“Sure, why not.”
“So what happened?”
“With what?”
“Tell him how you threatened to kick Melissa’s ass,”the other guy said.
I shrugged.“There’s nothing to tell. We were just talking.”
“Stop being so modest. Melissa was harassing Dennis and she swooped in and told her to fuck off. Scared her shitless. I’ve never seen someone shut Melissa up so easily.”
“What’s your name?”I asked.
“Michael. I’m off today, but I work here too.”
“You’re cute,”I said, looking him over.“This could be fun.”
He was ridiculously cute. Adorable smile, deep brown eyes, dark hair that was covered by a backwardhat, and anice watch on his wrist that somehow completed his style. I approved of all this.
“Hey new girl.”A much less cute guy was on the stool beside Michael. He looked like a nerd.“I’m Alan. I work with you too. I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”
“Yeah? Like what?”I straightened up and adjusted my top while I waited. And then I noticed it was taking forever to get an answer because Michael and Alan were both gawking at my cleavage.I cleared my throat.
“Oh. What?Uh,” Alan blinked and adjusted his thick glasses,“well I know you’re Dennis’bind. And that you became a vamp after only a week and a half of being bound.”
“Oh cool, you guys have met Emy.”Sean joined in.“These are the rest of the bartenders.”
“I thought your name was Mina,”Alan said.
“Again?”Sean laughed.
“My name is Emery, but I tell guys my name is Mina when I’m hitting on them or vice versa. You guys can call me Emy. Well, not Johnny.” I shot him an icy look before stating, “You call me Emery. Not Emy, not ‘new girl.’ Call me by my name.”
“So you were hitting on me?”Michael asked.
“Maybe.”I smiled coyly.
“Vixen,I’m leaving.”Dennis walked past without so much asa glanceour way.
“Don’t forget to come back to talk to my uncle,” I called after him.
“I’ll be there,”hesaid.And then he was gone.
“Now you’re Vixen?”Alan asked.“So many names.”
“That one’s my middle name. And my old stripper name.”
Johnny made a face.“I can see that.”
“Can I call you Vixen?”Alan asked.
I laughed and shook my head.“Nope. That’s reserved. Also, please stop with the judgement, Johnny. You’ve pissed me off multiple times already. If you stop now, we can start over. I don’t want enemies at work.”
“Since when do you care about making enemies?” Ari asked, moving to sit beside Alan.
“Who’s this?”Alan asked, looking her over. I was already getting pervy vibes from this one.
“That’s my cousin, Aurelia.”
