Abbey Chase
Abbey was shocked, absolutely gobsmacked by this revelation. "You are all his 'slaves'!?!" she exclaimed "This job is about Mr. Harris trying to turn me into one of his 'slaves'?!? Because he 'chose me'?!!". Abbey looked furious as she added "How impossibly presumptuous of him to decide that after all the work I've put into my studies, into getting into UC Berkeley, into being the valedictorian of my class, into having a vision of where I want to go in life, that wanted to be a model and working hard to get there, that after ALL THAT I should simply be made into someone's personal play thing, existing only for his pleasure."
Abbey stops for a moment and then adds "I took the job because it paid impossibly well. I took the job because it was a means to an end in terms of helping me achieve MY DREAMS, not someone else's dream. And when you say 'chose me', this implies that he knew about me long before I showed up for that interview..." And after another pause she would add "And you think it's the 'highest honour' anyone could get?.... You think being someone's latex slave is a high honour? For me, the highest honour is winning a Nobel Prize or winning an Oscar, or writing a Pulitzer winning book. For me, the highest honour is being recognized for my intellect and my skill, not for my cup size or how wide I spread my legs."
Looking at Ashley she continues "I mean, look at you! You're smart, you're beautiful, you're certainly capable and definitely desirable. Is being his latex slave the pinnacle of your life's achievement? What happens when you grow older, when you are not so young? Is Mr. Harris going to trade you in for the younger model? Given his billions, he can certainly do that without hesitation. How quickly do you think you'll fall out of favor once he gets bored of you?"
"And Astrid never really talked about Mr. Harris in our private conversations at all. How come, merrily a day and a half after professing her love for me, she's suddenly his pet? Mr. Harris may have a magnetic personality, but no one suddenly decides to be a slave like that, like someone just flicked a switch." Looking suspicious, Abbey asks "Did you drug her?" Abbey suddenly felt quite worried for Astrid, this cloud suddenly coming over her as she suddenly feared that she might have left poor Astrid behind, helpless...
