My Mates, Their Enemies

From the back cover

Tonight was one of those nights.

I worked here at this place for illicit affairs and don't judge me, they payed better than any other store in the town. I saved enough for my wedding in just a month working here. As I brought another bottle of white wine in an ice bucket to the VIP lounge. Athena, the manager of the place grabbed me and pulled me aside. My heart skipped a bit, afraid that I had made another mistake.

"You have to help me". She said, biting down on her lips nervously.

"Why? What's wrong?". My eyes did a quick scan across the crowded club, afraid that one of the teenagers had caused another trouble like the last time. "Another teenager?".

"No, not at all. It's a VIP guest". I could sense her fear.

"Did he touch you?". I frowned angrily. Athena was too cold to work in a place like Skye.

"No, No Ruby, you don't get me", she snapped. "The girl I hired to attend to the VIP's today, she called in sick just now...". The moment I looked into her eyes, I knew where she was headed with this.

"Hell No!". I protested. "I told you already, I can't handle those people".

"I know, I know but I really need your help".
