“At work,” Bethany said.
Willow raised her eyebrows. “More.”
Bethany sighed. “He’s my boss.”
“And there it is,” Ember said.
Willow asked,“Justyour boss?”
“Well, he’s the Chief Financial Officer—”
“So, your boss’s boss’sboss’sboss,” Ember said. “Bethany, sweetheart, I think we need to have an intervention.”
“—of Dragons Den, Inc,” Bethany finished.
“Wait,” Willow said.
“Hold on,” Ember said.
They were both looking at her sideways.
Bethany asked, “What?”
“So,” Ember asked, “He’s—a dragon?”
“Well, he’s a dragonshifter,”Bethany clarified. “Most of the time, he’s human. Or he resides in human form. Or something. I don’t know the proper way to say it.”
Ember and Willow looked at each other.
Willow said, “Now it’s time for the intervention.”
“He’s great,” Bethany said. “He’s really nice.”
“So,” Willow said, staring out of the window. “Is it true?”
“What?” Bethany asked, frowning at her.
Willow’s grin was decidedly uncomfortable, but she didn’t stop leering out the window. “What they say about dragons.”
There were a lot of rumors about dragons. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Ember cleared her throat. “You know, that they—”
Willow and Ember looked at each other.
Willow hadn’t stopped grinning.
“What?” Bethany asked.
Ember finally said, “That theyeat fair maidens.”
“Oh!” Heat rose in her face like a puff of warmth from Math’s body. Bethany admitted, “Yeah, that rumor is totally true.”
The other two girls burst into laughter.
Or she could have lied.
Jeez, Bethany was stupid sometimes. She felt like smacking herself in the head.
