Piper
I don’t even try to stifle a yawn as Ethan Flynn continues to rant about
his latest achievement in signing the new it client, Henri ‘The Wall’ Girard,
to his agency—and my agency’s biggest competitor—ProStar Athlete
Representation.
Unable to shake my boredom away, my fingers begin to tap impatiently
against my champagne flute, needing to divert my attention to anything else
than listen to another second of his self-celebratory speech.
But Ethan doesn’t make it easy for me or his chosen audience to drift
their focus off him. The volume of his boisterous voice seems to increase
and become more animated as he rambles on, claiming to have surpassed all
his agency’s expectations with such a coveted signing, resembling a peacock
flaunting its feathers. My mind begs to wander, desperately yearning for an
escape from his self-centered monologue. Still, it seems that I haven’t been
oohing and aahing on cue like he expected, urging him to remedy that fact
by calling me out on it.
“You’re awfully quiet, Piper. I hope that my success story hasn’t
intimidated you into taking a vow of perpetual silence,” he teases, hiding his
slight smirk from the rest of the small group of people around us by taking a
sip of his champagne.
“Oh, you know what they say? If it’s not nice, then why say it? Silence is
golden after all,” I goad back mockingly. “Though it’s a shame how the
virtue is lost on some people. Not everyone is so self-aware to know that
sometimes silence is preferable to the sound of their own voice.”
Though his beard covers most of it, no amount of facial hair could
completely hide the burning crimson now tinging his cheeks.
“Point taken,” he retorts gruffly after making a show of clearing his
throat. “I guess I did get a little carried away telling everyone about how I
managed to sign Henri to ProStar. But then again, I always heard that a
person should celebrate their wins, no matter how small. Though, let’s call a
spade a spade. Every agency in the country was salivating to get him to sign
on the dotted line. I must have done something right for him to prefer my
agency’s representation and not, say, ESA’s. So excuse me if I enjoy the
moment a little longer. It’s not every day I get one past the great and talented
Piper Lee.”
It takes everything in me not to roll my eyes at the cocky bastard.
We get it.
You’re that good.
But guess what?
So am I.
I just don’t feel the need to tell everyone and gloat about it.
I’ll admit to one thing, though. Ethan does have one advantage over me
—he can spend this whole night mingling with everyone in the room,
bragging about how great a sports agent he is, and no one would think less of
him for it.
A man boasting about his accomplishments is to be expected.
But if a woman does it, they are either perceived as being too full of
themselves or so insecure that they need to broadcast their achievements just
to fulfill so
