CHAPTER 7: An Odd JobIlyana’s POVThe engine of Natasha’s car idled near the iron gates of the palace.“This is crazy,” Natasha said and grinned as she tapped her fingers against the steering wheel. “An odd job, sure, but the pay is ridiculous. You hit the jackpot, Ilyana.”“It pays the rent,” I replied and unbuckled Jasmine from her car seat. “Plus, it feels good to actually help someone out. A hungry baby is a hungry baby, no matter where they live.”“Just do not let them walk all over you,” Natasha warned and leaned back in her seat. “Rich people think they own you the second they hand you a paycheck. You need to set your boundaries early.”“I know how to handle myself,” I assured her and grabbed my diaper bag from the floorboard. “I am just here to do a job and go home.”Natasha laughed, leaning over to squeeze my arm. “Go feed some hungry child, superhero. Just watch your back in there.”“I will,” I said, adjusting Jasmine on my hip. “I just hope I do not run into Boyce today.”
