I just couldn’t escape it. I was tense, like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment. Anger prevailed. I was angry at all who came to the boutique and wanted Demain. I was angry at Shore who had started it all. I was angry at Blackbird who had disappeared again and left me without information. I was angry at Harry who wanted me to do things I didn’t want to do. And I was angry at myself and at my weakness at not being able to say ‘No!’ and stand firmly behind that word. I’d managed to hide the perfume from Shore. After the Canadian Grand Prix, he was in the perfumery every single day. I was shocked to see him come in on Tuesday morning looking for it. I knew it would be hard for me to get my nerves under control, so I left him alone with Lucille and Michelle and hid in the back office. But that was the only day I managed to avoid him. The following day, I was billing a customer for her purchase and, before I knew it, Michelle and Lucille had gone and hidden in the office. Seeing his smiling face as he gallantly opened the door for the departing customer, my heart started to pound so hard, I was afraid he might actually hear it.
