Unbridled Pursuit (Novak Springs Book 2) by Dawn Brower

it and took everything into consideration. The thing is I have to do what is best for me. So I’ve decided I would like to move to Seattle. It would be a nice change of scenery, and even though you’re the most anal boss I’ve ever worked with—well you’re also the most fair,” Alison explained.
    Vitoria fist pumped the air and did a silent yes at her news.
    “Good, I’m glad you made the right decision. Now on to the details. How soon can you get out here? I need you yesterday.”
    “Isn’t it like you to jump right into business,” Alison replied in a droll tone.
    “I have priorities. So when?”
    “I’ve already contacted the movers. They’ve begun packing your apartment. We need to know where to send your belongings.”
    “I won’t have all the details for a few more days on where I’m going to be living. After I look at a few apartments I will get in touch. What about the office? How is the packing going?” Vitoria asked.
    “I’ve been supervising the progress. It should be all packed up over the next day or two. Do you have office space yet?”
    “I do. Once the office is all packed up, I want you to be on a flight out here to arrange the new office’s organization. Will you be able to do that?”
    “Yes, I don’t have much to pack up here. I only have a few large items. Most of the furniture in my apartment belongs to my roommate. All I need to ship is my bedroom set. I can make those arrangements today.”
    “Go ahead and charge the cost to my business account. I meant what I said when I said all expenses for the move will be paid.” Vitoria paused to get a breath. “Once you book your flight, let me know when you’ll arrive, and I’ll arrange a room for you here at the hotel I’m staying at.”
    “Sounds good. I only have one thing more to discuss with you,” Alison explained.
    “Oh? I thought we covered everything.”
    “No, you’re forgetting your client list.”
    Vitoria smacked her head. Lack of sleep was making her an idiot. How could she have forgotten about her contact list? At least she could count on Alison to have her best interests lined up in fine detail.
    “Right. I’m sorry, my mind isn’t up to its full potential yet this morning. How did it go?”
    “I contacted everyone.”
    Vitoria ran her hand up her arm as a chill caused goose bumps to spread across her bare flesh. “And?”
    “No one wants to terminate their contract. They said they didn’t have any problem coming to you if necessary, but would prefer you fly in to see them. Every one of them said you’re the best publicist they’ve ever had.” Alison stopped talking. Vitoria could hear her take a breath. “That’s good news, right?”
    “Indeed it is. You explained that I’d still come out for emergency cases right?”
    “I did. That was all the reassurance they needed to keep the contract in place.”
    Vitoria was ecstatic at the way things seemed to be falling into place. It couldn’t have gone better if she planned it. She liked the idea of starting over in Seattle. Even if she had to put up with the likes of Wes Novak. “Spectacular. I’ll leave everything in your capable hands. When you get settled here, we will tour our new office space, and I will give you a copy of the keys. If you don’t have any other news or questions, I’m going to let you get to work. I have some things to take care of here on my end.”
    “I’m good. I will call you if I need anything.”
    “Thank you, Alison. Have a good day.”
    Vitoria pressed End and set her phone on the table. She needed to make some more calls, but it could wait until later. She needed some sustenance and a shower. Maybe she should order room service first and then hop in the shower. She pondered her options and decided to order a quick breakfast. The food order in, she grabbed her essentials for a shower and hopped in. When she walked out of the bathroom, donning a fluffy white robe, a knock sounded on the door.
    “I have an order
