CHAPTER ONE
Lauren
âAND I WANT YOU, Lauren, to cover the story.â
âExcuse me, Iâm sorry, what?â I paused my notes to meet my editorâs stare, stifling the groan that wanted to pop from my mouth. Truthfully, I was only half listening during this morningâs staff meeting, but what little Iâd heard wasnât exactly flipping my interest switch.
ââHottest Bachelor in Town.â I want you to write it,â Patrice answered, tapping her manicured finger against the slick tabletop. âPay attention, please.â
I didnât say the actual word, but my expression clearly said blech, and Patrice Winneham, executive editor of Luxe magazine, wasnât known for her willingness to hear objections. âProblem?â she asked with a layer of frost blanketing her tone.
The last thing I wanted to write was some frivolous article on New Yorkâs most eligible and, more important, rich bachelors, but I needed my job. âNo problem,â I lied through my teeth. By now it shouldâve become second nature, but it still curdled my guts to pretend to care about stories that held no bearing on actual life.
Like the world needed another spread on complete and utter nonsense. The longer I worked for Luxe, the more I was certain I would be required to turn in my feminist card because of crap assignments like this.
Who knew the going rate for a piece of your soul is the bargain-basement price of rent on a shitty apartment in Brooklyn. From my peripheral I caught our newest and youngest staffer nearly wetting herself to land this gig, and I readily threw her a bone.
