"Oh." Brianna narrowed her eyes. This wasn't the dinner invitation she expected, but it was work. "Sure. I'll do it."
"Yes, but there is one tiny condition," Matthew added, his expression turning slightly strained.
"You have to do it with Mr. Blackwood's niece."
A visceral groan escaped Brianna before she could catch it. "Ugh. Why Siren?"
Siren wasn't really her name; the nickname was an open secret. Everyone knew her as Siren because you heard her screams or her weeping long before you saw her face. She was either having a mental breakdown or having a breakup.
She was the production team's worst nightmare, kept on the payroll only by the grace of her uncle's heavy-handed connections.
Matthew cleared his throat awkwardly. "Dr. Colburn, her name is Melody."
Brianna rolled her eyes. Melody. And yet all she does is make noise.
"Melody seemed very eager to finally meet you," Matthew said, giving the lingering crowd a sharp look that sent them scattering in a hurry.
