You?” Her chuckles turn into raucous laughter. “And stop trying to make a mean face like you’re an actual gangster. You’re not. You think I don’t know Cassie only keeps you around to be her boy toy? You’re a joke. Why are you even getting in my face? Oh no… did she tell you that you’re in charge?”
Lonergan smirks. “That’s right. I am.”
Nikki presses a finger to his lips. “Ssh, shh. No. You’re not. At best your role is to be a puppet she sends orders to. What this place needs is a fresh vision while Cassie’s away, not a himbo like you poorly implementing hers. It needs me.” Nikki sneers at Lonergan. “So here’s what’s gonna happen. I’m gonna call the shots here from now on, and you won’t tell Cassie a damn thing.
Her voice drops to a whisper. “And if you do, I’ll tell her you put your hands on me. All over me. You just got so… pent up and frustrated without her being around to use you in the ways she does.” Nikki giggles. “And we both know she’ll believe me over you. I mean, you’re her boytoy, yet she left you behind. She must have a new toy now. That means your value is low. And me and Cassie may not always see eye to eye, but you and I both know she’d kill a worthless moron like you without hesitation if she even suspected you took advantage of her poor, wayward little sister.”
Lonergan turns pale. “F-fine. Do what you want. I won’t tell Cassie a thing.”
Nikki grins. “Good boy. Now fuck off.”
With a smile, Nikki then skips away, back toward Sheila and Spirit with the bottle of rum and some shot glasses. Then she grabs some beers from under the counter. “Let’s get wasted!”
