What if I promise to be a good boy and walk you to your room at the end of the night?
Me
I expected that as the bare minimum. My dad—aka your coach—will be staying there too.
Will
Your dad is my coach? You should’ve said.
Me
Don’t get smart with me, William.
Will
So, that’s a yes to staying in the same hotel? I’ll call the reservations line now and book you a suite.
Me
First Line handles all the bookings.
Will
And you don’t think it’ll look a bit weird to them when you switch hotels?
Shit. True.
Me
Okay. But ONLY because it’s more convenient. And I don’t need a suite; a double will do just fine.
Will
Too late. I just booked the honeymoon suite.
Me
TELL ME YOU DIDN’T.
WILL.
WILLIAM JONES. RESPOND IMMEDIATELY.
Will
This is me, asking for your forgiveness.
Me
Rule eleven: Moving forward, the client is prohibited from booking accommodations on the publicist’s behalf because he clearly cannot be trusted.
Will
Duly noted.
P.S. There will be a fruit basket and Dom Pérignon waiting for you on arrival. See you bright and early at the airport.
