I swallowed, searching for my composure. “Vladel. Alexei Vladel, Prince of Vampires.”
She pointed a finger into my chest and I shivered. “You always go around calling yourself ruler of the underworld, babe?”
“You asked for my name. That’s my name.”
“Mmhmm.” She looked me over. Even circled around me as she examined. “You got fangs to go with that title?”
“...yes.”
“Really? Lemme see.”
“Here?”
“Yes, here. You brought it up here.”
“If I bring them out to show you, I’ll want to feed. Here.”
She took out a phone and began typing into it, her thumbs flying over the screen, her gaze never leaving me. “You always threaten to feed on your coworkers?”
“They...are not my type. So no.”
“Customers?”
“Too cheerful. Or too desperate. Neither is a flavor I enjoy.”
“What about your boss?” She glanced down at her phone and wrinkled her nose. “Keif? Who the hell names their kid Keif?”
“My...my thoughts exactly.”
“Make a note. Keif deserves no mercy.”
I had to swallow to keep my fangs from lengthening in front of her. She was...perfect.
“You been feeding on this Keif fellow, Vlad?”
“Not if my immortal life was draining from my very body would I ever consider having a taste of that man.”
She flicked her eyes up at me. “So no.” Then she tilted her head so her pigtails flopped to one side. “You handle the money here, Vamp Prince?”
I gritted my teeth. “Human. Resources.”
“Oh god. My condolences.”
“Your compassion is noted. And wasted.”
“As it should be. How would you say money is handled in this particular branch of LoveBubble?”
“You want an opinion?”
“Sure.”
“Like shit.”
She started typing on her phone again. “Go on.”
“The flagrant and perpetual purchase of unnecessary items brings me great pain, in fact. Why, just this morning, Cynthia brought in a slew of bageled confectionaries. To what end? For what purpose? To pad the already swollen asses of the staff? To stabilize their constant depressive declines?”
The woman popped another bubble. “Not a big fan of gluten?”
