So what if I took over three floors of the flagship hotel for irlfriend? It’s not as if the entire breakup or events that folloere just on me; she played just an equal part in the debacle She’s a rich socialite with a socialthat would rival oes, people will be there to witness whatever happens So the fact that we broke up in the fountain of the hotel lobby and the media was there to see it wasn’t just onto see the breakup regardless of where it took place, and it’s not urand fountain in the hotel lobby

In front of hundreds of people

After we absolutely trashed three hotel rooms because I insisted that we do those last twelve shots

Okay, so maybe it was a little bit my fault, but not to the extent that ht? All it’s going to take is a bit of good PR and this whole thing will be forgotten about in a couple of weeks Probably

Right now though, thea field day with this and because of that, calls fro in to the point where our phone lines are backed up, de that we take action What action that is, I’ at the desk withwater and Advil, desperately trying to stave off this headache

My brother Robin is seated across fro not to lose his cool as one particularly angry client is berating hi take place in his establish atobscenities at me as I try not to set the old bat off of the phone and he curses under his breath before he leans back in his chair, and then he looks at me and shakes his head He’s obviously pissed, but I still don’t see how he can blame this whole situation on me

“This isn’t“I don’t see why you’re so pissed atthere You’ve got famous people there all the time”

“Except it didn’t” He snaps, huffing “It happened while you were staying there, with your guests and your drama”

I roll eroup of the back and forth like a flock of old hens They’re all going back and forth about what strategy is best to deal with the press, and I can’t believe what I’ht? I always thought that there was no such thing as good publicity or bad publicity; just publicity I openthere’s another phone brought over to Robin fro that the person on the other line won’t wait He glares over at s his hand down over his face

“You know Ashley; I’ to have to cancel my cruise because of all of this Does that make you happy?”

Why on Earth would he need to cancel his cruise? I look back at him, brow cocked in confusion and a look of disbelief on

“Oh stop being draot a PR teaht? Let them handle it”

“I can’t let them handle this Ashley, I need to handle it myself!"

“And why not? What is so bad that you have to address the public directly and get your hands dirty, instead of the team whose job is to do exactly that for you?”

“I have to speak to theuests went through the hotel, banging on every door and asking people to drink tequila with thee is ruined and unless I show reesture, my profits won’t exist anymore”

Whoops

I rollas I drink the rest ofwhen his assistant reminds him that he really must take this call

“Fine so you have to cancel your cruise, big deal” I say with a shrug, shaking my head “It’s not like it’s your first and it won’t be your last”

He e of his nose, and then picks his gaze back up to

“Look Ashley; you got me into this mess so the least you can do is help me out a bit and make yourself useful I’ like that-“

“Well I should hope not!”
