I immediately felt my heart sink and, without another word to Selina or Moana, I called the tabloid straight away.

So, I did what the CEO asked and immediately drove over to his office.

When I arrived, he was waiting for me in his dinky little corner office. It was honestly laughable to me that I had to meet a weasel like this in person.
