Congrats on your new book! I follow you on Bookzon and saw it in my email this morning! How awesome is that?
Me
Wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
Julie
So, are you a big bad rich author now? Too much of a celebrity to hear me out on an idea?
Me
LOL. Hardly. Maybe one day but that day is not today. What’s up?
Julie
I have a job proposition for you.
Me
Perfect! Would I be working with you?
Julie
Yep!
Me
Oh, my God! I’m so in! Tell me more!
My eyes light up with excitement. “Shit! This is my lucky day!”
“What? Why?” Corrigan’s brows arch with curiosity. “What did she say?”
“She has a job prospect for me.”
“Yes!” Corrigan pumps her fist. “I knew something was going to work out for you! You deserve this!”
“So?” Scarlett says, gesturing with a winding hand. “What’s the job?”
“She didn’t say exactly. Just that I would be working with her again which I’m all for. Julie was the easiest boss and she really believed in me and my abilities.”
My phone dings again in my hand and I read the text immediately.
Julie
I got hired as the Chief Development Officer at Bayside Children’s! Which means you would basically have the same job you had as the Development Coordinator They said I could bring whoever I wanted for the job and you’re obviously my first choice!
“Bayside Children’s,” I murmur with a furrowed brow. I glance up at Corrigan. “Is there a Bayside Children’s in California?”
We watch and wait as Corrigan plugs the name into her phone and does a quick internet search. Then with a shake of her head she turns her phone around so I can see.
“Looks like Bayside Children’s is in Miami.”
“Florida?” I ask, my eyes bulging. “Miami, Florida?”
Corrigan nods, apprehensive. “Yeah.”
“Fuck.” I sit back against the booth, a million thoughts running through my mind.
