lifted it over her shoulder. “It’s going to be a busy day tomorrow. I’d better go. I’ll make sure Patricia gets the new contract for you, your family and your lawyers to look over for the new season.”
With that, she quickly spun around, thankful she didn’t fall in her haste and finish the night off with a bang to complete the task of making an utter ass of herself. Because it wasn’t as if she had done that at all tonight.
Holding back the crazy, embarrassed tears and with as much dignity as she could muster, barely a looking over her shoulder, she all but ran away from him. Deciding to forgo heading to her trailer, hoping Patricia had locked up, she lifted the keys from her bag and, before she was even in range of the remote, started jabbing at the little unlock symbol. She couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
She hopped inside her rental and, before the car was barely turned on, reversed out of the driveway and was making her way out of the Kealoha Ranch as though the devil himself was after her.
God only knows, after the oddness of the evening and the way the night had turned out, he probably was.

“O h, my God...is it true?”
She frowned as her assistant burst into her trailer, a huge grin on the woman’s lined face as she approached Sonia’s desk. Patricia stopped in front of the desk and clasped her hands together.
Is what true? Sonia mouthed, frowning as she nudged her Bluetooth away from her mouth. Then she made a pointing motion with her finger, indicating she was on the phone.
Patricia’s mouth formed an O. She grimaced and held up her hands in apology.
“I’ll make coffee!” she whispered excitedly, and turned, briskly walking toward the minute area Sonia had designated as her reception area in the small trailer.
Sonia was in the middle of a conference call with Marty Shop, one of the executive producers for the show. Sonia held back a sigh, wondering how Patricia had found out the news. The only thing she could be referring to was the news that the Kealohas had agreed to do the show.
She hadn’t told any of the staff yet, wanting to speak to the execs at the station first before she alerted her staff.
Then there was the matter of actually getting the family to sign the contract for the new show.
She felt confident that would happen. The nagging voice in the back of her head, pinging at her, reminded her that she hadn’t actually gotten anything beyond a vague agreement of a second season from the one family member whom she knew to be the only dissenter.
But what a dissenter he was...without his assent, a second season wasn’t going to happen, as she knew neither his father nor brother would agree to it without Keanu’s approval.
Sonia brushed aside the inner voice. It had to happen, she knew it would. Despite what had occurred between the two of them. A blush stole across her face. Not that she was using him in any way, as she’d never resorted to that way of doing business. Besides, he’d been the one to initiate the kiss, not her.
“Sonia, we have all the confidence in the world in the show and, most important, in you. From the beginning you’ve bought something different...unique, to the show. Your vision has been one of the main components of the show’s success. Just keep me abreast of what’s been going on and let me know when you need the money!”
Sonia laughed along with Marty Shop. It was no secret that Marty, along with his partner, Sheldon Harris, partners in business as well as life, were two of the most influential, i.e. richest executive producers in the industry.
She and Martin Von Shoppe, which he had shortened and changed to just Marty Shop, had worked together previously, and although he ran a tight ship in the area of finances, when he backed a project, he went all the way. In the industry, having a man like Marty on her side went a long way toward building not only her reputation but also her career.
“Will do, Marty,” she
