“I’m not his favorite person.”
“Well, you’re mine,” he says. “Call me when you get back to your place.”
“Okay, I will.”
“Talk soon.”
With that, he ends the call.
My phone rings just as I finish lunch.
“Hey, Alistair,” I say, accepting the call.
“Hey,” he says. “I’m going to go out on a limb and guess Amanda Hardy isn’t your real name.”
“No, it isn’t. My name is Sofia Herrera.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sofia Herrera.” His tone his playful. “What happen with Todd? The man was raging as if you had pissed in his high heel boots.”
I snicker. “He was wearing them when you met?”
“He was. He’s uncomfortable with his height.”
“Very uncomfortable.”
“What got his knickers twisted in a bunch?”
“I needed a change. Todd didn’t like my abrupt decision.”
“What are you up to these days?”
Desperately looking for work. “Considering my options.”
“So, you aren’t working for another… agency?”
I clear my throat. “I had a short-lived career as an escort. In fact, I only had three clients—a man, you, and a couple who hired me to watch. I don’t feel the need to further my experience.”
“Are you working?”
“I’m trying, but I’m either overqualified or under qualified. I can’t even use my former waitressing job as a reference, because I injured a patron who decided to grope my ass to satisfy his curiosity,” I blurt out. I can’t believe I just share that with him.
“How did you injure the asshole?”
“By whacking him with my tray.”
“Good for you for teaching the idiot a lesson,” he says. “That’s exactly what he deserved.”
His comment brings a smile to my lips. The first one in days.
“I have a proposal—”
“I don’t want any more trouble with Todd. If he thinks I’m going behind his back to steal his clients, he’s likely to hunt me down and shave my head.”
“I wouldn’t be hiring you as an escort or a companion. Furthermore, I’m not interested in you on a romantic level. Based on the arrangement I have with Todd, you’re a free agent for anything that doesn’t fall under those three categories.”
I chew on the inside of my lip. “What would you need me for?”
“Let me give you some context,” he says.
