Chuckling, I clap a hand on his shoulder. “While you are taking care of business, make sure security knows not to allow that woman onto my property again.”
I leave my office and head to my bedroom, eager for a hot shower to wash the feeling of the escort’s hands from my body. Another yawn has my mouth widening so far it feels like it is going to tear in two. I remove the gun from my holster, setting it on the bathroom counter before stripping down. I turn on the shower, letting the hot water flow until steam fills the room, though a cold shower would do more to keep me alert.
I should not have stayed at the club until sunrise when I had to take a flight today. I am not as young as I once was.
If I am lucky, I will be able to get more rest on the plane.
Chapter 3 - Anna
Jenna tucks a loose strand of hair beneath her red cap before grabbing her suitcase. “Alright, the plane is yours. The pilot and co-pilot are performing the pre-flight check.”
I tuck my suitcase into the storage closet in the crew cabin just behind the cockpit. “Thank you. Have you heard anything about this charter? All Clancy would tell me is that I needed to hurry to get here.”
Even when I got to the airport and found Clancy in his office, he still didn’t reveal anything. He told me that it was more important that I get here immediately than ask questions.
One of these days when the debt is paid, I’m going to ask Clancy to cut down on my hours. Maybe allow me some vacation time.
Although I won’t actually do this, I like to think of doing it on the days when Clancy’s mood is at its worst.
The truth is that I do not know what I will do when we are debt-free. I love traveling, and since I can’t pay for my own airfares, this job is a little escape from my otherwise dreary life.
Jenna scoffs and shakes her head. “Typical Clancy. You should have heard him when he called me for a trip yesterday. One of the other girls didn’t show up, and he told me that it was my job to shake my ass and try to get some good tips since he wasn’t going to pay me overtime.”
I bite back a laugh. “He’s a real asshole when he wants to be.”
“One of these days I’m going to get another job and get the hell out of here.” She huffed.
“The only place that’s going to pay more is a strip club.” I glance in the mirror and adjust my cap, making sure that it is still pinned properly.
“You’re right about that.”
“So, what about this charter today?” I ask gently, trying to get her back on track.
I only have so much time before these people get on the plane, and I want to know as much as I can about them before I have to deal with them.
Jenna glances in the mirror, adjusting the scarf around her neck. “The pilot was saying that there would be three men, but he didn’t know any details other than that. The flight is only going to Chicago though, so it shouldn’t be too horrible, even if they are high maintenance.”
“They have chartered a private plane. I’m sure that they are high maintenance.” I smile as I stoop down and pull open the mini fridge, making sure it is fully stocked with small bottles of alcohol and water. “It will be an okay trip.”
“I hope so. Mine was awful, but I was prepared to go on this one.” Jenna turns to face me. “Clancy told me not to bother though. He said that he wanted you for this charter.”
My eyebrows pull together. “Why would Clancy want me instead of you? You’re definitely more experienced.”
“Because you have an ass and legs I would die for.” She reaches out and pats my ass before giggling as my cheeks flare. “Not only that, but your smile could charm even the meanest snake.”
Heat still surges through my body as I swat her hand before she can pinch my cheek. “Are you sure that you weren’t drinking on the job? I’m pretty plain, especially compared to some of the other attendants.”
She might say otherwise, but I know what I look like. I may be pretty enough to be a flight attendant, but that’s where the beauty ends.
I won’t be winning any beauty contests any time soon.
Jenna clicks her tongue and tucks a finger under my chin, lifting my head higher. “You’re still young but when you finally figure out how much power you carry and how beautiful you are, things are going to change for you.”
The co-pilot boards the plane and disappears into the cockpit, the pilot trailing behind him.
The pilot nods to Jenna. “You better get going. The passengers are due to arrive in a couple of minutes.”
Jenna picks up her suitcase and gives me a broad grin. “You’re going to do great.”
