“So, let’s find someone else.”

“Agreed.
 
I’m having lunch with RRK tomorrow.
 
If it falls apart, how do you feel Ted Frostman at Chase?”

“I like Ted,” she said.
 
“He’s a good guy.
 
Think he’ll play?”

“Maybe.
 
And God knows he owes us.
 
I’ll set up a meeting with him.”

“Are we good here?" she said.
 
"I’d like to go home.”

George looked at her in surprise.
 
“Home?
 
Are you all right?”

If she told him what had happened, it would ruin his evening.

“Today was pretty intense,” she said.
 
“And I’m feeling every bit of it.”
 
She looked over the crowd.
 
“The party will wind down soon.
 
I’ve spoken to everyone I needed to speak to.
 
If you don’t mind, I’d like to call it a day.”

It was pouring when she left Redman International. Those members of the press who hadn’t been invited inside immediately started taking her picture.
 
She nodded at the short, white-haired doorman standing beneath the canopied entrance and together, they hurried toward the limousine parked at the curb.

The press followed, recording her exit for the world.
 
Lights popped.
 
She stepped into the back of the car, told the driver to get her out of there and was home fifteen minutes later, packing Eric’s belongings.
