Excerpt:
“Hey!” Eila flared. She heard Brett inhale sharply. He shot
from his chair and was beside her in seconds. “What happed to you?”
Eila stiffly draped the scarf around her head again. “I got
mugged last night.”
Eila failed to see Brett’s hands curl into fists. He was
angry, very angry at the person who had done this to her.
“Are you okay?”
Eila merely nodded.
Running a quick hand through his hair he sat down on the
chair next to her. “You are a trouble magnet,” he growled.
“So the mugging is my fault?” Eila’s expression bordered on
incredulous.
“I didn’t say that.”
“No, you just implied it.” Eila shot to her feet. “I just
wanted to thank you for saying a few things in my favor yesterday. And I’m sure
if you hadn’t, I still could’ve managed just fine.”
“I’m glad you aren’t hurt.” Brett let Eila see in his eyes
what he was really feeling. His blue eyes met her dark ones steadily. An
intense emotion flashed in his eyes.
“Obviously your mouth is working, so I’m guessing you are okay,”
“You are unbelievable!” Eila retorted, putting her glasses
back on.
The sneer staged a comeback. “I know.”
“It wasn’t a compliment,” she snorted.
“I know that too.” Brett nodded mockingly. “I have a job for
you. I need an assistant.”
“Bartenders need assistants?”
“No, restaurant owners do.” Brett sat back in his chair and
looked up at her. His face was serious.
Eila asked perplexed. “Who’s the owner?”
Brett watched Eila. She wore fashionable but conservative
and pale colored clothes, her hair was always neatly clipped in a long, glossy
ponytail but Eila could not contain her impulsive, unrestrained and unaffected
personality. She reminded him of windy meadows, gusting rains and trees
burdened with blossoms. Brett crossed his arms across his chest and the shirt
tightened, which flattered his buff torso.
“You’re looking at him,” he said.
