“We got the Hollywood Bowl,” she said enthusiastically.
“Really?” It’s hard to impress me, but I’m calculating the bonus the woman should get for such a brilliant move. The Bowl was booked a year in advance, at least. “But how did we score that?”
“We may have promised them half the profit of the gig.”
I restrained a groan, but then we weren’t in it for the money anyway. Well, not the concert money. Our percentage of the entire deal would be big enough. I’m running numbers in my head.
“Tell me you promised them net, not gross.”
“Yes, Jacine. Net. All the way.”
“Good.” Then we wouldn’t get suckered into paying the costs while the Bowl sopped up the greater part of the profits. “And how did we get so lucky?”
“They had a hole in their slot because a band’s singer had to go to rehab.”
“Wait. When is this miracle date?”
“Three weeks from today.”
I gnashed my teeth into my lip. That was an impossibly tight schedule.
“Don’t worry,” said Susan. “I have the team working double time. Mock promo materials are hitting the printers as we speak for your approval.”
“Okay, send me the images on my phone, and I’ll look at them.”
“You got it.”
“And the talk shows?”
“That’s the best part. Because of everything that happened last night they can’t wait to get the boys on. I’ve got a slot on The Nyberg Show for tomorrow night. They want all three of them, though.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I tried calling, but Nadine wouldn’t let me through. So I sent an email.”
“Okay,” I said. My mind spun into gear with my best pitches to get the Terrible Trio to man up and cooperate. “I’ll get them there. What time is taping?”
“4 PM and they want them there at two for make-up.”
“Got it.”
As I slung my bag over my shoulder, I walked into the outer office. A beautiful vase of white roses sitting on the corner of Nadine’s desk caught my eye.
“Secret admirer?” I said.
“They aren’t mine. They are yours.”
“What?”
I pulled the card from the bouquet and found only one word inside.
Everit said.
I swallowed hard. Cole must have sent them. What the hell was I going to do now?
