... a married man, and there are plenty of others out there who would do the same." Christine ran from the room crying, leaving Scott bemused, he had tried hard to say the right thing and upset her all over again. He called Maureen to come over before he made things even worse. Maureen had a long chat with Christine, afterwards Scott asked how things were and apologised if he'd upset her. "Yeah she is better, she's not used to men being nice to her... especially her hero." "Hero, no way! Shit I didn't mean to suggest... you know I wouldn't." "Relax Scott, I know you wouldn't and neither would she, but be careful: I am not sure she realises it yet but she has quite a crush on you. It's not just last night, it's how you are with Chloe and your support of Shannon." "I'm sorry, I had no idea, I'll keep things professional and distant." "Probably for the best, she is confused, I'll keep talking to her as well." *** It was Christine who sheepishly gave Scott the society magazine and told him to look inside. There was a small article about the a gala including photographs, one of which showed Shannon holding hands with and kissing Claude. Fuck! The kiss caught in the background of another shot. Scott tried calling Shannon immediately, she didn't answer. He got another number through her company and one of her entourage answered: "It's Shannon Williams' husband, I need to speak to her urgently." "I am sorry Ms Williams is currently ...

Scott got a call back, "Hold for Ms Williams." He hung up! They called again, "This is Ms William's Personal Assistant, can you hold for Ms Williams please." "What's your name?" "Sorry." "What is your name?" "It's Stephanie, Stephanie Rochefort." "Well tell your boss Stephanie, that I am not a business contact, if she wants to speak to her husband, she can either answer her private phone or deem to put the huge effort into ringing me herself." "You mean, you're not holding." "Correct Stephanie, I am not." Scott ended the call, ten minutes later the phone rang again, it was Shannon. "I am honoured to be finally talking to the boss and not one of your minions." "Don't be like that Scott, things are manically busy." "Yeah, you have time for everything but me. Tell you what Ms Williams it doesn't matter." Scott ended the call and ignored the following call. Finally he read her text, "Is everything ok, is Chloe well?" "Yes Chloe is fine, but everything is far from OK. You might want to check lifestyle magazine to see why I needed to talk to you." The phone rang Scott ignored it and the five calls that followed. Then he received her message, "That was nothing, it was a quick kiss goodnight, just a peck, the photo looks far worse than it is, we have a professional relationship, please ...
