Allegra.
“You’re serious?” I asked, my voice dripping with excitement. My phone was pressed up against my ear as I lounged on the couch, a genuine smile playing on my lips.
“Yes,” Kimberly said, giving a sigh. “They’re interested. Do you know how many hoops I had to jump through? I should have asked for more than three percent.”
“Mhm, thank you, your highness,” I muttered sarcastically. Maybe Kimberly had some use after all. I couldn’t help but feel relieved. After our conversation last time, I’d been worried she wouldn’t be able to pull strings properly.
Now, I had my chance despite having that relatively inconvenient past. Kimberly replied, “You’re welcome. I’ve got things to do. A little less whining on your end, going forward, would be appreciated.” Then, she hung up.
Nope, still an annoying bitch. But one who would get me what I wanted, so I allowed myself to feel a little bit grateful.
