Page 71 of Daddy's Little Surprise

“This is Daddy’s office. If you need anything, you get me or call out. If you can’t find my office, other people are working here that will help you.”

She nodded, and they walked through a different door into a big room. The first thing she saw was the bar. It was to the side, but it was massive.

“The bar is where you can get drinks and food. They’ll know to put you on my tab, so get whatever you want.”

“So, all the candy?”

“No, Little girl. I’ll be telling them how much candy you can have in a night when we are here. They won’t go over it, and if I hear you trying to bribe them, your bottom will be hot.”

She clenched her butt cheeks. “No, thank you.”

“That’s what I thought.”

Rainey looked to her right and immediately saw the part of the room where people could color and play with blocks.

“Can I?”

“Give me one second, and we can go over there.”

“Rainey!”

Her eyes went wide, and she stared at the group ofpeople sitting in the corner she was looking at. She hadn’t seen them sitting there. How had she missed them? Hedda was waving at her, a big smile on her face. Were all of them happy to see her?

“I don’t know,” she whispered. “Maybe we should just go to your office.”

Dane pushed against her leg, and she started to pet him.

“Such a good boy.”

“After I get you something to drink and eat, we’ll go over there and say hi. Why don’t you try for five minutes to hang out with them? If you really don’t want to hang out after those five minutes, you can come to my office. But you have to actually try.”

“Okay, Daddy.”

He led her toward the bar.

“Can I have juice to drink?”

“Water first, and then he can give you some juice after.”

Rainey pouted. “No fair.”

“Baby, health. You haven’t drunk much today, and you need to. Water before, and then you can have juice.”

She pushed her bottom lip out and looked at Daddy.

“Or you can just have water.”

“Water first is fine,” she quickly said.

“That’s what I thought.”

They stood right in front of the bar, and a man walked over.

“Hey, John.”

“Marco. And who do we have here?”

“This is Rainey, my girl.”
