Matt sent Josh a message and drove north. It was a long drive to Manchester. It would be tight to sort everything out and get back for the funeral, but he’d do his best.

He had time to think as he cruised up the motorway. Her words sat uneasily in his stomach. When he stopped at a service station, he called her.

“Hey. I miss you already.”

“I miss you too.” The smile in her voice made him relax, but she sounded weak, and he ached.

They chatted for a few moments. It would be fine.

In Manchester, the cause of the problems became clear as the diva threw a vase at him when he opened the suite door, the two security guards following him.

She glared, and her rigid body shook.

Matt calmly put his hands up. “I’d like an explanation for why you’ve attempted to assault me.” He took a chair, and much as he did in the pub with Oliver, he set it out and sat on it.

“They won’t leave me alone. None of you will. I want some fucking privacy.” She screeched and neared him.

“Sit. Down.” The sharp tone of his voice brooked no argument, and she sat on the bed. “You’ve had two personal assaults within six months. One of whom was stalking you. This is not a light matter. They got to you because your security team were lax in their duties. My men have strict instructions, and you should be grateful that they’re willing to put up with you.

“The tour isn’t forever. You cannot swan off on your own. You’ve more sense than that, surely. So, I’ll make you a deal. Stop throwing things, grow up, display a modicum of reasonable behaviour, and I’ll recommend an excellent resort for you to visit when you’re done. This place is amazing. I worked a job there for an actor, fantastic, you’ll love it.” Matt leant forward with his elbows on his knees, not looking away from her. “Then you can do what you want and put yourself in danger. I don’t care, but while my reputation and business is riding on you, you’ll do as I fucking say.”

Her face went blank, her eyes staring far away. Like she’d given up.

With a sigh, he sat back again, crossing his legs. “What’s really going on?”

There was a flash of contempt. “Like you don’t know.”

“I don’t, but I want to.”

She closed her eyes. “Am I supposed to believe you have my interests above your employer?”

“You’re my employer.”

She sneered. “I didn’t pick you.”

No, Trent, her manager, did. Matt tilted his head. “I swear, you’re my priority. What do you need?”

She rubbed her hands together, almost squirming in discomfort.

“Tell me.”

She looked at him. “Don’t leave me in a room alone with Trent or anyone.”

“Done. In exchange, behave to my guys.” Matt was immovable.

“Fine.”

“Thank you.”

“As long as you stay.”

Matt wanted to throw something himself. “I can stay for a short while, but I have other business to attend to.” He checked his watch. “You need to be already on your way.
