Chapter 1

Nerves raced in rey and it was drizzling slightly A flash of lightning cracked the sky, followed by loud, o the sidewalk, walking as quickly as I could in my stripper heels Heels I would never have worn to my job at the law firm, but then this wasn’t a lawyer position

I walked quickly into the building I didn’t want to give e mysurprisedand nor that screa that screamed ‘private club’ about it at all

"Are you here about the position?" An older lady looked ht dress and pointedfor you"

"He?" I looked at her uncertainly "Can you tell o into the intervieithout knowing it" I gave her a small smile With narrowed eyes, she looked at o and wait in there He’ll coet you" She looked back down at her desk and started typing on her couessed that was my dismissal, and I walked quickly to the door she had pointedwithI knew nothing about bartending, and frankly, I didn’t really even care to learn I was still in shock that I’d been fired from my associate position at the law firm I’d worked so hard and tediously for This was not a part of my life plan I was supposed to be on a partner track, not a drinking-for-free track I bithysterically I didn’t even know if I would be allowed to drink for free as a bartender I jumped up, ready to leave, when a door opened

"You here for the interview?" The voice was dark and mysterious I looked up to see the htly as the cold air ran over ed to squeak out and walked towards the door

"What’s your narowl

"Jada" I paused right in front of him and looked up slowly "My name’s Jada" I sed hard as I lied I stared at the man in front of me He was about six foot four, with dark blue eyes and dark blond hair I stared at hiswhite shirt The crisp white of his shirt coolden tan and his perfect white teeth "What’s your naave him a small smile and waited for his answer He stared at me blankly for a few seconds and then turned around and walked back into the office I stood there uncertainly, not knohat to do

"Are you co?" He looked back at me and I hurried in after him

"Sorry, I didn’t know," I , s O’Riley, I lectured myself You are a lawyer Do not act like a punk

"You didn’t knohat?" He raised an eyebrow at " I shookinterview"

"Bartending?" He stared at aze fell down to s "Sure"

"I aain for a second Sohtly off in this whole situation

"Take your clothes off" He sat down and started playing with some papers on his desk

"What?" My voice was loud as my mouth fell open

"I said, take your clothes off" He looked back up at me "Now"

"I heard you" This ti you to repeat yourself, but er"

"Shock and anger" He cocked his head and really looked at me then His eyes studiedgig, are you?"

"That’s what the advertise phone up, but his eyes never left "

I watched his lips as he spoke Greyson Nice name He doesn’t look like a Greyson He looks more like a Brody or a Josh I looked around the roo atand leave, butabout, Brandon You can’t tell me who I can and can’t hire" Greyson’s voice was harsh "No cute blondes na up the phone and stood up again, walking over to me slowly "So, Jada, tell me more about you"

He stopped in front of me and leaned in towards me I froze as his lips stopped a mere inch from mine I didn’t knohether I should slap him across the face or close my eyes and wait for his kiss For some reason, my body ith the latter, and I waited in sweet anticipation to feel his lips upon htly "Tell s just called me and told me not to hire you" My eyes opened slowly and I sed hard as I saig in his hands I looked into his eyes and saw that he was laughing at me I knew I should turn away Brandon had warned me not to come here and had called Greyson and told him not to hire me I knew that there had to be a reason I looked at the door and debated with myself for about ten seconds

"I think the more ih my blond hair and shook it out "Don’t you think?"

"Why did you lie about your na?" He looked at me curiously

"Why didn’t you tellfuriously "What’s really going on here?"

"Do you think that’s a smart question?" His eyes darkened at s?"

"I don’t I met him once"

"And he wanted you and you turned him down?" He smiled wide "He never did take rejection well"

"How do you know hiht I knew Brandon? Let him think what he wanted I didn’t have to tell him that Brandon was my best friend’s ex-boyfriend or current boyfriend I wasn’t even sure as going on with the two of thelanced atit to you though Every part ofme not to take it" My heart thudded as he turned to look at lint in his eyes as he surveyed ot three days"

"Three days for what?"

"You have three days to prove to ed me "If, after three days, I don’t think you’re successful, then you are out"

"Most jobs have a probationary period of 30 days to threefast

"This isn’t most jobs"

"What is the job?"

"It’s whatever you want it to be"

"That’s not a proper answer"
