Shit, now I’m in trouble.
I have no idea how Ellie has the police officer’s number, but I can’t let her call him. He knows that I’ve lied, and there’s no way that he’s going to believe me now. God, I’m so dumb! What the hell was I thinking when I came up with that stupid raccoon story?
More than that, the cop has probably already interviewed Peter as well…and I’m willing to bet that Peter gave him a more credible version of events, no doubt about that.
No, I can’t let Ellie make that call.
Even if it means I have to swallow my pride.
“Fine,” I hiss, gritting my teeth so hard that my jaw starts to hurt. “I’ll get your damn internship back.”
She just smiles at me, a triumphant expression on her face. She’s about to say something when I turn around, heading straight toward Karen’s office. I might give Ellie the damn internship back, but I don’t have to suffer through her stupid victory speech.
“Am I interrupting?” I ask Karen as I poke my head into her office.
“No, not at all,” she smiles, looking up at me from her laptop. “Come on in, Ashley. What’s going on?”
“Remember yesterday?” I start hesitantly, trying to think of a way to broach the subject.
“Yeah, that whole thing with Ellie. But it’s fine now, she was reassigned.”
“That’s why I’m here,” I force myself to say, shifting my weight from one foot to the other. “I couldn’t sleep tonight, Karen. Despite what happened between Ellie and I…well, it got me thinking. I don’t want to be the kind of person that denies someone a shot at their dream job because of something personal.”
“What are you trying to say, Ashley?”
“I’d like Ellie to get her internship back, if that’s still possible,” I say, the words leaving a bitter taste on my mouth.
“I wasn’t expecting that,” she whistles, eyebrows arched as she leans in her chair. “Most people would be happy to see someone like Ellie out of their way. But this…well, it just proves you’re serious and committed about your responsibilities as Style Coordinator.”
“Does that mean…?”
“Yes,” she smiles. “I’ll give Ellie her internship back.”
