"Great. We'll make sure everything is perfect." Then she dismissed me, telling me she'd be in touch with the details once they were nailed down.
I left the conference room and went in search of Kate. I needed to make sure everything was okay between us. She'd been crying when I'd walked in on her and Alexis's meeting. She was probably worried I believed the tabloids. I may have doubted for a moment, but now that I'd had time to think about it, I realized I knew her well enough to know she couldn't have done any of those things. I needed to make things right. It was all happening because of me, anyway.
But when I made it to her desk, she wasn't there.
"Alexis told her to take a couple of days off." Oliver walked up behind me, sipping from his coffee mug.
"Was she upset when she left?"
"You could say that.” Oliver nodded, blowing into the mug. “She looked like she'd been crying for a while."
Was there anything I could do to make this better? I couldn't just drive over to her place. There were probably paparazzi all over, waiting for the next incriminating photo.
I thanked Oliver and then went to my truck to go home. I'd just have to give her a call and hope it was good enough. Though all I really wanted to do was run to her, hold her in my arms, and tell her that everything would be okay. Things would blow over and everyone would eventually move on.
I just had to get through the fake proposal first.
