“Revenue, sweet sister, revenue.”
“Seriously, Mach? One freaking room! A small one. I’m your sister.”
“Should have gotten a degree.” He shrugged and revved the engine.
I stood back. “I went to the Olympics, dumb-ass. There wasn’t a whole lot of time for college.”
“It won’t be forever, Cam, just prove yourself.” he said just before hitting the gas and speeding away.
Now I was mad all over again. A game. A silly stupid freaking game, and I was the joke.
Between my discussion with Jacob, and the run-in with my brother, I was completely frazzled. I felt like I was racing to get my life together.
The heel of my boot lodged itself in a crack in the sidewalk causing me to fall sideways. I landed on my right hand and pain shot up my arm. I winced and rubbed it. Tears pooled in my eyes. I waited until the pain subsided before slowly standing and testing my weight on my ankle.
Wearily, I continued walking to the Foundation’s office, rubbing out the pain in my hand.
By the time I reached the two-story yellow farmhouse that had been converted into offices, I was ready to lay down on the sidewalk and just take a nap.
The bell rang over the door when I entered. An enthusiastic receptionist stood to greet me. “Camille Bradley? I am so excited to meet you. I recognize your face from social media. Can I just say? Your calendar idea has been the buzz of the team.” She fanned her face. “I cannot wait until all those gorgeous men are here for the photo shoot.”
She leaned toward me and said in a conspiratorial tone, “Can you tell me who you have? I won’t say a word.” She leaned back and made a zipper across her mouth.
“Well…” I paused.
“Prisha.”
“Prisha. It’s nice to meet you. And I would love to tell you, but I need to tell Jenna first.” I winked at her like we would have a secret.
Prisha ran back to the receptionist desk. She picked up the receiver and pushed a button on a desk phone. Her eyes twinkled at me. “Ms.Colter, Ms.Bradley is here to talk about the calendar.” She paused. “Okay, I’ll let her know.”
“She said she’ll meet you out back.”
