“Well then, let’s continue.You met over drinks, and then what?Fell in love and married soon after?”
The cynicism in my tone is so clear Jason shoots me a look.
“Three months,” Courtney glares at me.“I moved in with him a week after we met.”
Of course she did.
CHAPTER FOUR
COURTNEY
SIX YEARS AGO
––––––––
Ifeel like all mydreams are coming true.
I’m married!
To the most amazing man.
One minute I was waitressing on Seventh Avenue, the next I’m modeling for Kate Spade.All I had to do was pose in a handful of positions with their gorgeous handbags and I got to take one home.Which I was carrying when our producer and two of the other lovely models and I were walking through the lobby when we bumped into Adam Blackmore.
I knew who he was.
The successful tech mogul was often in the media, and people either loved him or hated him.One thing everyone agreed on was his looks.Adam is gorgeous, and while he’s almost ten years my senior, I still thought he was very handsome.
When he smiled at me, I blushed.I’d never met anyone with that much money.I mean, abilliondollars.
I secretly think that’s why he invited us to join him for drinks.So, we all rode in the elevator up to the rooftop garden bar, which had amazing views and fairy lights.We were treated like celebrities while food and wine flowed.
The night was growing late, but I was in no hurry to go home.I’d been in Manhattan for three months then and was struggling to pay my rent.I thought I’d secure a retail position after working at Walmart back home in South Tucson, but I hadn’t.
Mom and Dad are furious with me still.
At least twice a week I get horrible messages from them, or a phone call.I answer because what if it’s something serious?
