to jump into the unknown with me, after all it could mean career suicide. 
    “I know it’s a risk, but trust me - this is a great opportunity. You would be working with a band signed by a major label, there will be concerts, working with promoters, countless media outlets... think of the experience. The two of us would be amazing and I am not going to micromanage you. This is a chance for you to spread your wings, show the world what you’re made of. You won’t get an opportunity like this at your current company, you know it. If they did land an account like this, one of the senior partners would take it. All I’m asking is that you give me six months, if you hate it, I’ll write you one killer letter of recommendation and I’ll even help you find you a job elsewhere.”
    Everything I said was true, it would be an amazing opportunity and I knew that after heading up a PR account like Power Station he would be able to get a job anywhere. All he had to do was take a chance. I paused as I waited for his response.
    “You make it difficult for a man to say no to you, don’t you?” Matt chuckled
    “Let’s just say I know how to get what I want.” I smirked, knowing he was giving it some serious consideration.
    “Why don’t I email you an offer and you can give it some thought. I’ll give you a call later on today. Ok?”
    “Ok Lexi, I learned early on not to argue with you. I’ll leave that up to your Rock Star boyfriend.” Matt chortled.
    “Whatever wise-ass! Talk soon” I teased and I ended the call.
    “Well?” questioned Alex, his body relaxing as he unfolded his arms.
    “I think he can be convinced.” I smiled, running my hand over his exposed chest.
    “Yes, you can be very convincing,” Alex grinned as he shook his head.
    “Alex, I want Matt to stay here, with me and I want to know that’s ok with you. I have a spare room and this place is huge, besides half the time I’m at your apartment anyway. I just don’t want there to be any misunderstandings like last time.” I looked into his striking blue eyes.
    “Lexi, I trust you. Besides if you were going to be with him I’m guessing you would have done that by now. I like Matt, he seems like a decent guy and I’m appreciative that he looks out for you.” Alex pulled me in to his arms and brushed his lips across mine.
    “So you are ok with it?” I asked a little surprised. I had half expected there to be an argument after all not many men would be happy with their girlfriends shacking up with another guy, especially one who looked like Matt.
    “Are you going to fuck him?” Alex mumbled as he continued to kiss me.
    “No, of course not!” I hissed.
    “Then I have nothing to be concerned about, do I?” he reasoned.
    “No, you don’t,” I asserted.
    “Good, now let’s go eat. Some pain in the ass bitch has scheduled a 9 a.m. meeting,” Alex smirked.
    “Yeah I have a 9 a.m. meeting too with a bunch of moody musicians, one who is acting like an asshole.” I beamed as I followed him into the kitchen.
    Alex leaned up against the doorway gesturing for me to enter.
    “Bitch .” Alex coughed into his hand, amused as I walked past.
    “Asshole .” I grinned as I returned the greeting.
    So I’m guessing this is what domestic bliss felt like...huh?

Chapter 4 – Boardrooms and Baked Goods
    I straightened the skirt on my Marc Jacobs dress as I stood up in front of the large black rectangular table. My audience was seated around it in elegant leather desk chairs. Chris was to my right, looking immaculate as usual. Her vintage woollen pale pink Chanel suit was complemented perfectly by a pair of pale pink pumps. Her Mont Blanc pen was poised as she watched her personal assistant, Monique, distribute folders.
    James was attentive as always, although looking a little more weary than usual. He sipped his take-away coffee quietly as he looked over the folder he had in front of him. Alex was seated to my left, directly next to James. His smile
