Just a moment after that mishap...
Katie appeared beside me just then, whispering, "What the hell just happened? Did you just argue with Nicholas Knight?"
I turned to her, completely horrified. "Wait, you know him?"
She grinned. "Uh, everyone knows him. He owns half the companies in this city and apparently has a thing for being scary and hot at the same time. Why?"
I groaned, muttering under my breath, "Because I think I might've just called him arrogant."
Katie's mouth fell open. Then she laughed — loudly. "Oh my God, Emma, only you!"
I smacked her arm lightly. "Don't laugh! What if he recognises me?"
"Relax," she said between laughs. "You're in a waitress outfit. No one recognises the help."
Her words stung a little, but she was right. Still, something in me twisted uneasily.
