Ryn!"
I jerked as I turned around and saw my boss.
"What are you doing?!" He queried, with hard eyes.
"Uh-" I stuttered, glancing back. "Still getting acquainted with t-the place."
He took one long, assessing look at me from head to toe and nodded to himself. "You'll work at the high tables tonight."
I blinked in surprise. "W-what? I I just arrived. I still need guidance!"
The boss waved me off with a hand. "You will get guidance. Just make our clients happy. Hmm?" He smiled, before waving over Maggie and whispering something in her ears. The girl looked at me and her blue eyes hardened and the moment the boss was gone, she stormed towards me. "I swear. I didn't know." I began to say, but she grabbed me by the arm and drew me away. Just as I followed her, I looked back and saw Miro make it to the landing but he didn't get to see me before Maggie pulled me into a room. "Look, I-" "Shut t up." Maggie answered and sighed before placing her hands on her waist. "Now listen good because I am only repeating myself once. Here's how things work at the high tables. As a pretty girl," She glared at me from head to toe, "you can either stick to serving or take it a step further. This means you will also have to flirt around and gain these men's approval." "That's the major reason why they keep coming back. For the girls. Most of them are mated but a little flirting never hurt anybody. So if you play your cards right, you can make a lot of money from tips. Do not and I repeat, do not anger any of the clients or you'll be in dipshit."
I began to regret not investigating properly before diving headfirst into this job. "What if I don't like him?"
"You have the right to say no and move on to the next table but be polite about it if I don't like him?" breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

there and you'll watch me."
Together we went out but Maggie asked me to stay in a corner and watch her first. I saw her carry an order of drinks and strut across the room to her table. In a very flirtatious way, she bent over to show her cleavage, while smiling and placing the drinks on the table. Before rising to her full height, she sparked some more conversation and the customer snuck some money between her cleavage. Then she turned to me and nodded before walking away.
Which meant
I was on my own now. I scanned the bar for Miro. What would he think of me if he saw me here?
"Table number five?!" A ringer called and I recognized it as one of the tables Maggie assigned to me. Quickly, I crossed the space to get the order. Scanning the room for the table, I took a deep breath when I found it.
It's just serving, Ryn." I told myself. "It's an honest job and there is no shame in it."
With that said, I pushed my shoulders back, chest forward, summoned a smile and then I walked with my head held high.
Immediately I did that, the atmosphere changed. Everyone grew silent to the point that I could hear the knock of my heels against the floor. I noticed some necks turn my way and then some more until everyone in my path was staring at me.

I instantly felt uneasy.
Who knew such attention could be unnerving?

Keeping my pace, I walked past a series of 'high' tables, keeping an eye out for Miro but I couldn't find him. When I got to my table which had a single elderly man, I had no idea what to do next, so I smiled at him.
"Hi." I said, then squeezed my eyes shut before bending at the waist like Maggie did as I placed his drink on the table. Knowing this was not who I envisioned myself to be, I quickly rose back up.
Flirting is for extra tips, no one said anything about it being compulsory. The middle aged man didn't seem interested in my cleavage either as he pulled his drink closer. After awkwardly standing around, I turned to leave.
"Hey." The man said, and I turned just in time to see him stretch some money in between his fingers to me. My eyes widened in surprise as I subtly collected the money and thanked him. While walking away, I grinned as I stared at my first tip and then I raised my eyes and my smile fell. Sitting just a few feet away was not just Miro but also his brother, Theon.
They were being attended to by Chelsea who was now glaring at me, because the attention she wanted was focused on me. Miro, dressed in black sweatpants, cocked his head to his side and gave me a slow head to toe look that made a nasty shiver run up my spine. Theon, on the other hand, just flat-out stared at me with radiant blue eyes that seemed to betray nothing but intensity. This time, he had his hair cascading around his face and suddenly, my fingers twitched with the desire to run my fingers through them. Gods! What is he thinking? Do the twins think less of me now? Are they mad at me?
"Hey! What are you doing?" I jumped and then turned to see my boss looking every bit annoyed. "Table eight has been waiting. Get to work!"
I nodded and with one glance at him, I hurried to the table.
There, I found about five men sitting round a table, giving off Alpha and Beta auras. At first, they were chattering away laughing but when they noticed my presence, they got real quiet. I flashed them a smile. "What would you boys like tonight?" "All I of you?" One of them stated and his men laughed. "Could we have all of you for the
night?
and
and
I forced myself to keep on smiling. "Come on now, boys. Seriously, what do you need?"
"Just you." The man grinned followed by more laughs and since table eight would not co-operate, I decided walking away to other tables to get their orders would be best. I had barely taken steps away when I felt a huge hand land on my arm. I looked up to see my oppressor rise to all of six feet - intimidatingly big and tall - towered over me. "Why are you in such a rush, pretty girl?"
My impatience morphed into anger. "Let go of me. Now!" I threatened, feeling my wolf ready to come to the surface but that seemed to anger him more because he held my arm tighter till I felt pain course through me and thought my bone would break. "How dare you think you can talk to me that way?!" He shook me, and people began to stare at us including the security who did nothing. Suddenly, the aura in the atmosphere changed as I sensed someone far more powerful around.
"She said, you should let her go." A whispery, seductive but also deathly chilling voice said and I turned just in time to see Prince Theon standing a few feet away. But something was different about him this time. He was no longer wearing his mask 2/3 16:53 Wed, Oct 23 BBB.

of nonchalance and on his face was rage itself.
