Drawing up in a stiff, pigeon-chested stance, Dennis sniffed. “You know, of course, that I’ve designed rooms for other well-known clients. When I did the Manhattan suite for JLo, she gave me complete carte blanche.”
Sam longed to crawl under the table. The last thing she wanted was for Dennis to name drop in front of Eric and the kids. Her parents had hired the decorator as a gift to her, but sometimes she wished she had done the job herself. More than that, she wished she could cancel the entire renovation. She hadn’t wanted or needed the expensive work.
Dennis tossed his hands into the air. “I can’t work under these conditions.”
Sam glanced around at the group of fascinated teens and then at Eric. He seemed to be studying his sweating Coke can with unusual interest.
“Exactly what can I help you with, Dennis?”
“Your carpenter, that Jonah Fraser fellow, painted the east wall of the sitting room today. It’s blue. Robin’s-egg blue, a shade that simply will not work behind your mask collection.”
Oh, please.
Sam counted to ten before answering. In her business she worked with finicky people all the time. A people pleaser, she wanted to make all of them happy.
“I know you want perfection, Dennis, and the rooms are coming together beautifully, but the paint Jonah used is the color you and I chose last week.”
“It doesn’t work. We have to get something else. You’ll hate it and my reputation will be ruined. Ruined, I say.”
Sam rose from her chair and gently guided Dennis toward the exit. She could feel Eric’s gaze on her back.
“Everything will be fine, Dennis. I’m sure with your exceptional creative talent, you’ll think of a way to make all the elements blend together. That’s why we hired you. Your reputation for turning the ordinary into the magnificent is impeccable.”
