Nowhere to Run
“Lauren rolled over and felt for the clock. She had been able to grab some more sleep after getting up earlier to call in sick. Her throat was sore, so she hadn’t really been lying. Lauren suspected Linus wouldn’t buy her excuse, but that was tough. With a little luck, she had passed her germs along to him. If his throat started to scratch, then he might believe her.
Groaning inwardly, she recalled the party the night before. It was too bad Jerome was dead, but Lauren felt far worse that Yelena ...had walked in on her and Linus. That wasn’t going to help in her quest for Constance’s job. As far as Lauren could tell, Yelena was one uptight woman, and Lauren strongly doubted the news president would shrug off the compromising scene.
