I can't believe I'm doing this, but Claire is right I'm desperate for a job and maybe if I've already made an impression on this guy it'll be easier for me land something at the bar.

Dressed in my black skinny jeans, a casual white blouse, and my black leather jacket, I push the door of the club open and look around. It looks so different to how did last night, it's empty and brightly light. 

"Sorry we're not op-" His familiar voice begins as he turns to look at me "Open." He finishes his sentence. "You." he grins "To what do I owe the pleasure."

Nervously, I tuck my hair behind my ear. "I just wanted to hand in my resume," I hold it out to him

"I see." He nods as he takes it in his hand and scans over it quickly "Aubrey." He looks back at me

"Right sorry, yes I'm Aubrey I forgot to introduce myself yesterday," I say a little panicked 

He nods his head and walks past me, locking the door I'd just walked through. "Come." He orders as he walks past me once more and to the back of the bar. I follow closely behind and enter his office as he holds the door open for me. "Sit," he orders once more and I oblige

He takes a seat in his office chair and places my resume down on the desk. "So Aubrey, you have no experience working in a bar."

"No, I don't." I tell him truthfully "But I'm a quick learner and I'm sure there are aspects from other jobs I can bring to this one." 

He looks over my resume once more and then back at me giving me his signature side smirk. "And how exactly does caring for children and working in a bakery do anything for my business?"

I gulp softly, he's so intimidating and he isn't even my boss yet. "Uh, well." I swallow once more "It shows that I've worked in customer service, that I can handle a till that I'm patient and caring and willing to look after others?" I offer 

"You know Aubrey, being sweet and caring, and looking after people isn't exactly what we do at a bar, we serve drinks, we work fast, we have to deal with drunk assholes making demands." 

"Right." I nod and swallow hard once more. 

"Would you like some water?" He offers 

"Yes, please, thank-you." 

He stands up from the desk and leaves the room, a moment later he re-enters with a bottle of water. Standing behind me he places the water down in front of me, his front pressed up against my back. "Here." He breathes against my ear, causing a shiver to run down my spin.

I remove the lid and take a long sip and he sits back down and clears his throat "As I was saying-" he begins 

"Uh, you know what thank-you so much for your time and for the water, but your right, I don't think I'd be cut out for this." I stand up quickly and reach for my bag. 

"Aubrey." He says in a serious tone "I was only playing, if you need a job you've got it." 

"Wait, what?" I ask knitting my brows together in a confused state 

He stands up from his seat and leans against the desk "If you need a job, you have one here, of course, I'd have to teach you some things but if you think you can handle it, I'm willing to show you the ropes."

"Really?" I gasp a little too excitedly

"Really" He nods 

"Thank-you." I throw my arms around him hugging him

"Uh, you're welcome." He clears his throat and I realize it was a one-sided hug, he keeps his hands beside him, not touching me

"Sorry," I whisper as I move back from him 

"It's okay, I'm used to having women throw themselves at me." He grins once more 

"I'm going to have to get used to these cocky remarks you always seem to make." I laugh 

"Yes, you will, because we're going to be spending a lot of time together newbie." 

"Aubrey" I correct 

"Sure thing, Newbie." he raises a brow 

Rolling my eyes I place my hands on my hips, there is no winning with this man. "When can I start?"

"Tomorrow, meet me here, same time and I'll give you a walkthrough of the place and show you how to mix a few drinks, we'll do this until I think you're ready to join the crew behind the bar officially." 

"Okay, sounds good." 

"Tomorrow." He nods his head towards the door as if to say I can leave now

"Tomorrow," I say back with a soft smile as I exit the room. 

I hope I know what I've gotten myself into...

Easton's POV:

As soon as I hear the front door click locked I pick up my phone and dial Nate's number. It's only a few seconds later he picks up. 

"You can cancel that search for the pretty girl from last night."

"Oh yeah?" He questions 

"Aubrey Black, she came back just now and handed me her resume, I hired her." 

"You don't waste any time do you mate?"

"Run a background check, I want to make sure she hasn't got anything to hide." 

"You think she does?" 

"No, I don't think she does, but just because she's pretty doesn't mean we're not running the check."

"On it boss." 

"And let the crew know I'll be working at the bar a little more now, there are things here I need to take care of, but I'll have my phone on me at all times."

"Oh, I bet there are things you're taking care of, a cretin little brunette on the office desk no doubt." I can hear his smirk. "I've sent you her file."

"Speaking of brunettes, what the hell were you playing at with my sister last night?"

"What ever do you mean?" 

"Don't play dumb, you had your hands all over her, and she was looking very cosey with you as well, we've been over this Nate, my sister is off lim-"

"Sorry, what was that? I think the phone is breaking up." He makes noises into the phone "Nup, sorry, I can't hear a thing you're saying." he hangs up the phone

"Idiot." I roll my eyes and place the phone back down on the desk. I reach for my laptop and open it with a deep breath. "Alright Miss Aubrey Black, let's see what I can find out about you." I sign into my account and access the documents. 

Name: Aubrey Black

Age: Twenty three years old

Parents: Deceased

Siblings: NIL 

Education: High school 

She's clean, just as I thought she would be. Twenty-three with no parents, nil siblings, and she didn't go to college, no wonder she was so desperate for work, she probably has bills to pay and her car is having issues as well, poor girl.
