Chapter 50: Time Apart

When they called to offer me a job, I nearly turned it down, but decided my pride wouldn’t pay the bills. Once I was hired, Ares told me he was the one to put in a word for me. He was impressed by the way I had stood by Birdy through the whole ordeal, doing everything I could to help prove Birdy’s innocence. He told the partners at the firm they’d be lucky to have me and that he wanted me on his team.

I really appreciated what he did, especially since we hardly knew each other at the time. Over the last six months, I got to know him better, and he was a really nice guy. And it turned out I loved working at the firm, especially when Ares put me in charge of contract negotiations. Bird, Myers, and Childress handled contracts for a lot of famous actors, musicians, and other artists, as well as gaming companies, and fashion designers, in the United States and even overseas. I adored the work and thrived. My new job had already taken me to Milan, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Tokyo.
