That lil fiancé of his, her hair might be bad…but I know her cat probably got him sprung.
Gross.
Come out.
Staring at my phone, my thumb hovered, feeling my sister’s judgement from the other end.That’s so far. There’s traffic.
All I could think of was binging my next show, and drinking up some good wine before bed.
I haven’t seen you in nearly two months. Please come out.
The sad face emojis did it. Guilt started to set in and I finally agreed. I finished typing up my long email relaying to the owner of a car company— that DeLuca Tech was interested in purchasing— that we would like to schedule a meeting for the first of the year. Rolling my neck and giving a slight stretch I was just about to stand when the hottest guy I’d ever seen in my life approached. I was only slightly startled when I remembered Henry our night security was about to come on shift.
“Hi,” he nodded.
His head was closely shaved and one of his dark brows was pierced. He had on a hoodie beneath a leather jacket.
“Mmm, hi, how can I help you?”
“I was hoping to catch Mr. DeLuca before he left,” he smiled again, and I noticed how white his teeth were.
My body was responding because the guy was very good looking. His eyes were a dreamy brown, and his lips were a little on the full side. Tattoos peeked from under the t-shirt he wore.
Nice for biting, I thought.
“Really?” I had to snap myself out of a stupor.
“Yeah, I called last week and the assistant, said I could stop in and speak with him,” the guy started to look around.
Shaking my head, I blew out a breath. “That was Penny. She doesn’t usually fill this role, I’m Mr. DeLuca’s assistant. I was out of the country last week.”
“Yeah, it was about a job interview. It was for a tech position they have open.”
“Mr. DeLuca’s left for the day and I didn’t have any notes about it when I came in on Monday,” I bit my lip and watched as disappointment crossed the guys face.
“Damn,” he let it slip. “Just my luck.”
“I’m sorry,” I told him.
“It’s alright. My names Tobias by the way,” he extended his hand.
I shook it. “Nice to meet you, I’m Nora.”
“Well Nora,” he turned and started backing away. “I guess I’ll be seeing you around if I can get that interview set back up, maybe even get the job.”
He gave a wave and departed. My phone dinged again as I gathered my jacket from the back of my chair and I saw that Rain was telling me I’d better have my ass on the way. Making a face, I texted her back and headed out into the chilly air of the parking deck. My black Porsche sat waiting.
Traffic had been a nightmare but I arrived at Noir and parked relatively close. Rain came out to meet me, and she was a shivering mess despite the blue and white sweater dress hugging her curvaceous figure. My sister had a better body than me and she knew how to use it.
“You could’ve stayed inside,” I told her as she hugged me.
“Girl, it is to many women going missing round here lately.”
“What?”
“Yes, baby girl Seattle got themselves a little serial killer running around on the loose. Another body was found about two hours ago.”
A shiver caught me and we started walking to the club. I looked over my shoulder and made sure that my Porsche was locked up. I only felt secure when I saw the lights flash to let me know she was locked up good and tight.
