The Body Hunters by Raven Newcastle Read Free Book Online

Labouleaux, pronounced La Boo Low" Danny corrected with an extreme look of irritation on her face .
                Gerard threw his hands into the pockets of his lab coat and had the audacity to look innocent. The filming of the reality show had been one of the biggest arguments they'd had. She had refused to be a part of the show and refused to move into their home if the cameras were going to be there. Her life was not a television show, and she did not want to become fodder for the tabloids. Being the next celebrity housewife was not her goal in life .
                "You've been filming us!" she continued. The statement was not a question .
                Sebastian seemed pleased with himself. "I couldn't resist. You and Dr. Wolfe's tour of the facility seemed like the perfect place to start our series. Your criticism of the plastic surgery field is exactly the contrast we need to get the viewers hooked. You will be our connection to the everyday people who think plastic surgery is overindulgent. You two had a good exchange and it would have been an outrage not to get it on camera. "
                "See, there's one problem with that Sebastian. May I call you Sebastian?" She asked sweetly .
                "Of course Ms. Labouleaux" He returned overly polite .
                "I've discussed this with my fiancé time and time again. I don't want any part of any reality show. I don't want my life on television. So the footage you think you have needs to be thrown out. "
    Sebastian gave her a condescending 'you stupid woman' look. "Sweetheart, this is a reality show. This is what we do. We film reality. This entire center is our film set. Whatever goes on the camera may make it into the show, I'm sorry. "
                 "No, I'm sorry. My apologies!"Danny could feel flames of anger behind her eyes. "I don't think I made things clear for you. If I so much as see my shadow on television, I will sue your ass. By the time I'm done with you, you won't be able to produce an infomercial. Do you understand me? "
                 "Y-yes."Sebastian stammered before turning to his cameraman. "Erase that footage. We can't use it. I mean erase it now. "
                Danny turned to Gerard, taking his arm. "Shall we go to lunch dear? "
                   The ride to the restaurant was a bit quiet. Gerard's Bentley was nice enough, and the sound system played the honeyed tones of Sade's Smooth Operator beautifully, as the expensive vehicle should have. At the restaurant Gerard finally spoke up.
                "I just get the feeling that you don't exactly respect what I do." Sullen, Gerard pushed his tilapia around on his plate with his fork .
                Danny pointed her fork at him. "I don't know what you're talking about, Gerard. You know I respect what you do. "
                 Dishes and flatware clattered around them as they finished up their lunch at Leo's. The upscale Italian restaurant was a popular lunchtime spot and had been highly recommended by the staff at Gerard's clinic.
                 "Danielle, we know that's not true. Every chance you get you criticizeour clients and the services we perform. You just threatened to sue the producer of the show! What happens if he decides to cancel the series behind your little tirade? The plan with the reality show is to showcase what we do and to draw more interest to the spa. "
                "They are not going to cancel the show because I told them I didn't want to be on camera. Now who's being dramatic, Gerard?" This is not how she expected this lunch to go .
                He exhaled a frustrated sigh, placed his elbows on the table and crossed his hands in front of his face. "I just get the feeling that you have issues with what I do for a living. And since when is being a surgeon such a bad thing? Sometimes you act like I'm a common
