Crown Prince's Chosen Bride (19 page)

“I enjoyed our conversation yesterday. You're a very insightful young woman. And I would consider it a huge favor if you were to help me out with my business issue.”

The panic vacated her eyes as her rigid stance eased. “I really do like my job with housekeeping. It allows me time to, uh...sightsee and stuff.”

“Will you at least consider my proposition?”

“I have. And the answer is no. I'm sorry, but you'll have to find yourself someone else to play the part.” She started out the door.

“Please think it over.” He threw out an outrageous dollar figure that put a pause in her step. “I really need your assistance.”

He was running out of time.

And options.
