Rage

Getting back home, Mila dropped the bag of money with the security of the apartment downstairs, begging the man to keep it safe as she would collect it later.

Mila had promised Zyran Montclair that she would keep his secret, and the first step in doing that was by telling Ashley a lie.

Once Mila entered the room, Ashley jumped down from the bed, pushing a pillow down in the process.

"How did it go? Did you meet him?" She buzzed, her eyes lit up with curiosity.

Mila inhaled deeply, trying to conjure a lie in the spur of the moment. She reached for her hair and twisted it slowly.

"I met him... and he said he wasn't the one in the room that night," she lied.

Ashley kicked the air and cursed, "Fucking bad luck! It must have been one of his bodyguards or a nobody even! What are we going to do now?" she asked worriedly.

Mila raised her shoulders, "I don't know," she removed her shoes. "I just need to sleep right now."
