and continued to do their jobs.
    “There is also this.” Harry opened a folder and handed her several pieces of paper clipped together at the top.
    Emma scanned the papers, and all the air flew out of her lungs. “This is a joke.”
    “No. The money is part of what they deem your bonus for this year and also your share of the last deal you completed.” Harry flipped the page to show her the details.
    Emma worked hard at Hunt. Not for the money or any of the so-called perks, but because she loved how much her work made a difference. She never imagined herself making more than ten figures a year, but her bank account proved she did. The amount detailed in the paperwork stated upwards of eight figures.
    “What am I going to do with all this?” She swayed in her seat at the thought of managing so much money.
    “Get a life. Take a vacation.” Harry moved from his chair and sat next to her. “Since you want to do this thing with Russell, and the whole deal is time sensitive, you won’t get a real vacation anytime soon. Promise me you will schedule some time for yourself to relax. You can start having girl’s night with Annie and Nell again. They both miss you.”
    “I miss them too. I’ll think about it.” She let her head rest on Harry’s shoulder. “I need to pack up my place in LA.”
    “Take Dad with you. He needs a little breather. The trip would be good for both of you.”
    “I think you’re right.”

    “Emma,” Aaron answered with hope in his voice.
    “I can start Wednesday of next week.” She bit down on her lower lip in an attempt to keep her nerves at bay.
    “Excellent,” he sighed in apparent relief. “I’d like to keep you a surprise until the broadcast the following Monday in Boston. We can get together and sign the contracts on Wednesday.”
    “Sounds perfect. I’ll email you a few change requests. I’m heading out to LA with my dad to pack up my apartment. I’ll be staying with him while I’m not traveling, at least for a while.” The whole conversation seemed so surreal to her. She never imagined her life turning out this way.
    “Safe travels. We’ll meet at my office Wednesday morning. I will leave a pass with the front desk. I don’t think the press will suspect anything since you’ve come to my office before.”
    “What about the wrestlers and the rest of the staff?” She hoped to come into as little discord as possible.
    “I want them to be surprised too. We will be airing several segments on the show and online with the wrestlers and commentators speculating on whom they think should be the new GM. They all think you’ll be someone inside the company.” He released a hardy laugh. “Oh, think how surprised they will be.”
    “I’m excited to meet everyone. People are so different when the cameras turn off. You understand the cameras will follow me until the end of next month?”
    “Not a problem. By the way, you need to start thinking about your entrance music.”
    “Entrance music?” Aaron and all the wrestlers entered to specific music, but not Curtis Sharp.
    “Yes, you deserve a little flair whenever you appear.”
    The perfect song came to her instantly. “What about the Nerdy Girl Nation theme song? I’m sure we can get permission to use it.” Garrett wrote the song specifically for his show, but she was sure he would be honored for her to use the song to make her entrances.
    “Brilliant. You think Garrett Green will keep his trap shut until your big reveal?”
    “Yes, he’s actually a fantastic guy.”
    “If you say so. With you in my corner, he might lay off me.”
    “Sure thing, Boss.”
    “I love the sound of that.”
    “Get used to it.” A wide smile spread across her face. She made the right decision.

    The ding of Rob's cell phone alerted him to a new email as he rode the elevator up to Aaron Russell's office. He pulled the phone from his pocket and searched through his email. One email from an unknown address caught his eye. He opened what
