Ch4 ................. Q

When she closes the door, I slump onto the couch, taking my head in my hands.

That interview was a disaster !! It's going to be hell!

I only hope that Carter won't see the article before we get back to New York, otherwise, I'm not sure I'll get home in one piece ...

I can see tomorrow's headline from here: "A young girl thrown in mid air out of the famous billionaire, Ryan Carter's private jet."

Let's look at things on the funny side, it's an original way to die!

I decided to call Lisa to the rescue.

Lisa:"Hello?"

T:"It's me..."

Lisa:"Oooh, you don't sound too good! Did your interview go badly?"

(Awful!)

T:"If it went badly? That's an understatement ... I think I f****d up big time !"

Lisa:"Really?"

T:"Yeah ... The journalist kept asking me personal questions ... She wanted gossip ..."

Lisa:"What did you tell her?"

T:"I tried to be as vague as possible, but I let slip his nickname thing."

Lisa:"What? Ry?"

T:"Yeah..."

I hear my friend burst into laughter on the other end of the line.

T:"Stop it, it's not funny! Carter's gonna throttle me!"

Lisa:"It could be worse. It's not like you said he was foot fetish or anything."

T:"Yeah ... Whatever, he's not likely to be happy about it."

Lisa:"For which newspaper was it?"

T:"An online magazine, a people thing."

Lisa:"There's a little chance he'll see it ..."

(He sees everything.)

T:"Mmh ... We are talking about the guy who sees everything, who knows everything, who's everywhere at once ..."

Lisa:"Otherwise, is it going well?"

T:"Yes, everything was gong fine ... We're having a business lunch after and this afternoon, an appointment with a financial partner."

Lisa:"Okay ... Concentrate on the rest. You can't change what's happened."

Lisa and her usual pragmatism.

T:"Thank you, Lisa, I don't know what I'd do without you ..."

Lisa:"You'd do just fine, sweetie ..."

T:"I don't know ... I feel like a walking disaster."

I hear voices behind my friend.

Lisa:"Lydia isn't here today, so it's a bit of hectic here. I have to go !"

T:"Oh sorry, I won't hold you longer !!"

Lisa:"Anyway, remember to keep a happy face! Make the most of the rest of the day, okay?"

T:"Yes, Ma'am!"

Lisa:"I love it when you talk to me like that ..."

We both burst out laughing before saying goodbye.

When I hang up I feel a little reassured. After all, if Carter didn't want any slip-ups, he could have refused an interview for such a rag ...
