“There are a few candidates,” Levi says, tightlipped. “While the original job listing would have required the candidate to relocate to New York, this position would require you to live in Montana.”
I laugh under my breath.
“Is that a problem, Ms. Sinclair?” Levi asks.
“No, sir. But if I’m to be frank, I don’t think Logan will ever approve of it, and I can’t imagine we would work well together.”
Levi nods and jots something down. “Let me talk it over with him. We will be in touch.” He stands and escorts me out of his office, down the hallway, past Logan, who is stewing with the receptionist near the elevator.
She’s probably getting an earful.
Is he sleeping with her, too?
ELEVEN
Logan
“You could have warned me!”My body tingles with rage, like a volcano ready to burst at any moment.
A few staff members are looking in our direction in the hallway.
Cali is in the elevator on her way down. I wait as patiently as possible before my sudden outburst.
“Let’s discuss this in private,” Levi says, and heads for his office.
I’m not one of his staff members. I don’t work for Levi Luxenberg. We’re equals. Well, technically, I’m the bigger shareholder in the resort.
When he came to visit in December, he shot off a few decent ideas that made me consider making him part owner. He receives a small percentage in addition to a royalty share for every slope ticket that we sell for the day.
In exchange, he’ll be doing the official hiring of our social media expert, who is going to help our image and give us the publicity we need. The position works under my leadership but is paid through Luxenberg Enterprises. The employee will report to me and be required to live in or near Breckenridge. It’s not a position that can be done from home or across the country.
He shuts the office door more gently than I would as I storm inside. “Do you think this is funny, bringing Cali here for an interview?” I want to pound the shit out of something or someone. Maybe I should find the fitness room. Levi is bound to have one in the building for his employees.
Levi smiles, his shoulders relaxed. He’s not the least bit tense or high-strung over what just happened. It must be nice.
“I was as surprised as you were,” he says. He comes to sit behind his desk and grabs the flash drive off his desk, plugging it into the slot. “But you did say the video she made got a lot of traffic.”
“Wyatt told me that. I haven’t looked at it since the day after Christmas.” It’s ingrained in my mind, the horrible things she said about the company and me. It’s hard to separate the two when I own the establishment and live there. I take pride in my work and my accomplishments.
I should be grateful I haven’t seen anything from a lawyer after Cali fell from the ski lift.
“Did you know that Cali used to work for Bridget Lancaster?” Levi asks.
I rub the back of my neck and sit in the chair across from Levi. “She mentioned it a while back.” I forgot. It was an easy thing to axe out of my mind after everything else that happened.
“That woman always had it out for you.”
“Every woman seems to have it out for me,” I mutter. Cali included.
Levi chooses to ignore my remark. I’m sure he realizes nothing good will come from fighting with me about it. “Cali sent me a few additional samples. She claims that the video we saw on the vlog wasn’t hers.”
“Who else shot the footage?”
“She’s not saying she didn’t shoot it, but the review and the captions weren’t her. She left her job that morning, or was fired,” he says.
“I don’t understand.”
“I believe Bridget made the video and, in the same process, let Cali go because she didn’t do what she wanted her to do.”
