I stood and shut the door in case anyone was eavesdropping. Then I lowered my voice to barely above a whisper. "She was only after my money. And she's been cheating on me the whole time."
"How could she be cheating on you the whole time?" Alexis echoed my lowered volume. "She wasn't dating anyone two months before the show. Dion verified that information."
"She's cheating with Dion."
Alexis was silent as she processed that. Then she spoke in a very calm and cool voice. Too calm and cool. "That's a heavy accusation. Do you have proof of this?"
"Not exactly. I went back to the house after leaving yesterday morning, and I overheard Dion and Gwen in her bedroom. They were worried about their alimony plans if she never got to marry and divorce me."
I still felt sick when I thought about it.
Alexis was silent for a moment and I could almost see the cogs turning in her brain as she focused on the stack of pink Post-it notes on her desk. After a few minutes, I began to sweat.
Was she thinking of a way to sue me for everything?
Then seeming to come to some sort of conclusion she sat up straighter and said, ”I need you to get back with her."
“What? No!” I pulled my head back in shock. ”I can't stand her."
Alexis held a finger to her lips. "It's not like that. We need proof of an affair. We can use this." Her eyes lit on fire. "Yes…" Her mind seemed to piece a few more puzzle pieces together. "Yes, this is actually really good. We're having the hardest time painting Gwen in a positive light. We can twist this, but it will take some time. Just leave it up to me. I know with your, um shall we say, lackluster acting skills it might be difficult…but I think I have a way to make this work."
"But I have to get back with her?"
"We need you guys to have another weekend together, so we can catch her and Dion in action. Believe me, you'll like this. I'm guessing you're probably a little worried about everyone hating you once they find out you broke Gwen's heart…right? Since all we have right now is your word against hers."
I nodded.
"Well, if we can show them what was actually happening, then you're off the hook and you get everyone’s sympathy. And I have justice for that rat producer of mine, and hopefully, ratings that will help us survive until next season."
"But does it have to be a full weekend? Can I fake an accident or something?"
"With your acting skills?" Alexis laughed. "No, I'll drop by with the excuse of you needing to do some last-minute pickups or something."
That would definitely be believable. I'd certainly done a ton of those already.
Alexis held up a finger. "But I can't have you breathing a word of this toanybody.No one can know. No friends or family.No one."
"What about Kate? She's my handler and sees everything."
"Not even Kate. I have big plans for this, and I will not let anything else go wrong this season. Is that something I can count on you for?"
I dropped my shoulders and sighed. "I can do it."
