“You didn’t mention that you had a girlfriend on the outside.” Hart almost sounded as if he was accusing Cillian of something and Viv could feel the tension rolling off his big body.
“I just met Viv yesterday. I will be working at her diner,” Cillian said.
Hart tried to look around Cillian to where she stood in the doorway, but he blocked the parole officer’s view with his big body. “You do know that he is a felon, right Miss Ward? I took the liberty to run your background check and you’re clean—squeaky clean. Why would you associate with a known felon?” Now it was Viv’s turn to be pissed. She sidestepped Cillian and stood almost chest to chest with his parole officer.
“You had no right to run my background check,” she growled. “Furthermore, it’s none of your fucking business what is happening between Cillian and me. I knew who he was when I hired him.”
“And, how about when you fell into bed with him—did you know who he was then?” Hart asked. She could tell he was trying to make Cillian angry but why? He was certainly taking the bait. He was crowding the parole officer and she thought for sure Cillian was going to hit him.
“He’s not worth it,” she said, trying to get him to stand down. “Let’s just go inside and have breakfast. You have Cillian’s new address, Mr. Hart. I’d appreciate a heads up if you plan on stopping by my residence and for the love of God, come during normal business hours and not before I’ve had my coffee.”
“I’ll have my eye on you, James,” Hart called after him as she tried to drag Cillian into her house.
“Good to know,” Cillian called back over his shoulder, just before he slammed the front door in Hart’s face.
