"How much do you charge?" The man asked.
"What?" Erica was bewildered at the question.
"Look if it's a high price, I'll pay it as long as you don't have the clap or something" Erica then put two and two together. This man thought she was a prostitut...

Erica arrived at work the next morning pretty early. Tommy had called her in to be introduced to the few blinders she hadn't met yet as he wanted her to be familiar with her fellow employees of Shelby Ltd. company. She wanted to make a good impression and decided to buy some cakes from the local bakery as a kind gesture.
When she arrived at The Betting Shop,it was mostly everyone who she met the previous day apart from a few others. Tommy brought her over to his side and whistled for everyone to stop mumbling and call their attention.
"Alright everyone, this is Erica Stark. She is cousins with our Lizzie and will now be working as assistant accountant- "
Tommy continued on with his announcement but Erica couldn't help her eyes drift of to the back of the shop where Michael was taking deep puffs of a cigarette while peering at Erica from across the room. He looked so unbothered with anything and everything that seemed to involve Erica which frustrated her as all she wanted was to get on with her job.
Tommy had stopped talking by then and ordered everyone to get back to work once he had finished. Erica was about to make her way towards the office when two young men stopped her in her tracks. One she had a striking resemblance to the Shelby brothers and seemed to be slightly younger than Erica and the other was black and probably the same age as her.
"Finn Shelby. I'm the youngest and most attractive Shelby brother" he gave a wink and cocky grin that made Erica giggle. The other boy was much more suave and picked up Erica's hand to kiss her knuckles.
"Excuse this one, he hadn't mastered the Shelby charm just yet. I'm Isaiah Jesus, and you are beautiful". Erica couldn't help but laugh at the boys attempts to court her. She even felt her face flush at all excessive male attention she was getting.
"It's a pleasure to meet use. I bought some fresh cakes from the bakery if use would like some?" Erica smiled as she pulled out the box of cakes from her shopping bag. The boys eagerly took a cake each from the box and devoured them.
"I could get used to seeing you around here that's for sure" Isaiah licked his lips as his eyes scanned Erica's body. Finn seemed to be doing the same at that point. She found his eyes moving down to her chest area from time to time during their conversation.
"What do you see we skip work today an-"
"Alright boys, that's enough of trying to get into Erica's knickers for one day. She has to get back to work now" Erica turned to find that it was Michael who interrupted their conversation. He had a look of annoyance on his face that confused Erica. She was curious to what his problem was.
"Relax there Mickey.Isaiah and I were only introducing ourselves, isn't that right love. There's no need to be jealous" Michael clenched his jaw slightly at the last comment his cousin made.
