"I'm quite sure I've seen you at the pool party," Jake insists.
For a moment, Claire's heart stops—is it over? Right on her first day?
"You were with that group—that group of hotties from City West Bank!" Jake's face lights up. "It was you, wasn't it? Right before Gabriel's ex-girlfriend showed up?"
Claire sighs in relief. Close call. "I told you I wasn't near any of Mr. Tan's parties, much less any pool party. I just came in today."
Jake stares at her, still not convinced. "But I was sure I've seen that face somewhere."
She shrugs. "If I earn one buck each time I hear that line from people, I would be a gazillionaire by now." She smiles.
"Well," Jake mutters, "okay."
