Part Two
Jose snorted. “ Just one problem there, little lady. I work in this diner, and Karen owns it. Therefore I work for Karen…see, here, I look after the buffet.” And he waved his arm expansively at the long buffet table.
Nire’s eyes glinted with determination. She liked a challenge, and pilfering Karen’s staff would certainly be one! For now, she would ignore being called ‘little lady’.
“ I can offer you riches way beyond the mortal buffet table, Jose,” she whispered in a husky voice, leaning forward. She briefly contemplated letting him see down her cleavage and discarded the idea – she would save that for when she really needed it. It never did to flash one’s feminine charms too often.
Jose picked up his glass and began polishing again. “ Like what?”
“ As my minion you would enjoy a full range of perks,” she began in a businesslike tone of voice. “ You’ll get paid and of course, when I rule the world, you may bask in my reflected glory.”
She could almost see his ears perk up, which wasn’t hard as he was wearing long furry bunny ears that looked suspiciously like they were part of some plushy costume.
“ I don’t know,” he replied slowly, although she knew he was hooked. “ I’m like a daughter to Karen…”
“ Only a daughter? Minions get heaps more respect than mere daughters,” Nire informed him firmly, putting the full force of her persuasion in to her voice.
“ Also, you’ll get a taser.”
“ A TASER! Hot damn! Lady, I’m in!” he replied with huge enthusiasm. Then, as if to emphasise his enthusiasm, he leaned forward, grabbed Nire around the waist and kissed her soundly!
What will happen in the next thrilling instalment? Will Nire rip out Jose’s still beating heart, roast it lightly for three hours and drink it with some rich red wine? Will Jose’s love for Nire disintegrate in to hatred?! And who will make a guest appearance?!
Find out in the next exciting part!
