Free Not Famous in Hollywood (Not in Hollywood Book 1) by Leonie Gant Page B

suited her though, beautiful and
calm.
    “ I
didn’ t realize you worked at Bliss” I
said, taking the seat that she indicated with a delicate wave of
her hand.
    “ My husband
and I opened Bliss together. My husband is a strong advocate of the
environmental movement and I love the idea of creating beautiful
products that are completely natural. Here at Bliss we believe in
living in harmony with the environment. As much as is possible we
only use what nature provides in our products. A lot of the
products we use, we actually grow ourselves on a property on the
edge of the city limits” she said her eyes glowing with
enthusiasm.
    It was easy to be caught on the wave of her
passion.
    “ I hate to
say this” I said, and I truly did. “It seems Miss Channing used a
product yesterday while here and it has caused a mild skin
irritation.”
    “Does she have any known allergies?” asked
Jennifer her face creased with concern.
    “ Not that we
know of at this stage” I said mimicking
her concern. “As you can understand though we are very keen to
determine if there is a new allergy or intolerance that we have not
been previously aware of.”
    “ Of course”
she said turning to her computer and hitting some keys. The printer
came to life spitting out pieces of paper. “I am printing out a
list of the products used yesterday by Miss Channing and their
ingredients. As her representative I will ask you to sign a
non-disclosure agreement for me. I hope you understand.”
    I signed the piece of paper quite
happily.
    “Also” she said, “I would like to apologize
for the incident that we had here yesterday involving Miss Channing
and my sister. The person who was making the bookings was new and
had not been aware of the situation between them. We always try to
ensure a calm and tranquil space for our clients. I can assure you
that a situation like that will not happen again.”
    Smiling I took the paperwork. “Thank you very
much. I understand that your sister must have been under a great
deal of strain yesterday. Maybe her grief got the better of her.” I
gave her my card. “If there is anything else that you can think of
that may have caused the reaction, please call me.”
    After getting to the hospital I gave the
paperwork with the ingredients of the products used on Eleanor to
the medical staff. Juggling a coffee I settled down to wait with
Jorge for the next step.
    “Glad to see you out of jail” Jorge said.
    “Yeah” I said.
    “That detective yesterday looked pretty angry
when I was talking to you” he mused. I could see the curiosity
sparking in his eyes.
    There it was. I was going to have to bring
Griffin into my world and Jorge had just provided me with an
opening.
    “ Yes, about
that” I said, “I’ve kind of been seeing him lately and he’s a bit
possessive.”
    “Wait” said Jorge looking confused. “You were
arrested yesterday by your boyfriend.”
    “Doesn't sound good when you put it like
that” I said.
    “Seemed like a bit of a dick” Jorge said
slowly.
    “ Yeah he did,
didn’ t he?” I replied matching his
tone.
    “ Doesn’ t sound to me like he’s the
kind of guy that deserves you” said Jorge.
    That was
nice. Jorge and I didn’t usually have deep and meaningful
conversations but it was good to know that he had my back when it
came to my fake blackmailing boyfriend.
    “ I don’t know
how long it’s going to last” I said despite the fact I knew that it
was going to last three months and not a second longer.
    “Problems already” he asked knowingly.
    “ Let’ s just say he doesn’t exactly
live up to the advertising” I said sagely. Hell if I was going to
be forced to have the guy as my boyfriend I was quite happy to
trash his reputation while I was at it.
    Jorge looked
at me with a speculative gleam in his eye. I wasn’t really worried.
Now Griffin was established as my current if not future
boyfriend.

ward came over to
