There was definitely a need for more drinks after that. My arm raised almost immediately after her words and I flagged down our bottle girl who came and took another round on me. Popping out my credit card, I told her to put everything on it.
"Hands down, best boss I've ever worked for!" Mallory shouted.
Laughter rumbled out of my throat. It felt so good to just be relaxing but it was short lived. A prickly sensation went up my back and it almost felt as though I was being watched. The blonde waitress came back over in good time with our drinks and another bottle of Dusse.
"I didn't order this," I told her.
"It's compliments of the owner," she said.
"Huh?"
She shrugged and pointed in the direction of the bar. Following her finger over to the bar, it seemed as though the crowd parted and the strobe lights that had been going seemed to bounce over him. Flecks of blue, green and pink seemed to spark off Lucien. He had an eyebrow cocked and raised a glass of something up and then put it to his lips.
He was pissed.
I didn't care.
"Fuck, " I muttured under my breath.
"Is that your uncle?" Miguel's observant ass asked again.
"Double fuck," I hissed.
