INNOCENT TEARS has been re-released.
It has enjoyed another full edit and an awesome new cover.
Here’s another little snippet.
THANK YOU

“Advice is what we ask for when we already
know the answer, but wish we didn’t.”
Emma rubbed her temple as her eyes darted around the foyer of the hotel, not liking the phone call she was having. “Mrs. Gibbs, I honestly do understand the predicament you’re in, but I’m not sure whether I’m the right person–”
“Darling, I have already talked to Mr. Morgan and he’s more than happy to grant you the extra one-and-a-half hour lunch break. I’ll pay you separately as well.”
“Ma’am, it’s not the money–”
Mrs. Gibbs let out a heavy sigh. “Emma, this is an unusual situation and I understand that, but so it is for everybody involved. Not sure what she sees in you–”
Emma was slightly offended by this and was about to hang up the phone, but
somehow had a gut feeling it would come back to haunt her. Mrs. Gibbs was one of those people who took, and that was how they survived. So she didn’t hang up, but listened.
Patiently.

Nothing like letting yourself be bullied…
Yup …. agree …. Thanks for stopping by PT
I’m glad we’re getting more from Emma’s POV. Really enjoying these snippets!
Thank you, Joyce. Glad you’re liking the story.
Don’t we all know people like that too! Excellent excerpt – I felt like I was stuck on the phone with the darn woman inagoodway.
Thank you Veronica.
At some point she needs to kindly but firmly say no, especially with the insults piled on. Great snippet, Iris. 🙂
She will have her moment, Siobhan. Thanks for stopping by.
She’s much more patient that I would have been. That was very insulting. Perhaps it will pay off in the end.
Not only patient, she’s thinking of the small girl as well …. Thanks Elizabeth for stopping by.
So what does the woman want her to do? You’ve got me curious.
Thank you … we’ll find out soon, Ed.
Oh, I didn’t make the connection with Emma before. I totally love that it’s the same story!
Yeah … LOL … it’s hard sometimes when you only get a few sentences to read. Glad you like it, LInda.
Good scene. The frustration really comes through.
Thank you, Jeff.
Nope, I would have hung up at that insult. Or I would have let her have a piece of my mind. I am not one for patience, but I like that she knows how to handle Mrs. Gibbs, that means she’s smart but I hope she doesn’t let it get under her skin. I wonder what she really wants Emma for though.
I might have as well, most likely, but she’s thinking about the little girl as well. 🙂
I wouldn’t be able to listening patiently at all. I don’t do well with situation like that. Great snippet.
I think it’d be a test for many. Thanks for stopping by Cecilia.
I might have as well, most likely, but she’s thinking about the little girl as well. 🙂
Stuck talking to a person you’re not sure you can afford to offend. Been there. This dialogue was spot on.
You were spot on with the situation. Thanks Gem for stopping by!
