are you in, anyway? Bet you can’t even afford to buy Serena her favorite cosmetics, can you?”Kingsley leaned into his seat casually and replied, “I just retired from the army, so I’m still looking for a job.”“Oh, you’re unemployed,” Nancy concluded snidely, sputtering.“I don’t know why Serena has to stoop so low. Must be some serious self-esteem issues there.” “Who would’ve thought that the ice princess herself is just a bargain bin-lover?”At this point, Tyler’s ego was so inflated that it was a wonder at all he did not burst at the seams. “Hey, kid, if you need a job, our company’s still hiring security.
