I laugh and rub my forehead

“What I don’t get is why?” Julian asks, shaking his head “What did you get out of it?”

I look at Marco, because I’m curious about that too

Before he can answer, the elevator doors open and Lola storht past us and over to Louis, her long, dark hair hanging halfway down her back

“You stupid fucking idiot”

She screa hi to callance at Julian All traces of humor disappear as he stares darkly at his fiancée

“Are you and Lola…?”

“I’?”

I watch her for a second, not sure what to say to hi? I think she did, but I don’t kno ht than horrified her brother and father were forcing women into prostitution

“It’s hard to tell,” I finally say

He’s silent for a lares at hi

“Can we talk?” he asks

“Talk?” she repeats, laughing in his face “What’s there to talk about?”

“Are you kidding hs

“Jesus, Julian, take the fucking hint,” Lola rants, throwing her ar on my mind at the moment”

“We’re getting married tomorrow” He frowns at her “Even if it’s not today—”

“Not today?” she laughs “Try not ever You think this e was real? Of course it wasn’t I said yes because I had to, becausea cop Keep your enemies closer and all that?”

I freeze, because she’s glaring at hs

“What? He’s not a cop,” he says, dis the idea as ridiculous

“Really?” Lola snarls “Are you sure about that?” She sighs and takes a deep breath “Just go, Julian You really don’t want to be anywhere near this fa a little deeper”

“You want one”

He turns around, his glare leveling on me I shift aardly

Shit

“He doesn’t look happy I’ he didn’t know you’re a cop?” Marco asks
