“I’ll go get us some food.” I excuse myself before the last bit of my self-confidence is crushed by the intense exchange taking place between Monika and Kenneth. Grabbing a plastic plate, I fill it with tasty appetizers and find an empty spot by the window.

While nibbling my food, I notice Edward Roel gazing at me and turn my back to him to discourage him from bothering me. I’m not exactly in the mood to entertain one of Kenneth’s employees, even if he might think it is my duty. Cold shivers sweep over my body as I hear Monika’s joyful laughter over the music and the murmurs of the room. How nicely Kenneth is entertaining her while he didn’t so much as spare an appreciative word for me.

My eyes roam over the crowd to locate Wendy, or Trish without success, which isn’t exactly a surprise, since probably neither have kids. A gentle tap on my shoulder causes me to nearly jump in shock.

“Hope I’m not disturbing.” Edward stops before me and offers me a glass of champagne.

I shake my head and force myself to smile. “Thank you, sir, but I’m not old enough to drink.”

His eyes widen and move down my body in an appreciative glance. “No problem. I’ll drink for us both.” With that, he gulps down each glass with ease and places them on the table. “How old are you, then?”

“Nineteen.” I pop a fried shrimp into my mouth, but his hungry gaze kills my appetite.

“There’re other jobs to have that are more fun and more lucrative than running around after other people’s children.” The deep, teasing tone of his voice and the quick sweep of his eyes over my body hint at the kind of job he’s talking about.

I almost laugh at the fact that I’m doing exactly the job he has in mind. “There certainly are, but I’m happy where I am.”

“I’m glad to hear that, but if you change your mind, here is my card. My cellular number is there too. Don’t hesitate to call me, day or night.”

Not accustomed to having men flirt with me, I frown, but still accept his card.

“Hey, there, I’ve been looking for you everywhere.” Scott appears out of thin air beside me and leans in to give me a bizarre hug. Men are being unusually generous with me today, well everyone except for Kenneth, who, from the constant laughter of my friend, must be still flirting with her.

I hug Scott back, mostly to discourage Edward’s advances. “Hi, Scott,” I say eagerly. “Have you eaten yet? The shrimp is delicious. I was about to get some more. Would you like some, too?”

“Sure. I’ll come with you,” Scott says with a wink that has me frowning.

I nod to Edward before heading to the table.

“Was he coming on to you?” Scott whispers to my ear, his lips disturbingly close to my skin. Not just that, he grips my elbow as we walk side by side, despite my attempt to release myself from his hold.
