20: Hot Jerk
<<.Avery.>>
He paces towards the passenger seat and hops in while I still gape at him.
He wears the seatbelt and asks," I hope you are going to the hotel, Right?"
I nod and start the car, trying to focus. Something is odd. He is distracting me. What is it? His clothes,
or is it his voice?
It''s smooth. Too smooth. I feel a heat rush through my body.
What the hell is wrong with me? I think to myself as I turn the AC up.
It''s inappropriate. M made out with me barely an hour ago on that damn balcony. Am I still feeling
horny after that encounter and this jerk has nothing to do with it?
I am behaving like a stupid slut. Just like De said.
Fuck.
I take a deep breath and turn the radio on.
"Not much of a talker, I guess," he mutters.
"What were you doing here?" I ask him. "I hope you are not following me around."
He chuckles, then turns the volume of the radio a little down and says, "I... work here."
"You don''t seem so sure," I say.
"It''s a new offer. I still have time to ept. I was here with my boss to inspect the rooms."
"Offer for?"
"Interior designer... They want to renovate the hotel rooms. It will be an... extensive project."

Is this why he is staying at a hotel?
"So I guess you will find an amodation once you ept the offer."
"Yes," he says.
"What about you?" he asks.
"It was a family party."
"Then why are you staying at the hotel?"
"I.. live in New York now."
He hums.
I have an inkling sensation that I have heard his voice before. My heartbeat quickens as my mind
tries to figure out if he is M
Am I getting too desperate to find M?
I could simply ask him. But I like this game we have going. The game of the unknown. If this guy sitting in front of me is M. I am not sure if I will be happy or disappointed.
I eye him again, then realize he has seen me naked in his bed. Oh God! I will die of shame if he is
indeed M.
But Wait a minute. M literally had his fingers inside me a few hours ago. I think to myself and blush all over again. My head is jumbled with thoughts.
"What happened?" Hot Jerk asks.
I swallow hard and say, "Your voice seems too familiar."
He is not wearing any tie. M''s tie is in my purse.
"Are you hitting on me?" He smirks.
I roll my eyes at him. "I could drop you right here in the middle of the road, you
know. So stop being cocky." I say and heughs.
Hisughter is too familiar.

"What is your name?"
"Oh, God!" he says, trying to catch his breath afterughing.
"It''s Liam. Liam Hemsworth."
Hmm, No M or any kind of Miller.
He adds after a pause while checking something on the phone. "Although... I have been told my voice
is too simr to Noah.. that new singer... if you have ever heard about him." "Noah Miller?" I exim.
"Yup!" He says and out of the blue my phone rings on the car''s speaker.
We see the name on screen and he exims, "You know him?"
"Well, yeah..." I smile and answer the call.
And then I hear it. His smooth voice. "Hey Avery, How are you doing?"
"Hey Noah. I am good. I am sorry... but you are on the car''s speaker and I cannot talk business right
now."
I answer him, realizing the hot jerk''s voice indeed is too simr to Noah''s.
"Oh No problem as long as yourpany is not a reporter."
I look at Liam. uhmmm, I think I prefer to call him ''Hot-Jerk.''
I look at Hot Jerk and he says, "Hey Noah, big fan here... and No I''m not some paparazzi."
"Oh Wow. Thanks Man!" Noah says in surprise, not expecting the hot jerk to answer him. Noah adds. "Avery, I heard you are in California. How long are you staying there?"
"Barely a few days. Why? If you have anything, Lena can attend to you."
"No No... I... wow ummm I aming there... My brother lives there.. so was nning to stay in California for a while and shoot
some music videos around the
beaches and one in Las Vegas too. Sot was wondering if it would be possible for you guys to arrange these things, on such short notice?"
"Ooh," I say, bbergasted. "Yea sure. Let me talk to Lena and we will n something."

Looks like I will have to stay here for a while.
<<.Miles.>>
For some reason, I lose my ability to think around this girl. She almost recognized me. Liam wanted to go home sooner. Apparently, this is the honeymoon phase of his
↓
rtionship with my ex secretary
Emma and he is always on his toes
to get back home these days.
I told him I will catch a cab when I noticed he was getting a little desperate. It was
a bad decision to
ride along in his car.
When I saw Avery leaving the party, I couldn''t resist the pull. When I sat next to
her, she was eyeing
my tie and jacket. I almost fucked up.
God bless Noah for saving me.
We stay quiet for the rest of the ride while I think to myself what she wanted to talk
about?
I roll my eyes inwardly, thinking if I hadn''t taken this lift from her, maybe she would have called me.
When I pull out my phone to text her, I see a message from her under the pile of multiple unread
notifications.
How did I miss that?
My Buttercup: ''Hey M, There is a chance that I might have to tell my family about
the wedding.
My eyes widen, and I reply.
Me: ''I don''t want to go public.''
It will be a mess. Mom will literally kill me. And the gossip it would create!
Of course, she knows I essed the funds, but she doesn''t know how. She doesn''t know what was written in my part of The Will as it was only acknowledged to me and nobody was allowed to read or ess it. My grandfather was a genius. Even after death, he managed to keep the controversy
away.
As we reach the traffic stop, she picks the phone to read and replies. But I don''t
dare check it. She is already suspecting me. I don''t want to be so obvious. I have
to be more careful.
I smirk to myself. I am loving this game with her..

"So, are you nning to take this job?" she asks.
Why is she asking? Does she know somebody there?
"Not sure.."
"Are you married or something?"
"Are you looking for a boysister?" I smirk.
She rolls her eyes and answers. "Actually, I am looking for a husband."
I raise my brow at her and she chuckles.
"A fake one.. if you are interested. I can pay you well."
My lips twitch in amusement.
"And why do you think I am a suitable candidate?”
She nces me up and down. "You are good looking."
"d you noticed."
"and youck morals."
"Excuse me?" Yes, I dock morals, but she doesn''t know me enough to make
that guess. I am almost
offended.
She rolls her eyes. "Anybody can tell you are a hot jerk. Usually all desirable men
are........” She says ruefully.
"Anyway.. You are what can make my sister and my ex jealous. I really enjoyed
watching them
squirm at a party today. I would love to see some more of it."
Iugh. As we pull before the hotel, she hands me her card.
"Just think about it and let me know."
"Sure," I say and walk away from her.
I pull out my phone to see her message.

Avery: ''Oh, don''t worry. It''s not final but if it happens, I might have to hire a fake
husband or
something. Maybe pay somebody. But are you okay with it? It might hit headlines. Considering how
they are gossiping about me all over the media.''
I groan.
My face over the media is something I don''t want, even as a fake husband.
Although I am really curious how much would she pay me if I agree to do the job.
Would she pay me half of the monthly fortune? I would love to push that button in Avery Collins.
