One of the other concierges Lance told ot me in trouble with the boss man Then someone let it slip that he pulled my HR record and they saw it in his hotel roo that he had been looking at my file The Middleton brothers only did that for two reasons, a pro I’d been written up and Roxieto know about it I had to start looking for a new job as soon as possible

I was going to get canned, I just knew it I wanted to quit before they did that, but I didn’t want to giveI told you so My parents and I had the sauments every day I didn’t kno reat work ethic and character They wouldn’t know; my father’s wealth had been handed to hiained eveninto my mother’s wealthy family

Joseph cao on break I was about to walk ahen he said, “Wait”

I stood there for afor the reason he stoppedto the lower bosses or the HR people? Why did he have to crush my dreams in every way?

He was about to say so when that snotty assistant called out to hiain While his back had been turned froave me a look that would have me six feet deep if looks could kill I wasn’t intimidated, only crushed I couldn’t shake the infatuation I had with hi that they had sex with each other killed me

“The executives are waiting for you to head over to the restaurant”

“I need to speak to you later,” he said, looking deep into my eyes I just nodded because the look on his face wasn’t harsh In fact, it was soft, almost affectionate

Hopefully, soe of tears as it was I walked into the breakrooathered Everyone looked at allows

“Sorry, girl We heard about the HR write up and now this I ets fucked up in this place His assistant was talking to Marlene and she said your name”

“Well, you know that Joseph Middleton is a perfectionist and that woman has it in for you You’re too pretty for her to deal with”

Darla scoffed and said, “He’s fine as hell, though If I wasn’tlike a giddy fool”

Any time Roxie’s name was mentioned all I saas red “Well, I hope he tosses hi e I had no appetite and I was about to turn in my notice

“That’s not nice and I know that you don’t mean it”

“I don’t, but I’m the reason that we have to wear a uniform at the desk now Everyone was pissed at me”

“Uuys were harassing you They thought it would be better if they didn’t ogle all the women”
