Nina Donovan breathed a sigh of relief. 'That's a relief. Otherwise, if anyone saw, they'd burn me at the stake for being a monster.'
She continued to make grand promises with a straight face. 'Don't you know what kind of person I am? I swear, I'll make Misty the employee of the year in the System Realm.'
Misty was very moved.
'She swore an oath. How could it be a lie?'
It departed in satisfaction.
It even forgave Nina Donovan for going off-script.
Nina Donovan turned to find Jasper Sherwood watching her. His dark eyes seemed to see right through her, making her skin crawl.
She frowned, her tone sharp. "What are you looking at?"
Jasper Sherwood was just curious.

He lowered his gaze and asked, "Does your offer from the day before yesterday still stand?"
'The day before yesterday?'
'What did I say?'
Nina Donovan was baffled. "What?"
