Wicked Ties Chapter 2

[b ]“Vega opted to scream into the microphone with the intensity of an alley cat on LSD- “ “Vega dresses like an overly emotional teenager- “ “His greatest achievement is getting blonde bimbos to fall for his tortured act- “ “A living breathing STD- “[/b] Steven stopped reading the quotes and looked up at her, “Laura, what the hell were you thinking?” Laura shrugged. “You tell me. You’re the one who decided to print it.” Steven chuckled. “You’re damn right I printed it. I’ll admit you didn’t so much write about the concert as used 2000 words to slaughter Derek Vega’s character, but it’ll sell like hot cakes.” Laura smirked. Score. After the embarrassing ordeal that was their one night stand. Laura had been hell-bent on getting some good old-fashioned vengeance. Even after the dust had settled for a week, she still couldn’t believe him. He’d fallen asleep. Asshole. She didn’t understand what had happened to her. Why the hell had she slept with him? She could blame the tequila all she wanted, but deep down, she knew she’d wanted it. At least she was on the pill. She stifled a groan, not wanting Steven, a professional gossip, to find out any more than he should. “When are we getting the preliminary numbers for the circulation?” Laura asked. “Sometime next week.

I know the tabloid industry isn’t perhaps the best fit for you, but we just need to find you suitable pieces like this one.” Laura couldn’t help the tiny smile that broke out on her face. “I don’t think another story like this is going to magically fall into my lap, but I appreciate the vote of confidence.” Steven looked uncomfortable and smiled at her awkwardly. “Yeah, about that…” She was beyond suspicious now. Steven had always been like a father figure to her, ever since she first started at Glitterati. He was never scared to give her critique or tell things to her straight. What was so ...
