“It was only me, Seth, and Rocky who saw it.”
Poor Rocky, the bathroom attendant, was doing his best to come up with remedies for Seth’s hallucinations.
I frown at my friend. “But you need to learn to never eat a piece of candy at a party attended by Carina Puckett.”
“I know, I know. I’ve learned my lesson.” Solomon sighs. “Anyway, what about you? Did you have a good night?”
I shrug. “Fine.”
Solomon eyes me. “Justfine?”
“Yes. Just fine. Now if you’ll excuse me…” I slide past Solomon and exit my office. “I have a meeting to get to.”
Big day today.
I’m meeting the new operations manager for the club. I tasked Farley with the hiring process, but I’m prepared to fire them on the spot if he’s made a bad choice.
Solomon follows me down the hall. “I heard Seth interrupted you getting close with someone on the dance floor.”
“Oh, it was nothing.”
“Didn’t sound like nothing.”
I roll my eyes as we take a sharp right.
The second floor of the Lyons Pride is the VIP area for the nightclub and where we have all our offices. It is also the entry point from the nightclub to the club proper, which can only be accessed by our members.
Farley’s office is toward the front of the building.
“I didn’t end up going home with anyone if that’s what you’re wondering.”
“I think I need to get you checked out by a doctor, Edwin.”
“Oh, shut up.”
“Or at least a psychiatrist. You can’t let this Nate stuff preventyou from–”
Farley pokes his head out of his office. “Edwin, perfect timing! Sonia just walked in.”
So, Farley’s gone and hired a woman, huh? Our clientele will like that. Perhaps a little too much…
“Come inside, come inside.”
Solomon gives me a cheeky grin. “We’ll talk later.”
I glare at him. “We will not.Goodbye.” I stride into Farley’s office and have never been more grateful to see a door slam in someone’s face. “Anyway…”
My eyes land on the face of our new operations manager.
And I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman, ever. I swear on my life.
The first thing I notice is the line of her dark brows and her sharp nose. These features alone could make her intimidating, but her lips are perked in what looks to be a perpetual smile. Delicate and easy.
Farley gestures between us. “Edwin Lyons, meet Sonia Hill. Our new operations manager.”
“A pleasure to meet you.” I keep my deepest, most professional-sounding voice as I hold my hand out to her, eager to feel her touch.
“You as well, Mr. Lyons.”
