Sly As A Fox

Kelly's POV

"What's the problem?" I coldly asked Hayley after I reached the studio. She's now panicking. Her assistant called me saying there's a problem involving

Lexi, our new model and our professional make-up artist.

She swallowed hard. "Miss Monroe, Miss Lexi doesn't want to do the photoshoot today. She had an argument with our make-up artist and she insisted on finding a new one."

Pierce and I were in the middle of divorce proceedings, but cutting the bond between us wasn't as easy as it could have been, especially when we shared valued families and company.

I tried so hard to ignore what she said. I took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes. "Act like a professional, Lexi."

"I am professional, Kelly. I just don't like your stupid make-up artist."

shook my head and turned my back on her. I was about to leave when she spoke again... "Pierce knows this, you know? He allowed me to do whatever I wanted."
