in her web?

Excerpt
“But that’s just the latest thing, the tip of the iceberg
you’ve been creating for years. Shall we go through some of the other stuff?” Clayton
clearly didn’t expect her to answer, because he picked up the magazines he’d
brought from the desk and put them down in front of her. It was bad, but Raquel
refused to hide despite how much she wanted to cringe. Rumors of hard partying,
cocaine use—even though she had never used it—infidelity, orgies, stripping. And
that was just the rumors. As a finale he had a list of the names she had
acquired—bitch, whore, slut, jezebel, home wrecker, and her moniker, Man-
Eater.
This is embarrassing, Raquel thought,
seeing everything in black and white. It was something she hadn’t thought about;
hell, half the time she cultivated it, but now she was left with regret. David was the
final straw. He took her already fragile reputation and pummeled it to the ground.
And what was his response when she asked him about it? “I just wanted a
piece of the Man-Eater, but you didn’t even put out. Hope it was worth
it.
” “That’s not all true,” she said. Great, Raquel, way to sound like an
intelligent, self-assured woman.
He shook his head, looking at her as if she was crazy.
“No one cares. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that, but you need to
get it through your thick skull. Your reputation is in the trash, and your job is on the
rocks. You need me, which is why you called me. Because I am the best, and the only
one who can repair your current reputation. You may not want to need me, but you
do.”
Raquel reached for the pitcher full of water in the
middle of the table, pouring a glass and taking a long drink, wishing it was tequila,
while she composed herself. “What happens now?”
He raised his eyebrows, acknowledging that she
ignored his statement. That was the best he was going to get from her, so he just
needed to chill. “Right now? You are going to go the hell home and stay there. Don’t
go out, because I can’t trust you to go anywhere. Even your local family restaurant
isn’t safe when you’re around. Read over the contract,” he passed her a manila
envelope that contained a bunch of paperwork, “carefully, because you are basically
signing yourself over to me for the next six months. If you agree to the terms, then
let me know and I will tell you where we go from here.”
She opened the folder, noticing how thick the
contract was. “What is your strategy?”
“I’m not telling you before you agree. If you want it,
you’ll sign it. And if, God forbid, anything else comes up, call me
immediately.”
