A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING (SHEPHERD)
Some people just don’t know how to keep things simple.
I lean back with a scowl that’s melting my face, the executive
leather chair creaking under me as I watch the latest sludge interview on my
tablet.
My blood pressure is already surging to levels that will make my doctor
yell at me.

Some people do not know how to keep things fucking simple.
We were business associates. Professionals.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Vanessa Dumas promised me from day one of this stupid arrangement
that she was unfussy. Uncomplicated. Oh so easy to work with.
She was, to the best of my knowledge, a smart woman with an eye for
strategy who understood our mutual potential to lend each other a hand.
Yeah.
Everything I thought I knew was dead wrong.
She doesn’t know the meaning of the word professional.
On the screen, it’s the typical gaudy crap. The interview room is plush
with a red sofa and white walls and a hostess with a giddy smile like she’s
just walked onto the set after three shots of vodka.
The blonde hostess—Martha Rubina—is clearly doing her damnedest to
prevent age from stampeding all over her face with plumped lips and an
artificially tight forehead.
Opposite her, Vanessa has made a special effort for this spectacle.
Curling her hair, wearing too much stoplight-red lipstick.
She licks her lips as her gaze flicks at the camera and then away
nervously.
Fake nervously.
“So, can you tell us how it all started with Shepherd Foster?” Martha
asks, leaning forward like Vanessa’s answer is the most interesting thing
since Al Gore invented the internet.
It’ll be a lie, of course.
I’ve read the headlines.
Not that good old Martha will mind.
She wants a story, viral links, and water cooler talk for the next week,
and Vanessa knows how to deliver.
“Oh,” Vanessa says breathily. A voice she never bothered using with me
when she knew that airy, giggly shit wasn’t my thing.
Hell, she knew she wasn’t my thing.
Our ‘relationship’ was a casual forgery from day one—I made that clear
from the outset.
I needed a plus-one to shut up the press and fend off swarms of real
single women.
She needed a lifeline with my connections, and the networking at the
various events I’m obliged to attend were perfect. Preferably without a
thousand nasty rumors swirling in my wake.
I thought I had a woman on my arm who would dissuade the real gold
diggers and shit-rakers from the tabloids, and she had her chance to send
her career into the stratosphere.
Win-win—or so I thought.
I even covered all the damn expenses. Couture designer gowns, ego
slaying shoes, glittery handbags big enough to swallow an elephant, the
works.
The entire steaming enchilada.
No, she wasn’t getting me, but I was never on the table. Dating is the
last fucking thing on my list of experiences, right next to eating fried
wombat and a nice bout of hantavirus.
When I laid my cards out, I made that perfectly clear.
Vanessa knew precisely what she was getting into. With me, it’s always
strictly business.
Absolutely no romance
