When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 53

Harriet waltzed in with Kristin, hooking her up with a chill gig at the reception desk.

Kristin’s got the looks with a killer figure, a real head–turner behind the desk.

“Front desk’s all about image, but it’s a trouble magnet too. If some drunk ruffles your feathers, don’t poke the bear, just buzz me, got it?” Harriet’s the sales honcho for the joint, so she’s got Kristin’s back.

Kristin nodded, “Got it, I’m on it.”

As Harriet checked her phone, she rallied a few lookers to charm the guests.

“Hey, Mr. Zack, been a minute, huh? What’s your poison tonight? On the house!”

The chubby guy chuckled, wrapping an arm around Harriet’s waist. “You? Treat me? Brought some pals, find me some sharp gals for a bit of fun.”

Harriet shot him a knowing smile and followed him into the elevator.

Kristin stood at the desk, going over the VIP mugshots. These high–rollers were untouchable.

“Where are you from? A looker like you at the front desk, that’s a tough break,” Yara, another receptionist, said with a grin.

Kristin chuckled and replied, “I’m from out of town.“.

“Same! I hail from Saint Diego.” Yara wasn’t a knockout, but her smile was infectious.

“Front desk pays peanuts, no commission. But you, dolling up and sipping drinks without the extra, could rake in a couple grand a month,” Yara said, noticing Kristin’s silence.

Kristin shook her head. “I’m allergic to alcohol.”

Yara got it. “Shame, but no biggie. We make less, but it’s honest work.”

Kristin gave her a once–over, whispering, “How long have you been here?”

“Since graduation, pushing four years,” Yara whispered back, slipping Kristin a stick of gum.

Kristin murmured thanks and probed softly, “Ever seen Aurora Tech’s James Bryce around?”
