Chapter 24: Rumors has it
Victoria’s POV
“Hello Vicky, how are you?” I sucked a deep breath and felt at ease when I noticed the tone of his voice. “I’m fine, is everything okay?” I asked,
“Yes, I just want to see you about something really important.”
“Is she okay?” I inquired in fear.
“Yes she is fine, actually I have good news to share with you.”
“Good news?”. I asked, confused.
“Yes, but it involves money. Just be at the hospital by tomorrow, okay?”
“Yeah, I will.” I replied, “Alright, see you then.” he said those words and ended the call. I put my phone back in my pocket and made my way to the manager’s office.
I got to his door and knocked.
“Come in.” I walked into his office and saw him buried with papers on his table.
“Good day, sir.” I greeted him and stood by the door,
“Come closer.” he signaled his hand to me. I moved away from the door and took a step closer to him.
“How was your night?” he asked.
“Fine, sir.”, I replied.
He nodded his head while his eyes were still on the paper on his desk.
“I have given her a one-week leave to take care of herself, while you will fill up her place until she comes back to work.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I chewed my lips but did not say a word. “There will be no play tomorrow and next, so you can just work at the bar stand for the next two days.” he spoke firmly
“Yes, sir.” I responded
He stopped what he was doing and stared at me with curious eyes. “Do you have anything to say?” he asked.
I snapped my lips and shook my head, “No sir.” “Very well then, you can leave.” “Alright sir.” I said those words and left his office.
I went back to the bar stand and realized my shift was over.
“Vicky, where have you been?” I turned around and saw Sonia staring at me with curious eyes.
“I was at the managers’ office.” I murmured tiredly. “Alright, it’s time to go home.”
“I will have to change.”
I went into the locker room, picked up my clothes and changed to normal clothes before leaving the locker room.
“Let’s go.”
We left the bar stand and walked out of the club. ”I have already called a cab, he should be here by now.” Sonia spoke up as we stood outside the club’s gate.
“Thank you.” I murmured, stressed
“You are welcome.”
“I heard you worked at the playroom today.”, she asked,
“Yeah, and it is a long story. Let’s get home first.” I spoke tiredly.
“Alright, oh, he is here.” Sonia said those words as a taxi stopped in front of us. We entered the taxi and Within a few minutes we were home.
“Home sweet home,” I exclaimed tiredly, and lay on the bed with my back. “Seems you had a stressful day,” Sonia asked, bringing up a discussion. “Stressful as fuck.” I sighed and sat on the bed.
“You know there are rumors going around the workers in the club.” Sonia said those words while removing her shoes.
“What kind of rumors?”. I asked,
“Rumor has it that you might have slept with a big DOM for you to be able to work in the playroom.”
“That’s ridiculous.” I spoke in anger.
“I know.” She sighed and shook her head.
“That’s bullshit, I need to stop working there.” I muttered out angrily,
“And do what?” Sonia asked,
“Anything.” I murmured with a frown.
Sonia scoffed and fixed her gaze on me, “You know this is the best job we both can have at the moment. The pay is superb and we both have time for ourselves. If you stop this work, what will be the fate of her?” she asked.
Hearing those words from her, I knew she was right. I needed cash and this was the only job that could get me such an amount of cash.
“Listen Vicky, just endure. With time, we will get used to this job.” she assured me while I shook my head and stood on my feet. “You don’t know what I’ve been going through in that place.” I grunted in anger.
She scoffed and took off her clothes before wrapping a towel around her chest. “Believe me girlfriend, whatever you are going through can’t be compared with what I am going through, but you will never see me complain because I have a motive to be there.” she taps my shoulder and left for the bathroom.
I grumbled and took off my clothes,
Maybe Sonia was right, I just needed to endure and with time, everything would be fine. Within a few minutes, I took my bath and lay on the bed with Sonia.
“What happened in Eric’s father’s place?” Sonia asked in a sleepy voice, while I grumbled and shook my head. “That man hates me.” I spoke firmly, but she chuckled and eyed me with disbelief. “No werewolf can hate his mate.” she said those words like she was so sure of it.
“Well, I guess he is different, and he even has a girlfriend.”, saying those words, I remember the tired naked girl sleeping on his bed.
“Girlfriend?”. Sonia asked in disbelief.
“Of course, do you expect a man with such power and wealth to be actually single.” I asked.
“And I think he loves her.” I added
“How do you know he loves her?”she urged in disbelief.
“Because he told me himself.” I murmured, while She scoffed and closed her eyes. “Well, now that you are here, I think he will have to let go of that girl.” she said those words confidently before drifting to sleep, while I sighed and turned around. I checked the time and realized it was past 2am.
Tiredly, I closed my eyes, but all I could see was the naked body of Eric, his angry-looking set of green eyes and his rough voice that brought shivers to my body.
I groaned and opened my eyes in frustration, while I sat on the bed. Groaning softly, I ran my fingers through my hair in annoyance and anger because I knew tonight was going to be a long night.
