Monique had told me that Nora came to work as usual last night so she hadn’t quit. I wasn’t sure if this was good or bad. The jury was definitely still out. I wasn’t used to tolerating shit from the women I fucked, and I had no clue how to handle this.
There was a knock at my door and Kirill came in, holding a tablet. His face was as solemn as I’d ever seen it. “We need to talk.”
I took a deep breath, bracing myself. “What is it?”
He held out the tablet to me. “It’s about your little honey bun. She’s not who she says she is.”
I know.
I took the tablet and stared at it. “What’s this?”
I watched as Nora walked down a corridor. I recognized it as the corridor to my office. She looked from left to right as if making sure she was alone.
Too bad she didn’t look up.
I was almost disappointed at her carelessness. She took something out of her pocket and then reached for the door. I could see her surprise when she pushed the door and it opened. She didn’t waste any time slipping into my office though.
The camera changed to the one inside my office. I watched as she rifled through my desk with frantic energy. Whatever she was looking for, it wasn’t there. Her disappointment was palatable. The video cut off abruptly.
I looked up at Kirill, eyebrow raised. “Where’s the rest of it?”
“Oh uh… well your sister came in the room, and she pretended to be standing around. There’s nothing of interest there. But the point is, you see now that she’s up to no good right? Probably a Fed.”
“A Fed? You got that from her rifling through my desk?”
“Well it ain’t the local cops. Don’t you have the Chief of Police in your pocket?”
“Who said she has to be law enforcement?”
“Papa, what else could she be? She came in here, asking the girls questions, rifling through your desk… the whole thing is suspicious. I heard she even asked Marci how to get in your bed. She planned all this. You see that, right?”
“Planned all of what, exactly?”
“Who knows? The night she arrived, our meet went bust, remember? What if it was a set up?”
“You don’t think that’s reaching?”
“You’re the one who says there’s no such thing as coincidence.” He stepped closer, his eyes intent on me. He was shifting from foot to foot, so eager to convince me. But something inside of me remained unconvinced. It wasn’t even my libido. Yeah, for sure, she was hiding something from me, and I was gonna find out what it was. But I didn’t think it was that she was a cop.
If she were one, she was the most inept one I’d ever dealt with. And I’d dealt with a few. For one thing, why would she be working at a hospital as a day job? And for another thing, if she was a cop, wouldn’t she have jumped at the chance to move in with me instead of throwing her phone in oncoming traffic like a brat?
Things were just not adding up.
“Look Papa, I know she got under your skin. Let me take care of this for you.”
I glared at him, and he took a step back. “Thanks for the offer, Kirill. But I’ll deal with this myself.”
He nodded, bowing his head. “Yes, Papa.”
I asked that I be notified as soon as anyone saw Nora enter the club. Not even thirty minutes later, I got a call from security saying she was in the building.
“Bring her to me,” I said.
I sat down behind my desk and waited, tapping out a tune on the mahogany. I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to do less than interrogate this woman. But Kirill was right about one thing: Nora was hiding something, and it was high time I found out what.
One of the guards brought her to me, her face already flushed with anger. She barely waited for the guy to leave before she turned on me. “Don’t worry, I just came to collect my stuff.” Her viciousness was unwarranted.Iwas the one who had the right to be mad. Not her.
“Did you? I don’t remember firing you.”
