As mother and daughter sat still for their pedicure session, Evelyn looked at Jade, "She seems like a nice person," Evelyn said, and without asking, Jade knew her mother was referring to Aurora. "Yes, she is." "And she is very beautiful and pleasant too. I can see why you are so worried about their date," Evelyn said, and Jade rolled her eyes. "I'm beautiful and pleasant too, and I'm not bothered about their date anymore. I'm just going to relax and let things play out naturally," Jade said, and Evelyn…-

Anita frowned as she looked at Lisa, "Say it," she said with a sigh, knowing that Lisa had a lot she wanted to say. "You are leaving a good job because you are unnecessarily, and stupidly proud and stubborn. I'm not going to stop from quitting your job if that is what you want. Do what you please with your career. I know mother acts like she has all the right connections in the world so you must feel untouchable, but trust me when I say it is better for you to be friends with Tom and Lucy than to make…

Anita pasted a smile on her face as she watched Lisa and her husband walk down the stairs to join her in the living room where she had been waiting for them since the housekeeper let her into the house. "Hello, Anita. It's been a while," Lisa's husband greeted cheerfully. "How is my favorite brother-in-law doing?" Anita asked, and Ron grinned. "Don't let your mother hear you. I'm certain if she had her way she would want even my angel to hate me and probably divorce me," Ron said, and Lisa slapped his…

Once Lucy walked into the VIP room where Aurora was to attend to them, she picked up her handbag and headed for the door, but before she could leave, Tom walked in. "Where are you going?" Tom asked, and Lucy turned to him, her face flushed and her gray eyes still blazing with anger. "Home. I'm done here. I'm going home," Lucy stated simply. "But we are yet to get the massage and skinca...." "Do I look like I'm in the mood for any of that right now? Maybe you should have thought of that carefully before…

When Lucy waited for some seconds, and Anita didn't sit, she shrugged dismissively and went on as she faced her audience, "Yes, it is true that Anita dated Tom before me," Lucy admitted and waited for the ladies to silently judge her with their eyes as she knew they would. "It is also true that I pretended to be her friend. I never cared about being friends with her. There wasn't a single thing I liked about her," Lucy said with a careless tone she could only have gotten from Sonia. "What is not true,…

As Tom and Lucy approached the reception area, they both stopped in their track in surprise when they saw Evelyn and Jade standing in front of Anita. Since Evelyn and Jade were backing them, neither Tom nor Lucy made any attempt to alert them of their presence. Instead, they watched them, wanting to know what was going on. "Go on. I'd like to hear the story you told these gullible fools. Tell me exactly how Lucy snatched my son from you," Evelyn demanded harshly while some of the ladies who didn't know…

Evelyn and Jade, who had walked into the reception area of the salon shortly after Aurora left to join Tom and Lucy in the VIP room, were now seated in the backseat behind the ladies, whispering amongst themselves excitedly. At the same time, they waited for Aurora to come back and give them feedback on the task they had assigned her. Neither of the ladies paid attention to the new people who had joined them as they resumed their gossip. "Have you been here before?" Jade asked Evelyn since it was her…

Anita seethed in her seat beside her sister as they listened to some of the other ladies around them gossip about Lucy and Tom, and how beautiful and lucky she was to get a man like Tom. They were all seated there waiting for their turn, while Tom and Lucy were receiving such special treatment. Of course, Anita had heard all about the VIP room, and it was reserved only for the one percent of the one percent in the society. That meant not just anyone could go in there, yet here she was, and a nobody like…

"I was napping when you called. I really don't think it's a good idea to do this today," Anita complained as she got into Tiffany's car who had been waiting outside her apartment to take her to the beauty spa as their mother had instructed. "Yeah, I thought so too. You know, I told mother there was no hurry, and you could get it done within the week instead of today, but she insisted you get it done today. And her logic sort of made sense. Never leave for tomorrow what you can do today. You might end up…

How could he say he would end whatever was between them if she showed up at his date with Aurora? Did that make any sense? How could his meeting with Aurora be more important than what they shared? Jade mused as she lay on her bed belly-down with her chin resting on both hands as she stared at the basket of flowers he had sent. Wasn't Harry being too harsh with her? Besides, he had been there when she suggested a double date, so it wasn't supposed to be a big deal, was it? Why did Harry have to be so…
