“I don’t want you to feel as if you have to do it,” she said.
“I don’t,” Kate said. “You know that. I love their products and have been wearing them since Trace sent me that care package when he was staying there writing his book.”
After Kate’s grandmother had died, Trace had a care package sent to cheer his best friend up.
“I know you do,” she said. “But that is different than lotions and soaps.”
“I can do a few shout-outs on everything. Send me what you want for the foundation. It’s a good cause, as we both know, and it boosts my image too to help for different platforms.”
“Thanks so much, Kate. This means a great deal to me and them.”
“Don’t thank me. Just get me the stuff and I’ll start doing it when I get it. It won’t be a one and done either. I’ll drop their name every time I can.”
She wanted to bring up the idea she had about purses or other accessories for fashion shows, but if Kate wasn’t traveling for a few months, that was a ways out.
Or not really if they were getting things now. Most of the runway items would be set, so no clue if they were thinking of accessories.
International exposure could be huge for Blossoms too. That was one market she was hoping to be able to tap into.
One step at a time at this point.
“I’ll get it all shipped out first thing in the morning. I’ll send it overnight and you’ll have it the next day.”
“I can’t wait,” Kate said. “And don’t do that again. Don’t be afraid to ask me anything. You know me well enough I can say no. And I know you well enough that you won’t be upset if I did.”
“That’s right,” she said. “I need that reminder too. Sometimes it’s hard. I just feel like there is so much of my career that came from the hands of others.”
“Don’t go there,” Kate said. “First off, that is the nature of the business. It’s who you know, not what you know. I can’t stress that enough.”
She sighed. “Agreed.”
“I got you an internship. Lots of people get their friends and family members internships. Very rarely is one given to a stranger.”
“Good point,” she said.
“You earned the job. I didn’t pull any strings there.”
“I know that,” she said. “But I always felt it was because of you.”
“You can feel any way you want, but it wasn’t. The bullshit with Henry, yeah. I wanted to break into HR and get his forwarding address.”
She started to laugh. “I could see you doing that,” she said.
“I was close to laying the charm on thick with one of the girls. But you know, they don’t swing my way so it’d be too obvious.”
Her eyes were watering she was laughing so hard. “It’s over with,” she said. “I hope to never hear from him again.”
“We could find him on social media,” Kate said. “He’s been silent for a while and blocked most people I’m thinking. Doesn’t mean I can’t snoop.”
“You know as well as I do that my father found him. I told him to let it go.”
“Frank loves me,” Kate said. “Your dad would do it if I asked.”
“He probably would, but don’t. I’ve found something so much better and need to put Henry behind me.”
“Got you to admit it,” Kate said.
She could see Kate in her mind pointing her finger with her long legs in a squat. “You did.”
