| I should tell you something |
Wes
stopped short of the stairs, pulling Janet back.
“What’s
wrong?” she said. “I have to go. The car’s waiting for me.”
“I
know, but I think I should tell you something,” he said, looking worried.
Her
eyes widened as they always do when she expects bad news. “Don’t you dare, Wes!
Don’t you dare tell me you’re not going, cuz I will kill you!”
He
shook his head. “I’m going, but…I never did tell you who my client was and why
the project was so important and why it had to be done tonight.”
“I
thought the deadline was Monday?”
“Got
moved up.”
“And
you’re not done?” she shrieked.
“I am done…sort of.
Thing is, I have to work tonight…at the gala.”
“What?!?!”
“The
website is for… it’s the official Luke Tramaine website, a fan page I guess
we’re calling it.”
Janet’s
mouth fell open. “Luke didn’t tell me about that!”
“Course
not…since he doesn’t know about it…yet,” Wes said, bracingly.
