Chapter 87
The voice on the other end was nothing but deferential
“Hat You Hittle Tramp roping in some stooge to play along with your little art What’s the going rate for that These days? Or did you just scrape up some sleazy golo to fill in mocked Lydia venomously
Asher face went stone cold on the other end. Someone insulted the Foster Groups princess? That was a one–way ticket to trouble
Mies, did you run into some kind of mess over there? Need me to come over with backup? Asher was all
business
“No need for the cavalry, but there is something else you could help me with replied Evangeline calmly
Asher braced himself for what might be a complicated request, but he was ready. “Miss, just lay it on me. Even if it’s Foster Group business, I’m on it
No, that’s not it. Remember how I axed that endorsement deal for the newbie, Julia, with our company? Ive heard that Gordon Group went behind my back and set her up with Brighton Media. Give them a ring and let them know I just don’t vibe with Julia Tell them to drop the deal.
“And while you’re at it, see if she’s got any other media gigs and nix those too. Oh, and my dad? The guy’s not even retired yet, but he’s already cashing in on his perision, living the high life. Have someone dig into that, will you?”
“Don’t sweat it. It’s no biggie, miss I’ll get it sorted out in no time,” Asher replied, relieved it was not something more serious that had him all worked up for nothing
Evangeline’s face relaxed as she ended the call
Julia sneered, “Wow, you’re quite the actress, even phoning up Brighton Media. You do realize they’re owned by Gordon Group, right? Who do you think you are, trying to screw up my job?”
James wiped down the table’s edge with a wet wipe, leaned back, and started fiddling with his phone With Evangeline having called Asher, he did not have to worry.
