CHAPTERTHIRTEEN
NORA
Alarge shape came to stand beside me at the bar. I turned, already sighing with tiredness to tell them I was off duty when my eyes landed on the guy from Alexei’s office. He was watching me and smiling.
“That was a cool performance,” he said in a slightly Russian accent.
“Thanks.”
“I’m Kirill by the way.”
“Nora.”
“Yeah, I know. Boss’ new toy.”
I both blushed and frowned, flustered and confused by his words.Toy?
“I beg your pardon?”
He laughed. “Come on, I saw you guys in his office. Y’all were getting hot and heavy, weren’t you?”
I gave him a challenging stare. “Why don’t you ask your boss?”
He threw back his head and laughed. “No wonder he likes you. You got some moxie in you.”
I quirked an eyebrow, taking a sip of my water. “Thank you?”
“Anyways, I’m here to tell you that the boss wants to see you in VIP.”
My heart immediately began to race. “Why?”
He gave me a side-eye. “Why do youthink?”
He was beginning to annoy me. “Look, despite what you might think, our relationship isn’t like that.”
He made a skeptical sound, eyebrows raised, a slightly amused lilt to his mouth. “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, he still wants to see you.”
“Fine.” I let go of my glass and made to walk away. He grabbed my hand.
“You should know… the girl before you, she was discarded like yesterday’s news. No notice, no nothin’. You know why?”
He was holding my arm so tight it hurt. I looked up, met his eyes. “No. But I’m sure you’re going to tell me.”
He smiled cynically. “Cause she fell for him. So, watch yourself.”
Yeah, no chance of that. That guy might have had my sister killed.
“Thanks for the warning but like I said…” I shrugged. “We don’t have that kind of relationship.”
He snorted derisively before letting go of my arm. I walked away as quickly as possible while trying to not make it seem like I was running away. There was just something about that guy that made me itch. The guy guarding the VIP section blocked my way at first.
“I’ve been summoned by the boss,” I said.
He peered into my face, seemed to recognize me, nodded, and stood back, unhooking the velvet rope. I stepped into VIP.
