“I’d love to,” I sigh, biting down on my lip as I hear my stomach roiling. “But I really can’t. I’m already late for work, and today’s going to be a big day. I don’t want to be late.”
“Miss Style Coordinator, right?” he smiles from the other side of the kitchen island, the way his eyes seem to shine almost making me reconsider the choice I’ve just made.
“Right,” I nod. “And I want to start the day with the right foot.”
“I’m sure you’ll do that and then some more.”
“Of course she will,” Monica says as she strolls into the kitchen, her hair completely disheveled. “Ashley is going to take names and kick ass. Like always.”
“I wish I could be as confident as you are,” I tell her with a laugh. She just looks at me and smiles, a yawn creeping up on her lips.
“Are you sure you don’t want to take the day off? I mean, after what happened yesterday, it might be a good—
“No,” I cut her short. “I think it’ll be good for me. I need to get my mind off Peter, and there’s nothing better for that than to get busy. There’s a lot of stuff I need to catch up on, now that I have a new position, and on top of it I think my boss is going to assign me an intern.”
“Oh, an intern? You’re all grown up now, huh?” Ben asks me, setting a plate in front of his sister as she takes her seat. “Are you sure you don’t want to have a bite?”
“No, thank you,” I smile for the last time, already turning on my heels to head for the bathroom. “I’m just going to take a quick shower and then head straight for work.”
“You can stay another night too,” Monica tells me as I cross the doorway. I stop there, look back at her over my shoulder, and nod. Another night in a place like this, surrounded by friends, wine and good food…it might just be what I need.
“Thank you, Monica.”
“Always.”
Forty minutes later and I’m rushing through the main floor of my office building, heading toward Karen’s corner office. I glance at my wristwatch, sighing in relief as I realize that I’m just in time.
“Good morning,” I greet Karen, who’s sitting behind her desk, and a blonde woman that has her back turned to me—my intern, I suppose. “I’m not late, am I? I came here as fast as…” The rest of my sentence dies in my throat as the woman standing in Karen’s office turns to face me.
“Ashley,” Karen starts, “this is Ellie. She’s going to be your intern.”
I’m too stunned to say anything.
She’s the woman I caught Peter with.
Judging by the expression on Ellie’s face, she wasn’t expecting to see me here either. “Ashley,” she starts, her voice fraught with tension. “Can we have a word in private?”
