Chapter2

She may be a whore.

Irritating.

That’s the first word that pops into my head when I think of Avani.

Annoying is another word.

She has been with me for two weeks and is already the most aggravating person I know. I’m not sure how that is possible because I know some incredibly aggravating assholes.

She was meant to be at work two hours ago—two fucking hours—I guess my brother forgot to mention she is always fucking late.

I have a thing for punctuality.

I am never late.

Yet she has a knack for it I have never experienced before, and it’s pissing me off. To. No. End.

I don’t make a habit of killing women. But for her, I might make a damn exception. She’s lucky she’s good at her job, otherwise, I would fire her ass.

I bang on her door, but she doesn’t answer, so I try calling her again.

Still no fucking answer.

“Hello?” I spin around to see a cute little brunette standing in the doorway. She has a towel wrapped around her body as she looks up at me. “Can I help you””

Fuck! Is this even her apartment, or is she lying about that too?

Little fucking brat.

“I was looking for Avani,” I say. She glances over her shoulder before looking back at me with her nose scrunched up.

“She left a while ago. Don’t know where. Don’t care.” She shrugs.

So she does live here. Interesting.

“You are her…” I trail off.

“I’m her roommate.” Her eyes rake over me. “You are?”

“Her boss.”

Straightening her back, she smiles. “I figured she was lying when she said she had a job.”

“You did, did you?” I ask, stepping closer. “You just assumed, with all her expensive bags, she works for free?”

“I figured she was a whore, that’s about it.”

I nod, smirking. “Goodnight,” I tell her, turning away and heading for the exit.

“What was your name?” the girl yells. I smile at her over my shoulder, then keep walking.

My phone rings when I hit the sidewalk, and when I see Avani’s name flash on my screen as I open the car door, I swear.

“Where are you?” I bark at her.
