Chapter twelve

Gideon

A phone doesn’t seem like the best move. You know she’s going to tell Mila not to show up, my wolf says.

“That’s exactly why I gave it to her. At least I can get ahold of her if she does that. She would’ve just talked Mila into leaving anyway.” Sighing, I turn my truck engine off after parking in the bar’s lot. I would’ve told Frank to handle the interviews himself, but with the new task of watching Adara’s house, I didn’t want to pile everything on him. Plus, I enjoy handpicking my staff. I need someone I can trust to be at the bar and help Frank, not some self-absorbed redhead like last time.

Cursing myself for my past moment of weakness, I throw open my truck door and stalk inside. A scowl immediately shadows my face as I look through the bar, noting Lucas’s band playing on the stage again. At least that’s still working out, and the band doesn’t hit on my waitresses.

I see Frank at the bar, packed with people, and he laughs as he fills another round of beers for a table. Walking to the back of the bar, I sidle up to Kurtis at the gambling tables.

“Hey, boss.” He shuffles the deck before dealing cards to the four people sitting before him.

“No Wendell tonight?”

Kurtis smirks. “Not since that first night. I heard Anera wasn’t very happy about the show he put on.”

A dark chuckle bursts from me. “Good to know she continues to keep his leash nice and short.” I pat his shoulder as I walk to my office. “Frank, interviews held in here. One at a time.”

He glances up at me, pouring a cluster of shots. “Got it, boss. First one’s right there,” he throws his thumb toward the end of the bar. One of Mila’s friends sits there, chewing on her lower lip. He nods his head in my direction, and she jumps up.

“Cali, right?” I ask, leading her into my office.

“Uh, yeah, that’s right.” She smiles nervously, her dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail.

“And you want to waitress here?” I step behind my desk, gesturing for her to sit in the chair before me.

She licks her lips, sitting down. “I spend enough time here. Might as well be useful.”

I smirk. “That’s… honest. There’s no drinking on the job, though.”

Her face blanches. “Oh… no, that’s… that’s not what I meant. I-I mean, I do drink when I come here. I just—”

“I get it. What makes you a good fit here?” I lean back in my chair, observing the way her hands toy with the edge of her shirt. “If you’re this nervous just talking with me, are you going to be able to work around me?”

Her hands still, and her eyes find mine. She tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “I can multitask, and I honestly just really need this job. I was dating Aaron before…”

My jaw clamps together, my teeth making an audible clack, and she flinches.
