Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: You have to!
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Do I?
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: I did not spend all morning with your mother just to have you bail. You’re the one that’s supposed to be finding a wife!
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:You’re the one who refuses to admit to everyone YOU are my wife.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Temporary wife.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:You keep saying that.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: That’s because you seem to keep forgetting.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Is that what I’m doing?
Ugh! This man is impossible.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Fine. But you need to go to the Primrose.
My fingers shook when I saw the event in the list Mrs. Everette provided me. This is a level of exclusivity I never thought I’d get a window into. I’m not talking about movie stars and influencers. I’m talking about being born into it. But it’s the secrecy that really catches people’s attention.
Every year, my social media feed is filled with people’s conspiracy theories.
My favorite is that the attendees are actually a bunch of vampires who attend for their yearly blood-drinking celebration, and we never hear anything from the waitstaff because they’re all dead.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:The only gala I’ll be attending is the one for Prosthetics For Kids.
Warmth fills my chest, but I temper it. It may be my friend’s charity, but he’s not going because of me. He made the commitment to participate prior to our arrangement. Honestly, I was shocked when he volunteered himself and his brothers for the auction.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Your mother is insisting I get you there.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Since when has my mother been your boss?
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Since you told me to work with her.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:There’s a simple solution.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Please, do tell.
I twirl a sleek black pen between my fingers, hoping he can hear the sarcasm with which I wrote that.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Go with me.
The pen stalls mid-twirl as shock registers through me, and I’m momentarily stunned. I don’t want to admit just how appealing that sounds. I’m not going to even bother denying how curious I’ve been to know what goes on in there.
Oh yeah, Misty…that’s the reason you want to go. It has nothing to do with the shivers that trickle down your spine at the idea of going with him.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: CEOs don’t go to galas with their employees.
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Are you asking to be fired?
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: Do you want to be murdered in your sleep?
Damon Everette - CEO of Everette Industries:Be careful, Wife. I like it when you’re all murdery.
I ignore the flush in my cheeks, thanking God we aren’t having this conversation face-to-face.
Misty Hart - Junior PR representative: You would like that.
