He didn’t finish, because he must have taken a good look at me, and his eyes widened in shock. It seemed like he’d recognised me, and so did a few other people on the dance floor. Damn it.
As I should have expected, my little mouthy nanny beat him to a response.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing, Spencer?” Laura yanked her hand from my grip, truly pissed. She sounded a lot more sober than she’d been on the phone earlier on.
“What does it look like? I’m rescuing you, so now be a good girl and head over to the bar,” I said, well aware that the idiot was already backing away.
Fuck, I was bringing too much attention to myself. Laura wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my employee, and I shouldn’t be acting like that, but I was too far gone at this point.
She must have noticed that people were staring, so she walked off while I pinched the bridge of my nose, reminding myself to breathe. I followed her, wanting to get a stronger drink. For some reason, I hated that this fucking wanker had put his hands on her. I was ready to castrate him.
I was just about to join my nanny at the bar when someone blocked my path. I only saw a mass of red curls and the face of a very pretty girl who was staring at me with daggers in her eyes. The very one who’d been dancing with Laura earlier on.
“Spencer Banks, where do you think you’re going?” She stood too close and tried to be intimidating, but this would not work on me.
My brows drew into a frown as I glared at her. She was small. I studied her further, and a feeling crept up on me that I had seen her somewhere before.
“Do I know you? Listen, I need to find someone, and you’re in my way,” I snapped at her and was just about to move past her, but she didn’t seem to get the message.
“Listen, pretty boy, I won’t move because I’m Laura’s roommate and right now I’m looking out for her. You will not follow her.” She moved even closer, probably because the music in this place was loud and she wanted me to hear her out, but then she poked my chest with her finger. “What the hell was that about on the dance floor?”
I gritted my teeth. My brother and the other guys were possibly wondering what the hell had happened to me. Besides, it was better that they didn’t see me with Laura tonight. I stared at the famous escort roommate who worked for Matthews. She was stunning, but her resting bitch face wasn’t doing anything to my cock.
“I was trying to protect her, and you shouldn’t have left her with that sleazy guy out there,” I ground out, still pissed off that I had to explain myself to this woman. “Laura drunk called me earlier on. She didn’t seem happy that you had left her on her own.”
She laughed before rolling her eyes.
“I've no idea what you are talking about. Why would she call you? Besides, Laura doesn’t need my protection, and that guy was perfectly all right. I vetted him myself. Laura went out because she needs to pull and shag a hot guy. So, Mr Prime Minister, go mind your own business and forget about her until Sunday,” she stated, still poking me with her finger.
Fuck me, she was pissing me right off. Surely, Laura couldn’t have thought that fucking some random guy from the club was acceptable.
I smiled at her and grabbed her finger so she would stop with her jabbing. Over my dead body would I let Laura leave this place with another man.
“I’m the fucking head of the country and I can ruin your life with one phone call, so back off because you’re getting on my nerves! Laura is my business. What she does may have repercussions,” I growled.
Veronica showed no sign of fear. Her golden eyes oozed challenge, as if daring me to make good on my threat. I needed to be done with this altercation right fucking now, so I could find Laura and talk to her. This whole thing was ridiculous.
“I don’t fucking care if you’re the King of fucking England. Laura doesn’t want to talk to you and that’s final. Stop messing with her. She doesn’t want you, but she needs this job—”
“Valerie? I mean, I should probably call you Veronica now right?” a voice behind me asked.
And Veronica’s face suddenly changed. Rupert came into view, Matthews and James standing next to him. Veronica took in a sharp breath before she turned around.
Rupert scratched his head as he took her in.
“Oh, hi, stranger, long time no see. I guess you saw the video. It kind of went viral,” Veronica said briskly, but her voice trembled. “What a nice surprise. What are you doing in here?”
“How the fuck do you know my brother, Spencer?” He sounded uncharacteristically enraged.
“Rupert, Veronica is one of my girls, and I think everyone has seen the video. It’s raving with millions of views,” Matthews explained.
His tone was worried, and I wanted to fucking scream. James watched all this unfold with an amused expression.
“Matthews, and you … hmm, Rupert.” She winked at my brother, then added, “Can you all give us a moment? I really need to finish talking to Spencer here.”
“She works for you?” Rupert asked Matthews in outrage.
I grabbed this opportunity to leave them all to it.
