Maybe his Greek had failed him, MJ thought hopefully when Helios only glared at her. Maybe all those English interviews of his that she had listened to were scripted and he wasn’t really fluent at all. Maybe what he meant was the opposite, that she was actually super early for the interview rather than super late.
So she said very slowly, “I. Am. Here. To. Audition. For. The. Club.”
Yuri slowly bowed his head. It was the best he could do to keep his amusement from showing. He had been raised to be the epitome of chivalry and courtesy, but this strange funny girl was pushing him to his limits.
Kellion, once again, wasn’t as polite. A bark of laughter escaped him, and he didn’t even bother to try containing his amusement when Helios threw him a dark look.
Helios’ scowling glance snapped back at the girl. Why the fuck was she talking to him like he was an idiot?
The look on Helios Andreadis’ face made MJ whiten even more. What had she done? Oh no. Maybe she had still spoken too fast and now the other men were laughing at Helios for his inability to understand her?
So she said again, more slowly, this time, “I....” She drawled the word out as long as she could. “Aaaaaaaam...Heeeeeeere...”
This time, even Yuri found himself defeated. He laughed with Kellion.
Helios snapped, “Shut up.”
She said automatically, “Yes, sir.”
Yuri and Kellion laughed harder.
Helios glared.
MJ’s heart sank.
“Why the hell are you talking to me like that?”
Deeeeeeym. He spoke the words so wonderfully fast that MJ knew right away she had been wrong. MJ admitted weakly, “I thought you didn’t speak English very well.”
Helios Andreadis looked like he wanted to kill her now, and her heart sank even more.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I do speak English perfectly.”
Confusion warred with misery. “Then I’m really late?”
“By about an hour,” Helios confirmed coldly.
“But I still had classes—”
Yuri said gently, “The vacancies in our club are highly sought after. A lot of the girls simply chose to ditch their classes in order to be one of the first to apply.”
MJ’s shoulders slumped as all her hopes crashed down around her. She couldn’t believe everything would end just like this. After two long years of planning how she could be close to Helios, this had to happen.
Yuri’s gentleness sharpened Helios’ irritation. He did not want anyone to bekindto the girl, dammit. All he knew was the kinder Yuri was to her, the more he wanted to be cruel to the girl.
Kellion observed the unusually contemptuous expression that had fallen over Helios’ face. It was not that Helios never held anyone in contempt. Like any Greek male, Helios was damn good at carrying grudges. All of them were. It was the fact that Helios’ face revealed any emotion at all that made Kellion murmur, “Just out of curiosity,moro mou,which spot are you hoping to apply for?”
The girl stole a glance at Helios before answering, as if seeking his approval.
Helios’ face did not change, but Kellion knew his friend well enough to know that Helios did not disapprove of the girl’s actions.
“I...was hoping you’d have a need for a photographer.” There actually hadn’t been a list of vacancies on the club’s entry in the college paper. In fact, it was the only one that did not have any requirements, but MJ was banking on the fact that every club needed a photographer. Surely Helios’ org would be no different?
Even Kellion was taken aback by her answer.She did not really have a clue about their club at all, he realized with surprise.
Everyone in Christopoulos University knew that their club only had menial roles assigned to the girls, which ranged from cleaning their rooms, taking care of the laundry, and preparing their meals.
Cheerleaders to heiresses to part-time models to groupies – all of them would die for a chance to serve Afxisi. All of them would do it for the same reason, too. Afxisi was a club that consisted of the world’s most eligible and fuckable bikers. Serving them increased the chances of having sex with any one of them, and being taken by one of the club’s members would mean bragging rights not just any woman could flaunt.
