Even if he hasn’t set this up, you’ll run into him again, he’ll be here, he’ll –
“Adriana?” I looked up to see a woman standing in front of me. “Hi,” she said, her brown eyes kind. “I’m Michelle. Are you ready?”
I glanced down at the catalog, still open on my lap. I remembered how he’d shut me out, how horrible I’d felt yesterday on the flight home as Callum had acted like I was nothing more than a stranger. I remembered the sound of his voice as he talked on the phone, probably to a girlfriend. I thought of how just one night with him had shattered my heart.
Get out of here, Adriana. Go home.
But I was powerless.
I wanted this job even more now.
Not in spite of Callum.
But because of him.
I closed the catalog.
“Yes,” I said. “I’m ready.”
I gave Michelle a smile.
And then I stood up and followed her into her office.
