my God, you should have seen how many people were majoring in theatre.
 
 I mean, it was LA after all.”
 
 “I’m sure a lot of people go down there for that.” June really had no idea,
 
 but it sounded like the right thing to say. Just to agree.
 
 “I would have made a terrible actress, but I found that I had a passion for
 
 marketing. It took me until my second year to figure that out. I had to take a
 
 few marketing classes my first year, just introductory stuff and it was, I
 
 don’t know, I just really liked them. And I was good at them. I’ve always
 
 been artsy. I know no one knew that because I kind of never pursued
 
 anything but cheer, hair, makeup, clothes, and being a total bitch in high
 
 school, but yeah. I was always pretty good at drawing, and it turned out
 
 when I applied myself, I could understand concepts beyond basic math. It
 
 was a shocker for me.” She laughed easily
 
 June snuck a peek at Arabella. She was still looking forward, her eyes
 
 dark, burning coals. She was gorgeous, and so at ease with herself now. She
 
 was so, so different. All that beauty was lethal now that she was also nice,
 
 and her toxic personality didn’t poison it.
 
 Her hand dove into her hair again, rifling back the strands away from her
 
 face. June nearly groaned when she noticed Arabella’s chest rise and fall
 
 with the movement, her breasts creamy, the orbs overflowing her bikini top.
 
 Arabella turned fully, her hands grasping at her hair, plaiting the thick
 
 strands and spinning them into an effortless braid. “I want to say that I’m
 
 sorry I never figured out who I was in high school, and I took that out on a
 
 lot of people, especially you. Truly, I was the worst. I’m surprised you
 
 didn’t axe me that first day. I would have.”
 
 “I thought you might try to cause problems for me if I did that. Go to
 
 some media outlet and let them know what an ogre was running a company
 
 that was touted as doing good things.”
 
 One brow arched, but not angrily. It looked more playful than surprised.
 
 “That’s the only reason?”
