He chuckled and asked, “Do you want to keep it low–key or make a big fuss?” 

“Make a big fuss,” I replied without hesitation. 

“Leave it to me,” Jack nodded, helping me into the car. Drive safely and call me if anything comes up.” 

His voice was clear and gentle, possessing a magical calmness that could soothe.

Nancy fell silent for a moment. I understood. “You don’t like Jessica much, What did she promise you? A promotion or a raise?” 

“Neither.” She suddenly raised her head, a hint of madness in her eyes. “She said she would introduce me to my idol! She said although she and my idol aren’t close, she’s willing to help me make a connection.”
