“Even the bit about—”
“Taylor Swift? Yes.” I leaned back in the chair and, crossing my arms, I looked at her. “I want to hire you.”
She eyed me suspiciously and slowly said, “Okay.”
She really didn’t know it was me.
“Do you know what you’ll have to do?”
“Photoshoots for the products, billboards, ads, magazines?” she asked and continued speaking, her chin high and shoulders relaxed. “I’ll be honest. I haven’t done any photoshoots for any brand, so you’d be better off hiring someone else who has experience.”
“But?”
“But I would like to be a part of my friend’s company and bring inclusivity. I know this isn’t in the agreement, but I’d like to have some of my own rules.”
I stared at her, wondering what the hell happened to the girl with a clumsy grin and the urge to bring chaos wherever she went. Now a woman with such grace. No wonder they hired her for the role of a smart friend of the main character. It is the way of how she spoke, and few people in this day and age spoke after listening. It was charming.
“Okay, we can discuss the agreement once we talk with your manager.”
She smiled, her eyes shining, and I clenched my fist before continuing, “You know we will have to travel too, right?”
“Travel?”
I nodded. “I am not paying you millions to sit and look pretty in front of the camera, even though that’s a part of it. But we want more pictures in different places.”
Others would have been excited to travel for free, but she looked worried, a small frown on her face. “W-will it take too long? Traveling?”
I narrowed my eyes and leaned on the desk, clasping my hands together. “I didn’t see any movie or show shooting in your schedule for the next year.”
She pursed her lips. “Tell me. I’d like to be home soon.”
I raised my brow. I didn’t expect that. She always seemed like a free bird and never thought how she’d feel alone in a city full of fame and cameras. “No, it won’t take too long. I can ask our marketing and photography team to see if we can schedule something in Coral Springs.” I’d get to spend some time with Emma too.
“Okay, thanks.”
“Before we continue, I want to know something,” I said, standing up from the chair. “Do you regret your one-night stand?”
I couldn’t breathe as the silence echoed in the office. I wanted to know if she did or did not. If she said yes, then I’d forget about it and never tell her or let her find out it was me she slept with. If she said no... Well, that’d definitely complicate a lot of things.
“Why are you asking that?” she asked, staring up at me even while sitting down. “It’s none of your business.”
“Tell me, Summer.”
She tilted her head. I rarely called her by her name, and she knew I was serious and not playing around or teasing her.
I was so grateful for the desk that separated us.
“I don’t regret it,” she answered calmly. I sighed, closing my eyes. Fuck. “Even though it’s still none of your business and extremely creepy to ask me about it during an in—”
I opened my eyes and glared at her. Leaning close, I said, “It is my fucking business, kitten.”
Her eyes widened and lips parted. I was sure she stopped breathing as I walked around the desk to get closer to her.
“And I’m proud to know you don’t regret that night. Since you’ll be working for me, kitten.”
