“You've done well for yourself, Mr. Quick.”
Megan's eyes traveled lazily across Rocky's figure. The arrogance in his eyes was plain to see.
He no longer looked like the struggling lad she had known before. The only thing that remained was his prideful demeanor.
“That's nothing compared to your achievements, Ms. Rockford. You're one of the most popular stars these days. Why, you're even giving Mia a run for her money! Your abilities are truly extraordinary.”
Rocky had kept his eyes glued to his phone throughout their entire exchange. He had not glanced at Megan even once since walking through the door.
Megan smirked at his behavior. His arrogance is understandable. After all, he went from a nobody to an absolute big shot. I can put up with it as long as he's not going to be an *ss about it, though he's really testing my patience now.
Megan pushed aside the items cluttering her coffee table. She narrowed her eyes at him. The harsh lighting in the living room only served to accentuate the serious expression on her face.
She said, “I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need you to dig out a scandal on Melissa Cohen.”
“Melissa Cohen?”
Rocky paused in the middle of his phone game. He lifted his head and frowned at Megan.
“If you're begging me to break a scandal, why must you pick some C-list celebrity? It's going to
hurt my reputation.”
Megan's expression hardened at Rocky's complaint.
Glaring at him, she was unimpressed by his pompous behavior.
I'm begging him? His head must be in the clouds thanks to those scandal-fearing celebrities! Well, he's going to have to wait a long time if he expects me to beg!
