I would have stolen every available customer!
As well as the artistic director!
"Do you know why the creative director left?" I asked.
"I dont know that. I only caught part of the conversation while serving lunch to a group of agency employees when I was working at Prestige.
"What you've just revealed to me is extremely important and profitable, if used to my advantage."
"I know."
"Who else did you give this information to?"
"Nobody," she answered sincerely. Even though I wanted to save it for the next job interview at the Keith Company. That is if I pass the first round of interviews. They've had my resume for four days now, but they never called me back. "
"I doubt they will."
"I think so too," she snorted in surrender, curling a lock of hair around her finger, as she did when she was nervous and worried.
It was unthinkable that such a clever woman in the marketing and administrative sector had been rejected during the preselection.
I had worked alongside her for six years and knew how smart and determined she was.
"What do you want in return, for you not to spread this news?"
"You want exclusive rights, if I understand correctly."
"Exactly. This is business. "
Audrey looked at me for a long time and with a strange intensity. She was the only one who could look at me like that.
That was how I fell in love with her.
In love
I was not simply in love.
I was literally crazy about her.
So much so, that I could not think of anything but her.
I had to clench my fists not to touch her and get closer to her, with a sudden desire to kiss her.
'In return, I'm only asking for a little kindness. I do not want to revive the past and repeat for the umpteenth time the reasons for our separation are not what you think. I just want to start over and take over the reins of my life. "
