Chapter 86 The Other Side Of Belinda

• “No,” Belinda shakes her head vehemently. “That’s bullshit, or I would have heard about it already. Don’t believe a word Scott says. Not a single word! He’s like a snake in the tall grass of a playground. And he’s smart; he knows exactly what to say to get under your skin. He's done It to me before too.”
• I exhale deeply, the first real breath I’ve managed since I met Scott. He’s lying—mostly—about Roshana and Diego last night. She pats my shoulder, a strange and comforting gesture, something I would never expect from her. Maybe it’s her concern with the media, but today she’s being polite to me, seemingly unconcerned about whether I’m sleeping with the boss and trying to get fired for it. Or maybe we’ve done a good enough job of covering it up that she actually doesn’t suspect anything anymore.
• “Come on, we can’t let this derail everything. That’s what he wants—to make Diego look bad. We’re here to make him look good, and we have a lot of work to do before we can make sure that happens.”
