DAMIÁN WAS ON Aiko's mind.

She was seriously considering voiding their contract. When her primary task was to be the mother of his child, having sex with him hadn't seemed as big a deal; it was just the icing on the cake. Though that part of their contract had pricked her conscience at least she could still lie to herself that it wasn't the real reason he'd hired her. But now, given that she'd made zero progress with Zoe, it was painfully clear that she was just taking a salary for sleeping with Damián. The sex was now the cake.

In essence, she was just a well paid, stay-in escort.

And it wasn't what she'd signed up for.

Furthermore, she wasn't a fan of her boss. Yes, she was sexually attracted to him, but apparently sexual attraction and liking someone weren't synonymous. It was possible to dislike someone yet still have your breath hitch whenever you so much as thought of them. She knew because it was exactly how she felt about Damián.

Why didn't she like him? Where to start. He expected her to do her job yet refused to provide the necessary support? He listened and agreed to her ideas then threw them out when she wasn't looking. When he wasn't treating Aiko like his whore, he was letting his daughter treat her like dirt. Damián Colter was the very definition of hostile work environment and she wanted to quit him.

She'd spent last night running through her options. What else could she do that could earn her as much money as he was paying her? This morning she'd already come up with a written plan to start dating classes under the Heart Connections brand. In fact, she'd even found a location for the classes. But it would take some time for the classes to pick up and earn enough to pay the mortgage - time she didn't have.

Before she'd accepted Damián's offers, she'd sent feelers out to see what part-time, immediate-income jobs she could get. The best offer had come from one of her army buddies. He owned a security firm that catered to the rich and famous, and was looking for employees with military or law-enforcement backgrounds. It was an interesting offer but accepting it would mean working nights thus having no time with Seraphina. The pay was also not that great; actually it wasn't enough to even cater for their monthly mortgage payment let alone their dad's medical needs.

Her choices looked limited for now. But surely there was something she could do to escape Damián and his daughter yet still keeping her parents' home.

"Aiko," Femi broke into her thoughts. "Do you have anything to ask Howard?"

"What?" Aiko sat up with a start, only now noticing that Femi and the nurse they were interviewing were staring at her expectantly. "No. No. Not really. I think I like everything he's said."

Femi turned to the man. "Thank you for your interest in the position, Howard. We’ll get back to you soon."

"Thank you for the opportunity," the young man said before he stood and left.
