Taking the Blame

That morning, I saw Ashton again. Funny, I thought I’d have to go out of my way to find him. Maybe he’d been looking for me? He pulled me into the kitchen. The chef was at the butcher’s, so we were alone. We sat at a small table by the back window. Sunlight splashed across the table and onto the floor, making patterns. I traced some of the lines with my index finger.

“Have you thought about my offer?” he asked.

“Can you tell me a little more about it?”

“Only if you accept the position. I urge you to take this opportunity.”

I had thought about Keira’s advice, and Ashton wasn’t telling me much. Since I really didn’t know him, it would be a good idea for her to check into his background first.

“I’ll need some time to think about it. Would that be all right?”

“Opportunities like this don’t last. Can you let me know by the end of today?”

That certainly was high pressure. I was right to wait.

Ashton stood and reached into his pocket. He withdrew a business card, wrote something on it and handed it to me. Then he was gone.

There was a contact number with a very light imprint in the background, a snake striking at a coin. I didn’t recognize the logo. What did it mean? And who carried around business cards with no name or title on them? If Ashton knew about a legit job, he should have been able to tell me at least some of the details. I looked at the contact number again. It seemed familiar somehow.
