THIRTEEN

Imagine all the books you could buy with that.

I demanded the entire record of Calden’s kidnappings. In exchange, I agreed to sign a conditional agreement to work as Allasandro Stephans’s executive secretary. I needed to handle my report, but my boss at the temp firm agreed.

Working directly beneath Mr. Stephans would test my patience, but when my boss, now former boss, thought I would fit well with the Hunters, I stopped and listened.

If I worked to contain the chaos in the Hunters, I would get a better view of their operations. As I’d proven myself to have integrity, the other factions would believe my word. If anything, the change in position would add to the burden of my responsibilities, but I would get paid better for doing the work.

An unaffiliated only dreamed of earning thirty an hour.

The papers Calden’s father presented promised a quarter an hour of a raise every time he pulled a prank involving me in any fashion.

The only number missing was my hourly pay, which their human resources department worked to hammer out. “Smart people wouldn’t sign this without knowing how much they’re being paid to reside in bureaucratic hell,” I muttered.

“You should give her a raise for understanding she ventures deep into bureaucratic hell,” Calden stated.

Weeks upon weeks of overtime pay.” He picked up the papers and waved them at me. “If you sign now, I’ll make him give you an extra week of camping, and he’ll have to provide at least a hundred new books for you to read.” He took to swinging the pages in front of me back and forth. “Books and camping, Coraline. You can’t resist books and camping.”

Calden’s father grabbed a piece of paper, jotted something down, and signed it. He showed it to me.

The paper agreed to the additional terms Calden had suggested.

“Coercion,” I muttered, although I reached for the nearest pen. “Write a note allowing me to immediately negotiate for a raise if the fiscal compensation is not sufficient.”

He did as told and showed me the note, which I claimed and added to my pile.

My parents would scold me for hours when they found out, but I signed. “I’m going to miss free rent in a year.”

“I’m sure we can come up with a suitable arrangement for your rent in a year.” Before the ink had a chance to dry, Mr. Stephans claimed the sheets and grabbed his phone, stabbing at the keypad to connect a call. “Daniel, I have secured her agreement to put up with us and wrangle my paperwork.
