Chapter 10

Contrary to Chloe’s initial expectations, she took enjoyment in learning the role of an assistant studio executive. Over the course of the week, she helped Saul draft documents with her superior typing speed, and they giggled together at terrible storylines. She also coaxed him into sex on his office desk and scandalized his assistant when her hand landed on the intercom button.

“Many of these recent submissions are beneath our standards,” Saul muttered. “Unfortunate.”

“Oh come on. You should make this one, baby. It’s so horrible it’ll be funny. It’s like a parody of a true horror movie.”

“Perhaps.” Saul stroked his chin. “But it was not intended as a parody.”

“Okay, what if I tell the writer that if they intentionally cheese it up a little more, we’ll produce it for them?”

“Excellent idea. You have complete autonomy. Do as you will.”

“One of these days you’re going to say that, then I’m going to greenlight a big budget porno flick with a dozen kung fu transvestites shooting cocklasers.”

Her words scandalized Saul, but he left her at the helm during a meeting with his casting director. She spent the rest of her morning chatting with Harris until Saul returned at lunch. Her husband’s personal assistant excused himself from the room to partake in his own lunch break and left them alone.

“I have a private meeting to attend this afternoon with Brigid and her father. You may remain here in the studio or go to the estate with Leiv and Mahasti.”

“But I want to go with y—”

Saul cut her off. “No you shall remain here or at the estate. You have proven thus far that you are not to be trusted in Brigid’s presence.”

“Fine,” Chloe snapped. “I’ll have Leiv take me home now then.”

“Chloe—”

“Go deal with your dragon politics.” She brushed past him on her way to the door and didn’t stop until she reached the elevator. Leiv greeted her at the front doors and escorted her to the waiting car.

“Hi, Leiv. I want the full drive home please… No magical rushing,” Chloe mumbled from the rear seat, where she laid her head against a silk-cased pillow. Sometimes, the feeling of movement eased her nausea. Saul had given her countless rides around the property and confessed to enjoying it.

“Of course. Will we make a stop for your usual?” Leiv asked.

“No Wendy’s today.”

It didn’t take long for guilt to gnaw more than her appetite away. Thirty minutes later as they left Los Angeles behind, Chloe pulled out her mobile phone.

I love you, she texted him. She added an apology to the next message and waited, holding her breath, for his response.

Saul: You were forgiven before the words left your lips. I love you, Chloe. Take the time to unwind and enjoy the use of our bank account. Spend frivolously.

I don’t want to spend frivolously. I want you to hold me, she texted back.

Saul: I must attend to business with Maximilian and Brigid. Once our negotiations are complete, I will return to share the news.

Okay. Love you, she messaged, before putting the phone away again.
