Chapter 10.

Raul never questioned just how exactly his newest recruit had managed to secure a press pass for the Mayor’s latest campaign fundraiser, something akin to the golden ticket among the liberal publications, and he didn’t particularly care to find out. As long as his writers were doing their job and not being caught doing anything illegal, they were free to get the job done in whatever manner they saw as the most appropriate. Besides, Carrie was nowhere near the first woman to use a slinky backless dress to get the job done and she probably wouldn’t be the last.

The long lensed camera hanging from her neck cut a strong contrast with the rest of Carrie’s outfit; a well-fitting, floor skimming cobalt blue number she’d had in the back of her closet since her college newspaper’s Christmas party. She repeatedly told herself that her sartorial choice had nothing to do with titillating Mr Castro. It just paid off more to be a well-dressed hack in a room full of well-dressed chumps with money to burn.

How could she even consider taking this weird not-relationship with him to the next step when it was her job to pick apart every word that came out of his mouth? Her career had only just begun to take off and she didn’t want it to end so soon. Then again, she didn’t want to entirely rid her mind of those warm, comforting thoughts of Marcus either. He’d gotten under her skin and she was pretty certain she had the same effect on him. They were both risking far too much with their brief dalliances as it was. Why did she bother, she asked herself.
