chapter 20
The next morning, Olivia had got up very early because she was going to give her apartment a thorough cleaning as her weekend was going to be taken up because it had been announced that a party to celebrate the club’s Anniversary was going to take place and as she was working all week plus Saturday for the party, she was certainly going to be very tired on Sunday so she wanted to catch up. She had turned the music up loud, and fortunately the walls were thick enough to prevent any disturbance from the neighborhood. Her apartment doorbell had been ringing for a while, but since it was on full blast, she mistook it for the lively music. It was when the music ended that she heard the doorbell ring. She went to open the door and found her two friends in front of her really angry, which she didn’t understand at all. She paid them no attention and went back inside.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Ready to give her a dressing-down for her ignorance of them, Maggie moved forward very quickly without looking where she was stepping and slipped. Her bottom landed on the floor with a thud, which meant the pain was going to be intense.
-There’s soap on the floor, I was cleaning it up,” Olivia had said.
Maggie glared at her and held out her hand to Betty to help her up. When she was on her two feet, she limped over to the machine playing music and turned it off. Olivia stopped too and put her hands on her hips, questioning her with her eyes.
-You put down that squeegee and you come and put your butt here, Olivia Turner.
She huffed but only obeyed him. She dropped her squeegee and took off her gloves. She moved forward and sat down as she’d asked, Betty had a smile on her face since she’d arrived.
-Now tell us what makes you so radiant.
Olivia touched her face to see if there was any glitter on her face to make her glow like Maggie said, but she felt nothing. She shook her head frantically as she saw that the girls were already thinking about something else, but she had a way of avoiding the conversation.
-I don’t know what you girls are talking about, but I think that if you decided to interrupt my work so early in the morning, it wasn’t to check on my radiance but for something else, so I’m listening.
-Where were you yesterday, Oli?
-Yesterday I spent the whole day at my apartment and then I went to work, so I wonder why you’re asking me this question? do you suspect me of something?
-Yes, because we arrived at Le Bourget yesterday, but you weren’t there, and your colleague was there, so I gave him a kiss to tell me where you’d been, and he told us you’d gone to serve a customer and hadn’t come back. We decided to wait for a while, but you didn’t come back.
She flushed. She no longer knew how to escape this situation and Theo, too, she didn’t know she just needed a kiss to make him talk because if she’d known sooner, she’d have given him a kiss to shut him up.
-Yes, I just went to serve a customer and maybe you didn’t wait very long. You know there are often demanding customers, don’t you?
-Yes, you’re absolutely right, and I’d say it depends on how demanding they are, because from the way your eyes are shining, I’d say you’ve had quite a good night with this demanding customer, and I’d put my money on it being the same one as last time.
She stood up and poured herself a glass of water, desperate to extinguish the burning fire in her loins. Just mentioning this man already made her feel horny, and if the girls kept talking about him, she wasn’t going to last.
-Yes, you’re absolutely right, it was him and, like the other time, I really liked it. He was always so considerate with me during sex and that makes me feel special girls. He knows how to do it and all night long I didn’t sleep. I used to wonder how people got addicted to sex, but now I understand that it’s just really good when you do it with a partner who isn’t selfish.
-I hope you’re not falling in love, Oli.
-I’m not. I just like him, I just like the way he makes me feel and that’s it and we’ve said goodbye.
-Goodbye how?
– we’re never going to see each other again, it was our last night of sex and I think it’s better that way because he was going to end up driving me and the girls crazy.
Maggie didn’t believe her at all. She knew she just wanted to confide in herself that it was for the best, but you could tell she couldn’t take it, and she was sad enough as it was.
-Yesterday, when we arrived at Le Bourget, it was because Betty wanted to tell us something that she didn’t want to tell me alone, so I guess now that it’s just the three of us, she’ll talk.
They looked at her and, like a true model who knew how to attract attention before anything else, she did her manners which amused her girlfriends.
-tick-tock, tick-tock. James has agreed to take me back and I’m so happy, girls. The show is in three days and I hope you’ll be there. When I say three days, I mean Thursday at four o’clock and he promised to introduce me to one of those billionaires.
Olivia was very happy for her, but she couldn’t attend the fashion show because from that day on she’d be busy preparing the nightclub party with her colleague, and it was impossible for her to say no because she was too committed to her job.
-I’m really sorry Betty, I’d really like to come and see you at your very first fashion show, but it’ll be impossible for me to be there.
-Don’t worry, Oli, because after kissing your colleague to get him to spill the beans, he also invited me to the party, and I guess you’re in charge, so I understand, and there’ll be others.
She went to hug her. She was happy that he understood her perfectly.
