Chapter 111: Lore Master

Buttercup entered the Leary Building fifteen minutes early, dressed in a dark burgundy skirt with a white pullover top and burgundy heels. She was nervous and extremely tired. Nervous because of working so close to the Bottoms. It was quite possible that someone from the neighborhood who knew her would see her and then she was sure Alana Leary would toss her out without warning. No one needed an ex-hooker working for them. Bad for the image and all. She was also nervous because Karl just vanished. She had not seen Rhychard’s brother since Thursday. She knew it was too much to hope that the youngest Bartlett would stay gone.
