Mimi takes my hands and gives them a gentle squeeze. I liked her the minute I met her. She has that good-natured personality that’s actually too good for the place but I worked out why she’s here. She likes Gabe. It’s that simple and while she’s good natured, people like her add texture to everything they do.
“You’re going to be okay.” Her hazel eyes sparkle and when she nods the ends of her wild honey blond curls bounce with life. “The playboy lounge is … interesting. If it helps you have the hottest men there. Denise called in sick today and she’s a favorite, so I thought you could start covering for her.”
“Is that just for tonight?”
The compassionate expression she gives me tells me I need to stop asking questions.
“I don’t know. Mia.. look, forgive me if I cross the line, I can see you’re taken with Nick. It’s not surprising but he’s not really the long term kind of guy. He’s … business.”
I nod understanding and I know I’m not supposed to feel like a slut but now I do.
I absolutely fucking do. Again.
“Of course.” So now I must do the job I thought I was applying for.
“He might ask for you to do different things. Just don’t get your hopes up… or…”
Mimi’s voice trails off. As if on cue we both see Gabe across the atrium leading a woman up the stairs. His hand is on her ass. It’s pretty clear what his intentions are for her.
Mimi looks back to me, cheeks flushed and I can tell she’s hurt, but she brushes it away.
“Don’t get your hopes up,” she nods then hands me a fob device. “This is for security. I hate to tell you this but you might have to go topless at some point tonight. Denise does a lot of that. If anything happens, press the button and someone will come.”
God…
I pull in a deep, deep breath and hold on to it.
Did I just hear her right?
Topless?
Well… Chloe did tell me. I just thought there would only be one man seeing me like that.
But he doesn’t want me anymore.
Tears sting the backs of my eyes.
