“I don’t want a repeat of last year,” Allegra Ilic stated precisely.
Cherish clenched her jaw hard, her molars squeaking as she held the
black office phone up to her ear. The panic clawed its way up her throat and
made it next to impossible to speak. “I promise you, Ms. Ilic, we won’t
have a repeat of last year.”
Allegra huffed, not believing Cherish’s false promises. Cherish had
regretted the annual gala since the last one, which had been such a
catastrophe, but now with the pressure from Allegra breathing down her
neck, she knew she had to keep her boss in line. Which was easier said than
done.
“It was a disaster,” Allegra hissed.
“I understand, Ms. Ilic.” Cherish swallowed hard. She remembered all
too vividly exactly the shitshow that her boss had created and the fools she
had made of all of them. Cherish was ninety-eight-point-seven percent sure
that if Allegra Ilic could leave Febe Aarts out of the gala, she would. But
Febe’s presence was required. So here they were. Exchanging threats and
placations over the phone. “I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
“You better. Because if we don’t get the funding this year, we won’t
survive another.”
Cherish’s stomach plummeted. That wasn’t a threat. It was the truth.
Cherish had seen the numbers, and the Holbrook Foundation was
floundering. But she hated bringing it up to Febe. It was such an awful
reminder of—
“We need this to work. We have heavy hitting donors coming in for this
spectacular event, and we need them to spend their money, not share
gossip,” Allegra snipped like this was something they should all know and
understand by this point.
“I’ll make sure Ms. Aarts behaves.” If only Cherish believed the words
spilling from her lips.
Allegra snorted. “I’m not sure that’s possible, but at least keep her
contained.”
Cherish’s hand shook as she sent a second call to Haylee’s phone. She
glanced up, making eye contact with Febe’s second personal assistant to
make sure she knew to answer it. Haylee rolled her eyes, but she picked up
the phone anyway.
“I’ve got it in the calendar. Thank you. I look forward to seeing the
formal invitation.” Cherish shoved the phone onto the holder as Allegra’s
objection rose through the line. She couldn’t take any more of it. Febe was
hurting. Anyone within a mile radius of her should be able to see that
clearly. And last year wasn’t her fault.
Fact.
Haylee hung up and cringed. “She wants to see me.”
“Then you better get in there.” Cherish stared at her computer, entering
the date of the gala into her personal calendar so that Febe wouldn’t see it.
She didn’t need Febe to be more upset than she already would be. The gala
brought up too many horrifying memories.
For both of them
