Anna stares at me as I cross the room and place my bag on my desk. I choose up my espresso mug. Her eyes bore holes in me till I look as much as meet her intense gaze.

I frown. “Is the whole lot okay, Anna?”

My abdomen flips as her brows knit. Rigidity creeps into my shoulders—the silence is unnerving.

“What’s it? Has one thing occurred?”

She nods slowly.

“For God’s sake, Anna. Simply inform me what it’s. It will probably’t be that dangerous.” Can it?

“You’re on TMZ,” she says.

Huh? “What’s that?”

Anna wrinkles her nostril. “You don’t know what TMZ is and also you’re relationship Alex Stone? It’s a celeb information website.”

My coronary heart sinks. “What?”

“Come and take a look.”

It’s a photograph from a day final week. I picked up Casey from day care and we began to stroll residence solely to search out Alex ready for us within the park with a giant smile on his face as he’d completed for the day.

There’s me on one aspect, Alex on the opposite, and my chest squeezes on the sight of Casey within the center. She’s staring up at Alex, awe written throughout her face.

“What’s this website?”

“I can’t consider you don’t know.” Anna crosses her arms. “It’s simply one of many largest leisure websites on the earth.”

My throat tightens. “Actually?”

“Are you okay, Lana? You’ve gone actually pale.”

I stagger again, seize maintain of my workplace chair and sit down. “How massive are we speaking?”

She shrugs. “Thousands and thousands of viewers. I’m unsure how massive it’s right here, but it surely’s big within the States. It says he’s having a giant romance whereas he’s right here, and so they’re speculating about how your daughter is expounded to him. In all probability as a result of the identical factor occurred to Josh Carter and that turned out to be his daughter.”

Anna retains speaking, however I change off. Nausea sweeps me. I didn’t need consideration, and I informed Alex that. I assumed he knew what he was speaking about when he mentioned we’d keep away from it right here and that his profession wasn’t large enough to draw it.

And but right here all of us are on an internet site. I don’t even know what the story hooked up to it says but. I suppose technically it’s right—so far as I’m involved, Alex and I’ve been falling in love. However the very last thing I need is Casey plastered everywhere in the Web.

I bury my face in my arms.

Click on.

I do know that sound.

Gareth’s workplace door squeaks as he pulls it open, and he’s the final particular person I really feel like dealing with at present. I ponder if it’s too late to drag a sicky.

“Lana. May you please be a part of me in my workplace? I need to provide the standards for some reviews I want.”

The door closes with a click on.

Positive. No matter.

Slowly, I rise from my seat. If he needs to speak to me in regards to the web site Anna’s simply proven me, no less than I’m ready for it. Although, provided that I haven’t actually processed it but, I’m unsure what my response can be.

Anna screws up her face. “Good luck. I understand how a lot work you do on these reviews. As when you want extra.”
