Chapter Fourty Nine
“But, yes, I do need to travel to Seattle and tie up some things. I plan to spend some time in San Francisco but over the next few months I need to make arrangements so I would be traveling less and spending more time here.” he added.
Her heart sped up. Did he mean he was making those arrangements to spend more time in New York so he could be near her?
She hated guessing, but she hated assuming even more. She was still uneasy about the timing of them seeing each other. It was too close to when he’d signed on with Standard Gate.
“I’ll be back Monday afternoon. I want to spend the evening with you. Dinner.
Dancing. You can stay over at the hotel and my driver will take you into work on Tuesday.” he said.

Wendy put her hands over her face. “I was stupid, Camille. I knew how this was going to turn out. I knew what was going to happen if I did this and I went through with it anyway. I was stupid, and now I have to pay the price.” She said.The sound of someone clearing their throat had Wendy looking up toward the door. Evan Banks stood there, an indecipherable expression on his face.“Camille,” he said. “Would you leave me and Wendy for a moment?” he said.“Of course,” Camille murmured as she hurried away.Tears burned Wendy's eyes. She was holding on by a sheer thread.“Want to talk about it?” Evan asked her.It was that question that did it for Wendy. If he’d been angry or if he’d been indifferent, she could have handled it, but the simply worded request broke her down. Her shoulders shook, and she lowered her head as a sob welled from her throat. It appalled

She had to do the one thing she'd known she'd have to do but had been postponing it. Now was the time.The rest of the day was spent sequestered in her office. She only spoke to Rebecca to tell her she wasn’t accepting any calls and the rest of the time she spent in brooding silence.At five, she stared out the window, watching as her coworkers left the building. She purposely waited until everyone else had left before she locked up her office for the night.Though it was well past seven, she dragged herself down six flights of stairs just on the off chance any stragglers were in the elevator. She was pathetic and spineless but she didn’t care. She’d face them all when she had some semblance of control over her emotions.She drove to her apartment with her fingers curled tightly around the wheel. She battled bouts of fury and the impulse to break down into tears. By the time she reached home, she was men

He turned and stalked toward the door. He flung it open and caught it with one hand, turning as he stepped out.“If you change your mind later, don’t bother to come crawling back. I think you’ve made it abundantly clear what I’m good for...where I stand in your lifeAnd I really am done with this.”The door slammed, and Wendy's heart shattered into tiny little pieces. She stared numbly, hoping, expecting that he’d come back and tell her they could work things out, that he understood, that he’d wait.Minutes passed, and the sickening realization hit her that he wasn’t coming back.Not only had she lost her reputation, and possibly her career, but she’d lost the one man she loved enough to have risked it all in the first place.--------------------------Tuesday morning, Wendy took the coward’s way out and called Evan Banks to schedule vacation time for the res

Victor nodded his agreement. James, who was a lot more tuned in to just what bad press could do to a career and reputation, was a lot more subdued. Concern flared in his eyes when she got to the explanation of the article and blog.“That sucks,” James said.Wendy nodded. “Tell me about it.”“So where does this Damon Paige person fit in?” her dad asked. “I mean, there seems to be a big piece missing here. You were pretending to be his fiancée and this paper prints stuff about you, and you said he’s angry because he thinks you think he’s your dirty little secret. Am I missing something?”She sighed. “I’m in love with him, Dad. And now he hates me.” She said.All four men’s mouths rounded into Os.There was marked silence, and she regretted having blurted out that fact. Love was girly stuff, and none of the men looked like they had a clue what to say or do next.“Look

She knew she'd said the wrong thing immediately the words left her mouth, but she didn't care. She was too angry to care."What exactly is your problem, Red?" Damon asked angrily. "Are you mad at me about something? That's weird, because if there was someone between the both of us who should be angry right now, it's me. So what the hell is wrong with you?""Excuse me?" Wendy said."Yeah that's right. You heard me." Damon hissed. "What's wrong with you? You have absolutely no right to be going about making comments like that when you are the one that ended things with me. You are the one who fucking walked away""Me? Ended what exactly?" Wendy yelled at him. "I didn't end anything. You did. I simply said that I wanted some time to figure things out. I said I needed space. You are the one who could even at least try to be considerate. You just want things to go your way all the damn time. You just try to bully me to g

"Oh really. Well do you understand my side... Or is it just hers?" Damon asked.Debbie shook her head. "Look, I understand the both of you. I really do. And I honestly don't want to pick sides. So whatever this is, can you guys just find a way fix it. You don't even have to love or like each other. You just have to find a way to be around each other without fighting. Or else it's going to be a problem, and then before we know it, someone can't take it anymore and decides to leave. I don't want to lose any one of you""Well, I don't think we are ready to be around each other now" Damon said."And I agree" Wendy replied, giving him a look like she wanted to kill him."Yep, definitely a bad idea to talk about this" Debbie said to herself, when she saw they they weren't even making any effort to listen to her and stop arguing.Damon grabbed his phone which he had kept on the tabl
THE CEO'S CONTRACT ENGAGEMENT Chapter Fifty Six
A relationship with the CEO had been quickly revealed, and Wendy had been named in the divorce proceedings between the CEO and his wife.

His stomach churned, and he felt the urge to go vomit.His gaze caught the latest issue of Advertising Media. Fresh off the press and delivered just this morning. It was just as Wendy had said. The announcement was there for the world to see, but it was tainted by those photos....and people were still talking about it even a week later.

Camille touched her arm."Yeah I read that too" she said. "And you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to"Wendy shook her head. "Actually I do. I'm ready to talk about it. I think that I have kept it in too long. It was my big secret and one of the reasons why this hurt so much was because I have been trying really hard to keep it hidden... Because I was ashamed of myself, I was trying so hard to prove something to my dad and I didn't want Damon to know about it because I was scared that he would see me differently... Like a horrible person"She shook her head, like she was trying to shake away the bad memories, picked up her glass and finished the contents with a gulp and asked for her glass to be refilled. After it was refilled she continued."So my dad has always wanted me to work at his company. I know he loves me but he can be really overprotective... Even my brothers sometimes too.
