“Listen up,” she said. “The client has made his selection.”
The females muttered excitedly. Just the sight of them acting so giddy made my stomach cramp. How low were these girls willing to subject themselves for the pursuit of love?
“He has chosen…” Shrisa paused for effect.
As if it matters.
“Vicky,” she said.
It took a moment for the others to realize who she was referring to. Okhet reacted first. She squealed, grabbed my hands, and hopped excitedly.
“You did it!” she said. “Your first appraisal and you won!”
The others didn’t look so excited for me. Neither did Shrisa, who had her arms folded beneath her large breasts.
“That’s not fair!” Tentaculus said. “She’s only the maid! Why would he want her?”
Okay, that smarted a little. But I was still consumed with the Titan’s decision.
Me? He’d chosen me?
I’d never been more petrified my entire life.
Shrisa walked quickly on her long powerful legs. It was hard for me to keep up with her.
“I don’t know how you did it or why he chose you instead of everyone else,” she said. “Frankly, I don’t want to know. Maybe you humans have a little magic in you. I don’t know. There are more qualified, better-suited girls who have been waiting a long time for a Titan of his caliber to stroll in here. And you stole him from right under their noses.”
She drew to a stop, making me skid.
“I want you to know, I’ll be working hard behind the scenes to ensure he sees the error of his ways and changes his mind. He’s from a wealthy family and I don’t want a black mark against this company’s good reputation.”
“Thanks for the confidence boost,” I said.
Shrisa stepped up so close I could smell her overpowering perfume.
“I built this company from the ground up,” she said. “It wasn’t easy. Especially for a woman in a man’s industry. I built one of the best matchmaking companies in the empire. I won’t let you ruin it with your backward thinking. I regret I ever purchased you.”
I stuck my chin out.
“That makes two of us,” I said.
I didn’t really think that way. Pleasure houses didn’t exactly sound like the kind of establishment I ever dreamed of working in, but I was angry.
“What makes you think I wanted him to choose me?” I said.
Shrisa threw back her head and barked an ugly laugh.
“He’s far better than anything you deserve,” she said. “You should be grateful he even sniffs your way.”
I folded my arms.
“And yet, he chose me,” I said. “And now, I have to be the one to choose him.”
Shrisa looked me over.
“You would consider turning him down?” she said. “Are you mad?”
“I have a job already,” I said. “With enough time, I’ll earn enough to get back home.”
