“If nothing happened, then what is the big emergency? Why did you call me down here on a Saturday morning? I thought there was some sort of crisis?”
“There is definitely a crisis. The paparazzi at the event took some pictures that could be……. a bit awkward……and misconstrued…..”
“Pictures?! Jesus Christ Edward! Pictures?!”
“I told you I didn’t do anything! She was trying to seduce me! Seriously! I did nothing to encourage it. I never told her to take off those goddamned animal print scrubs. That was 100% her idea! I was totally against it!”
“Please stop! I don’t want to hear anymore of your idiotic nonsense! I need you to be quiet so I can think about the best way to spin this before the press does. Shit! I can’t have your grandfather seeing this on the 5 o’clock news! I’m probably gonna have to call in a few favors in order to save your ass this time….”
Julia looked furious, but I watched as my brilliant publicist instantly took charge of the situation. The wheels were in motion now as she diligently began working on my latest public relations problem, ignoring my presence entirely as she made phone call after phone call on my behalf. That’s what she did best. She took care of me. She seemed unusually worried, but I wasn’t; my future was secure in her extremely capable hands.
“I love watching you work,” I said, interrupting her flow.
Her most recent call came to a screeching halt as she turned to me and tossed the cellphone back into her purse.
“You love watching me work? Really? Do you think I want to be doing any of this? It might already be too late Edward. You’re trying really damn hard to screw everything up. You’re going to lose your company, your inheritance, and all the damn good you could have done in this world with that kind of money and power.”
“Does this always have to be about money? I appreciate your concern but there has to be more to life than just trying to cover my ass all the time while trying to get my grandfather’s fucking approval. It’s starting to get pretty fucking tiresome.”
“Excuse me? Did I hear Mr. Richie Rich say money isn’t everything? Don’t make me laugh! It’s easy for you to say that because you’ve never had to live without it!”
“You’re wrong about that. There are some things in life that are more important than money. I don’t know how the hell I can make you understand that!”
That did it. I could see the fire raging in her eyes once again. My dick throbbed in anticipation.
“What the hell are you talking about? Of course money is everything! You can’t do a damn thing in this world without it! Everything we do requires money and you know it!”
I grabbed her wrists and pulled her toward me.
“If that’s true…” I whispered, bringing my lips dangerously close to her ear.
“Do we fuck because I have money?”
