“Well…it started like this…” then she went on to tell me exactly what had happened the previous day at work, and how it’d all been a joke

Except, her coworkers hadn’t realized that it was a joke, and some of them had spread the rumor far and wide So far and wide, in fact, that word had traveled to just the right ears, and the lie was now spread to the oddamn world

This Was Perfect!

“Huh,” I tried to hold in my elation “That’s unfortunate”

Conleigh gave me a worried look “What do we do?”

I tried not to smile, which I just barely accomplished by the skin of my teeth

It wouldn’t do for her to know that I was actually quite entertained by any of this She also didn’t need to know that I was enjoying that fact she’d e faux pas

“I guess now I gotta get in touch with my publicist,” I finally said “But she’s hours ahead ofnow That’s why I get the emails instead of the phone calls I’ll have to email her and wait for her to call back”

“Why do you have a publicist that lives in the UK?” she asked me what everyone asked me

I shrugged “Honestly? Because I started asking around with a few of the guys, and they all recommended somebody completely different from the next person Rome recommended Elouise’s—that’s her na on any new clients, but he said his as She is British, and little did I know that they were in the process of getting divorced at the ti story short, she lives in the UK She’s really good though, so I keep her If it was soe that she had to deal with, I have her number and I can call her so we could work it out But this isn’t that big”

Conleigh blinked at that lengthy explanation “That’s quite a story…I assume youall willy-nilly”

I foundat that “Willy-nilly? No, I’o all willy-nilly and do shit without first thinking it through You’re right”

I felt a trickle of sweat start downout for a et in the shower Maybe we can order a pizza?”

Her brows rose “You eat pizza?”
