I gave her an indignant look and narrowed my eyes at her. “This is my beautiful PA, Summer. Summer this is Celeste.”
Summer looked her over and at least offered a polite nod.
Celeste raised her perfectly arched dark brows at me then returned her focus to Summer. “Alex and I go way back. You’re working late?”
“I am.” Summer replied, her pink glossy lips pressed into a thin line. She looked back to me and shifted her weight from one side to the next. “Do you need me to get you anything? I’m going to dinner with Eilesh.”
“I’d absolutely love a bottle of holy water, a bible, and if you can find a priest who specializes in exorcism at this hour that’d be great.” I chimed in.
Celeste laughed. “He’s funny isn’t he?”
“I’m being serious. Tell him we have a demon in our home, angel.”

Rat me out, or ruin what I had.
Those were her tactics, and just like always I got caught in my own trap as the alpha female made her mark.
The bitch.
“Don’t worry, I won’t be going anywhere near there.” Summer’s voice cut in. she looked directly at Celeste and never acknowledged me as she walked away and went up the stairs.
“Get out.” I said to Celeste when I knew Summer was out of earshot.
I didn’t like her seeing this side of me.
Me angry.
“Excuse me?” Celeste narrowed her eyes.
“I said get out.”
“You’re throwing me out?”
“Celeste, don’t fucking piss me off any more than you have. Get the fuck out of my house and don’t come back.”
“But our fathers—”
