they're not big but they're at least a handful.

"Wow. Aren't you the definition of class?" I toss back because respecting your elders ceases to exist when they share your naked picture at a tech conference.

"What possible reason would I have to show that picture to anyone?"

It's a good question and right now, Allison Mitchell, sculptor and charity benefactor, thinks that she has the upper hand. When I did a search for her name online last night, every result was a beautiful image of her in an expensive dress or a glowing character reference from a business tycoon or celebrity. There's no doubt that the woman does amazing things for the charities of Manhattan. If you consider all the pictures of her hanging off the arms of the rich, single and attractive men of this city, you'd think that she has a life most women can only dream of. The problem is that she has a husband and two children.

"You were involved with Alec, weren't you?"

"What?" Clive finally re-enters our conversation. He'd taken a seat behind his desk after I told Allison that I knew she was the one who had sabotaged my presentation.

"She slept with Alec," I stop to correct myself. "She actually was in love with Alec."

"Alec Hughes?" she spits his name out with as much bitter disdain as she can conjure up. "You think I'd sleep with him?"

"I know you did."

"He's not even attractive," she throws the words back so fast my head almost spins.

"That's a weak argument." I lean back on my heel. "Alec is gorgeous."

I hear Clive clear his throat but his insecurities need to take a back seat. I'm going to push Allison into admitting what she did.

"I didn't sleep with Alec." She stomps her foot on the carpeted floor like a petulant child who can't have the last piece of candy. "Alec and I worked on a project together."

"Call it whatever the hell you want, lady." I roll my eyes. "Alec told me. He told me he dumped you when you went back to your husband for the second time."

"You were separated before?" Again, Clive picks the most inopportune time to chime in. Apparently, he and Allison didn't have any time to talk when they were banging each other.

"You were her third separation fling." I hold up three fingers to drill the point in. "She's actually still technically separated."

"You know that I love you, Clive." She turns towards him as she purrs the words. "Any other man meant nothing to me."

I look at Clive. His gaze is riveted to me. "How did you find out all of this?"

I ignore the question because it's not a discussion I want to have in front of his former lover. I turn back towards her even though her eyes are glued to him. "Why did you put that picture of me in the slideshow?"

"I told you that I had nothing to do with that.
