Chapter 15

I was nowhere near as bold as yesterday. I had much to lose now. I’d gotten a six-figure job that I wouldn’t get anywhere else, and I needed to keep it at all costs.

So when I sauntered into the Fae mob boss’s office in my new barmaid outfit, I didn’t whistle, even though I wanted to since I was still impressed with the lush office of glass and steel. I warned myself to appear meek, very meek, but the attire that Drake made me wear before he allowed me to follow him here was getting in the way with my every pace.

It was three ridiculous pieces woven together: a purple off-the-shoulder blouse layered with a lace-up bond corset and a pompous pink mini-skirt with golden patterns. A corset! Who wore corsets these days? It looked like a Roma Bavarian maiden dress in a Shakespearean play.

Rydstrom raised his head from the spotless, shiny screen of his smart phone behind his expansive desk. His dark, bedroom eyes gave my shapely legs an appraising, unreadable glance. I blushed right away, the image of me thrusting my crotch in his face on the edge of his desk flashed by my eyelids.

“Hello, Mr. Rydstrom,” I offered him a sparkling smile. “You look refreshing and formidable today.”

He cocked an eyebrow. “Is that why you hissed at me when I came in this morning?”

My eyes widened, and I immediately put on an innocent look as I dropped onto the more comfortable chair in front of the desk.

“I was scowling at a guy behind you,” I said.

“There wasn’t any guy behind me.”

I rubbed my eyes and offered him a wounded puppy look. “I saw it wrong, then. Sorry about that. I slept only two hours last night.”

“What happened?” Concern lit up his piercing sapphire eyes, and my heart fluttered.

Suddenly, I wanted to drag him close, lean my head on his broad shoulder that could be a good, solid pillow, and cry my eyes out. And if he had a silk handkerchief with an embroidered R on it, I’d probably use it to blow my nose.

I’d been trying so hard to be strong, and lack of sleep mixed with anxiety and fear started to take a toll on me and made me short-fused and more vulnerable than ever.

“I was nervous.”

He arched an eyebrow again, which was damn sexy. Must he do that in front of me while I could barely trust myself? “You don’t seem the nervous type.”

“Oh, I’m that type. I was nervous about my first day at work. I was super worried you’d fire me before giving me a chance.”

“Because you gave me a fake last name and a wrong address on your resume?”

I nearly jumped out of the chair. How could he know that? I stared at him, my heart pounding painfully. “You know where I live?”

“And I know which schools your six siblings attend,” he said, leaning back in his high dragon chair, which looked fancy, shiny, and expensive.

He wore a dark designer shirt, the material top quality.
