“So, that’s it, then? You just bailed?”
I resist rolling my eyes at Talia, my closest friend, especially after I’ve
just quit my latest job.
Making a face wouldn’t even matter—she wouldn’t see it anyway.
Not while we’re in the middle of the Seattle Storm’s massive baseball
stadium, and she’s too busy ogling the players’ ripped bodies.
“I didn’t bail,” I sigh. “I resigned. There’s a difference. And Alton gets it.
Heck, we’re here because of him. You can thank my old boss for these
amazing seats so close to the field you can almost smell the players’ sweat.”
“And admire the bulge of each vein on their forearms,” she grins.
I can’t help but grin back.
It’s a perfect night for a game—the city lights sparkle brighter, and the
early summer air feels warm. Since meeting Talia, an event planner for the
team, at a charity event thrown by my old boss, Seattle publishing
billionaire Alton Anderson, I’ve been to a handful of games.
But tonight feels different.
Maybe it’s the freedom after quitting my job as Alton’s nanny, or
possibly because my potential new employer is here, somewhere in this
stadium.
The Seattle skyline stretches before us, the inky sky dotted with metal
and steel. Below, the city buzzes—traffic hums, bars play music, blending
with the scent of beer, hot dogs, and freshly cut grass as the Storm’s pitcher
winds up.
Inhaling deeply, it’s clear—if there’s anywhere to be unemployed, it’s
Seattle. But the city’s beauty can’t pad my bank account or silence Mami’s
voice in my head.
“Una niñera. Que maluco, Larissa,” she’d scoffed, her Colombian
accent thickening. “Your father didn’t sacrifice his health so you could be a
babysitter, mija.”
Rolling my eyes, I try to ignore her voice, focusing instead on Talia—
glowing in her rich, toffee-brown skin, her sleek caramel locks flowing
down her back, completely dialed into the game. That is, until she nudges
me, almost making me spill my tasteless beer.
“Did Alton mention who might be hiring you?”
“He didn’t,” I reply. “Says he wants to protect the guy’s privacy. Alton’s
well-connected in Seattle. He got us these game tickets so I could meet this
new client. We’ll connect the dots from there.”
As we’re piecing together this puzzle, Ayo lands in the seat next to Talia,
sending popcorn flying like confetti.
“Job talk, huh? And here I thought y’all were plotting a VIP sneak-in!”
Ayo, who often caters for the Storm, is our third musketeer. Talia, ever
focused, turns to her.
“We’re figuring out Lacey’s leap from courtrooms to playrooms. Seems
like the nanny gig’s client might be someone from the team.”
Ayo’s eyes widen. “You’re going through with it? Even after the—”
“The fashion internship fell through,” I admit, “and Alton’s found my
replacement. So, now he’s hooking me up with a ‘friend.’ No idea who it is,
but they’re meeting me after the game.”
“And we’re trying to guess who it could be,” Talia whispers.
