DR.

LINDSAY LARKIN WALKED INTO THE OFFICE BUILDING IN DOWNTOWN Milwaukee that acted as the Midwest hub for her booming online therapy and counseling business.

She had started her company out of Milwaukee, but The Anonymous Client had expanded nationwide and was growing nearly faster than Lindsay could keep up with demand.

She managed by putting the right people in charge of business growth and development while she concentrated on the clinical side.

She was making a name for herself by seamlessly combining psychology and business. So much so that she’d made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.

The Anonymous Client occupied two full floors of the 100 East Wisconsin Building in downtown Milwaukee.

Lindsay stepped off the elevator and pushed through the glass doors, where her assistant, Beth, met her with a cup of coffee and the day’s calendar.

“Morning, Dr. Larkin.”

“Good morning.

What’s the day look like?”

“You have a very busy Wednesday.”

Beth handed over the day’s schedule as they walked the hallway toward Lindsay’s office.

“Gayle Kirk from The New York Times is here for the interview at nine.

I blocked your whole morning.

Then you have a meeting with Dr.

Ramón.

She’s the potential new hire. And then a full afternoon of client sessions.”

Lindsay looked through the printed schedule as she walked into her office and sat behind her desk.

“Gayle Kirk?”

“It’s been scheduled for weeks.

The Times has wanted to run an exposé for a while.

We agreed on this morning.”

Lindsay said nothing as she stared at the schedule.

“I mentioned it the other day before you left,”

Beth said.

“No, no.

I’m sure you did.

It just slipped my mind.

Where are we doing it?”

“The interview? In the conference room.”

“Give me five minutes.”
