“Do I want to know?” Vlado asked after Evan left.
“Arnold kept calling Evan that night you cockblocked me. So he’s the first blocker, you were the second.”
“There’s more to this story if you’re involved.”
I smirked. “I may have answered the phone and pretended like I had Evan tied up and gagged so he couldn’t answer. Worked like a charm.”
Vlado laughed. “That sounds about right. And I know for a fact I didn’t cockblock you. I just paused things for a bit.”
“Did Ev tell you?”
He shook his head. “It’s my job to know everything he does. I know he went into your room, and he left a while later. Whatever happened isn’t my business, but I can put two and two together.”
“Excuse me?”
I turned to find a guy in a suit next to me. He was around Evan’s age and attractive, but he was clearly drunk. “Yes?”
“How much?” he asked, his words slurring a bit.
“How much what?”
“For you.”
Vlado stepped closer.
“I’m sorry?” I glanced around to make sure no one in our vicinity was close enough to hear.
“You’re the hooker Evan hired, right? How much for someone else to get a go at you?”
“You need to take a step back,” Vlado said, his voice eerily calm and cold.
“Why?” The guy waved his hands erratically. “Am I wrong?”
“So wrong,” I started.
“So you’re not a hooker?” he demanded loudly.
Several heads whirled in our direction.
“Why do drunk people lose their volume control before their ability to say stupid shit?” I muttered.
“Time to go.” Vlado stepped in front of me.
“What’s going on?” Evan appeared beside me, his hand on my back and his voice as gruff as Vlado’s.
“Nothing.” Drunk guy grinned, oblivious to just how close he was getting to an ass kicking. “Just asking how much Nicky here charges for a night.”
“His name is Nick.” Evan stepped in front of me so both he and Vlado blocked me from the asshat. “And you will apologize for insulting him.”
“But Angelica said she saw him at Em’s party. That he was part of the entertainment.”
“You need to leave. Now.”
My eyes circled the room. Fucking perfect. We had an audience, and it was only going to get bigger the longer this went on.
“Ev,” I said softly, leaning close to his ear. “Let me handle this.”
I squeezed between him and Vlado. Evan didn’t say anything. I took his silence as a sign to continue.
