Love Will Always Remember, page 27
Rebecca smiled. “How does Director of US Client Management sound?”
Chelsea exhaled. Like everything she’d been working for her entire adult life. She was so close the honeyed scent of success teased her nostrils. There was no way she would let an obnoxious tech geek prevent her from fulfilling her ambition. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”
“Great.” Howard beamed, offering her two thumbs-up.
“There’s one small caveat,” Mike cautioned.
It didn’t matter. She’d do whatever it took to complete this assignment.
“Adam is a brilliant man, but he’s . . . demanding. You’re not the first professional we’ve hired to help him. He says we’re trying to change him and he’s refused to work with any of them.”
That didn’t sound good. “Isn’t that why you need my help? Aren’t you trying to change him?”
“No. We don’t want to change Adam. I don’t think anyone can. But we can’t have him being surly and rude to reporters. Not in this day of instant uploads that go viral in minutes.”
“So, what’s the problem?”
“If he knows we sent you, he’ll be resistant. You’ll need to find another way to approach him.”
This assignment had left strange in its rearview mirror and was hurtling toward bizarre.
She swung her widened gaze back to Howard and Rebecca. “Is that necessary?” she asked. “You’re adding an element of espionage to an already difficult task.”
A large part of her success at her job was her insistence on brutal honesty with her clients, a practice she’d embraced after emerging from a childhood of lies generated by her mother. She might spin stories for the media, but she always delivered the unvarnished truth to her clients. Always. She was often the only person who did.
Mike’s lips tightened. “Trust me, we’ve run out of other options.”
“We’ve always had faith in your abilities,” Rebecca said. “This wouldn’t be the time to make us question that belief.”
“My brother said your mother is a whore. She must be cheap, because you dress like shit.”
“Does your mother take food stamps? What about layaway?”
She blinked away the taunts from her childhood. She’d do whatever it took to ensure she’d never end up poor, used and disgraced like her mother.
“Consider it done.”
