chapter 103
Maggie had gone to Olivia’s house but hadn’t found her at all, which made her worried. She’d been talking about a party lasting one evening, not a whole year, so she needed to find her very quickly. She remembered that Betty was there too and when she called her to ask about Olivia, she informed her that she was on her way to Olivia’s house, which she didn’t understand at all. It was worrying and she was waiting for her to come and tell her why she was picking her up so early in the morning, even though they’d spent the evening together.
As she whirled around for a moment, she heard the door open and saw Betty with a slightly angry expression on her face. She couldn’t understand why she was so angry, and if she was angry because of Olivia, then she was glad she wasn’t there to suffer it.
-May I ask why you seem angry?
-Olivia, where is she? I want to talk to her now.
-You seem like a girl whose best friend has fucked her boyfriend, but the only reason I called you earlier was because I wanted to know what happened last night, since Olivia hadn’t come home yet, even though it was quarter past ten.
Betty looked at her and was surprised that she hadn’t arrived yet. So she understood that she had left the party before her and hadn’t even bothered to tell her she was leaving. She shook her head from side to side, trying to process this. Damon had disappeared and so had she, he’d made her believe he wasn’t with her and Martin didn’t seem to know where she was, so it was more than a little strange.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
-What’s going on, Betty?
-I didn’t see her before I left yesterday and I guess she disappeared hours before. I thought she was with her boss, but he said she wasn’t with him, so I’m confused. I wonder where she could have gone and with whom.
At these words, a smile broke out on Maggie’s lips, which Betty noticed but she was already too angry to play guessing games so she just waited for her to finish laughing to tell her what made her happy.
-But what if she had found her mysterious stranger, most likely, it was this man who had directed her to Damon Dixon’s business, so if he happened to be her friend, there was a good chance he’d be at the party.
Betty was jealous to realize that Olivia had certainly been able to take advantage of this privilege, but she quickly pulled herself together. Her objective was Damon Dixon and nobody else, so she didn’t see why she was jealous. On the contrary, she felt it was good for her because if Olivia hadn’t come home yet, it would mean she’d been able to see the man’s face and if he really was a friend of Damon’s, she was going to find a strategy to get him to help her be with Damon by playing Olivia’s perfect best friend. At these thoughts, she bit her lip, nodding positively.
-Can I know what you’re creating in your head, Betty?
-I don’t understand you, and since when do you get into people’s heads to find out what they’re up to?
-I know about your obsession with Damon Dixon and I hope you’re not going to use Oli to your own ends again. I don’t support what you’re doing Betty and it’s not right at all. Olivia is very kind I admit but stop using her kindness as a weakness on her part to manipulate her you want.
-But I’m not sticking a knife in her neck as far as I know, so stop being so protective of her. I’m just an ambitious girl, something you both miss so when I get to the top, I’ll still be there for you girls I promise.
Maggie huffed, rolling her eyes. This girl was really crazy and her obsession with money made it seem like she was losing her mind. She hadn’t known it like that at all, but ever since she’d started modeling, her dreams had been so much bigger that she knew even two successive lifetimes wouldn’t allow her to realize them.
-You were at that party for a specific purpose, if I’m not mistaken.
-Yes, but this man is blind and I’ve noticed that I’ve got a rival, and the worst thing is that she works for him, so she’s got every chance of seducing this Stephanie.
Still happy,” Maggie would have liked to retort, but she kept it to herself so as not to make Betty’s anger explode.
