LOGIN"Oh... and I'm using him for the multi-million dollar monthly allowance and the absolute state-of-the-art protection, too," I add, pointing towards Carlton before turning on my heel to walk away."You're just a filthy cheater!" he yells after me, his voice cracking."I never even agreed to break up with you!"I stop dead in my tracks. I turn around slowly, looking him up and down with total disdain."So you honestly expected me to stay with a man who can’t even locate my clitoris or give me a single orgasm, but had the absolute audacity to blame his sexual incompetence on my body size?"Johnny's face drains of all color. He looks like he’s been struck by lightning."He'll get tired of you!" he screeches, completely humiliated. I give him a casual nod."Sure. And until then... I'm going to go get another world-class orgasm."I turn around and stride directly toward the car. Out of the corner
He tries to scramble for a technical question to trip her up."Fine. A high-value client wants a premium perfume for a partner who is highly allergic and sensitive to strong scents. What do you suggest?""Is the partner male or female?""Male.""Something ozone or aquatic. I see you have the LV imagination and also Boadicea Aqua on display behind the glass; that possesses a hypoallergenic synthetic base. It’s a perfect suggestion."Johnny swallows hard, his jaw tightening but he maintains his professional stance. "Why should we employ you over anyone else?""I'll act as both the sales representative and handle the primary cash ledger. Considering you're offering a baseline fee that barely covers a single standard shift, I think you'll find it exceptionally difficult to find someone as over-qualified as me who will accept those terms."Johnny stares at her for a long, agonizing beat before casting a malicious look in my direction. "Fine. You can start next month. Eleanor here will t
An hour later, after surviving a long trickle of afternoon clients, Johnny steps back out to the floor. I immediately ambush him."Why won't you just employ one of them?"He stops, looking at me with lazy indifference. "Beat me.""Johnny, please.""It's not like you're actually that good at your job," he says, stepping closer, his voice dropping into that familiar patronizing tone. "Maybe you've been intentionally sending me incompetent applicants just so I can beg you to stay."I furrow my brows, completely baffled by his delusion. "What?""You want me to see how important you are, don't you? This whole stunt- bringing in Banks, threatening to leave, it's just your cunning little way to make me value you."I let out a harsh, exhausted breath. "Johnny, you are being profoundly unreasonable."He reaches out, his fingers clamping tightly around my upper arm. "Listen to me."Before Carlton can even take a step, my instinct kicks in. I drive a sharp jab right into Johnny's ribs. He g
ELEANOR POV"She's too short.""Selling perfume doesn't require height, Johnny!" I lash out, my hands gesturing wildly around the boutique."It sure does," he counters smoothly. "Or are you going to come back and pay out of pocket when she's unable to reach the top shelf and breaks a bottle of imported Chanel?""Do you even hear yourself?!" I am past screaming. I am practically tearing down the shop with my pacing while he relaxes into his chair, a half-eaten bowl of ice cream resting on the counter in front of him."Are you trying to stop me from resigning? Because heaven knows if I complete this week, I'm leaving regardless of whether you have a body in this chair or not!""You just think you're important, Eleanor, but you're—""SHUUUUUUUT UUUUUUP! I am so sick and tired of you!" I roar. "That was the last person from the hiring firm, and you still didn't employ her!""It's not my fault you're dim-witted and only select—"Johnny starts to rise, but Carlton steps directly into his li
Anthony's voice pull me out. I forgot he's sat beside me"Didn't you come with your car, why are you here?" I question dismissively with my gaze on screen. She looks small, overwhelmed by the sudden storm that just passed through her home. Her hair neatly tucked away in a silk bonnet. She looks so incredibly fresh, clean, completely untouched by the dirt of the corporate world I inhabit. She stands there for a moment, her mind visibly working, connecting the pieces. "I can't let the strain between us expand" I roll my eyes. My eyes remain on my goldmine while my brain scream she texts me.Eleanor is a yapper and I enjoy when she texts me what she wants, see or notice. Like this moment, It's only a matter of time before she texts me about how great the massage was then yap on about how weird it ended and i'll act innocent because she doesn't need to know.Moreover, she'll question... Slowly, her head turns. Her large, expressive eyes track across the room, searching the ce
Eleanor enters the bedroom.The contrast between her and the venomous women in her room is staggering. She looks stunning, soft. Her skin flushed a delicate, healthy pink from the heat of the massage."I feel so free and better," She praises with a smile. Her voice carrying a genuine note of happiness that makes something tight in my chest loosen just a fraction.She is beaming. Her eyes bright and clear."Our pleasure," Fera replies smoothly, her professional mask slipping right back into place without a hint of guilt."You look pretty" The second masseuse say, Fera looks aside, hiding an eyerollthen her phone buzzes on the center tableShe takes it up, reads the screen, and the effect is instantaneous. The smug, elitist arrogance vanishes from her expression.Her face loses its color completely, turning a pasty, terrified white. Her knees give out entirely, and she drop
