"So…" Mina said slowly, eyeing him up and down. "Are you actually someone important, or just another smooth talker with a good suit?"
Elias chuckled, slipping his hands into his pockets. "Depends who's asking."
"Someone trying to finish her shift," Mina said. "I don't want HR to think I'm flirting with a guest pleaseeeee...."
"Oh, you're not flirting," he said, a teasing spark in his voice. "You're far too honest for that."
She narrowed her eyes. "Okay, you are weird."
That only made him smile more. He leaned in slightly, his tone lowering, almost conspiratorial. "Since you're so curious, Elias Henley."
Mina froze. "…Henley? Like..."
"Yes," he said smoothly. "Like that Henley."
Her jaw dropped. "You mean, you're the CEO's brother?"
"The black sheep version," he said easily, watching her reaction with quiet amusement.
Mina straightened immediately, clutching her shoes tighter, half mortified. "Oh my god, I just told the CEO's brother he was weird."
