Genevieve Marshall heaved a sigh as she made her way back to the lounge. Sheâd just gotten through working with a most difficult client and she needed a break. The girl sheâd been working with was a real piece of work â a typical upper-class bitch. It was the sort of girl sheâd spent her entire life trying not to be like. And as far as she was concerned, had succeeded in accomplishing. The girl sheâd been helping was getting ready for a gala being hosted by her father, a fairly influential politician in the area. Given who her father was, she felt herself entitled to the works and then some. Not giving a shit as to how she treated anyone or how stupid it made herself appear to others. It was obvious she knew that none of them, Genevieve included, would say anything to her about it.
The brat of a girl had Genevieve running to and fro gathering dresses each time she decided to change her mind. Which was often. And again for coffee or water or whatever she felt like she needed when the moment struck her. Of course, everyone could tell that the girl was acting that way because she could. The whole thing made Genevieveâs blood boil. Like the bitch, she too came from a well-off family, a family with a lot of influence. If the girl had realized who she was working with, she probably wouldâve been different towards her. Or, at the very least, been a bit nicer than she had been.
Genevieve flopped down onto a chair and let out a loud exhale.
âThat bad?â came a girlâs voice, a hint of laughter in its tone.
âYouâve no idea.â
âThat does it,â the girl began. âWeâre taking you out tonight, Gen.â
Gen winced, âUh, I donât think so. Mind if I pass?â
âNo way, girl. You pass way too many times. Youâre coming out tonight with me, Elise and Amy.â
âSylvia, Iâ¦â Gen tried to say.
âNo. Thereâs nothing you can say to get yourself out of this.â Sylvia just smiled, a wicked sort of grin. âBesides, itâs Friday. Live a little.â At that, she stood up and patted Genâs shoulder and went back to work in the front of the boutique.
Gen sunk into her chair feeling annoyed that she couldnât come up with a good excuse. Sylvia had totally taken her off guard and by now had already told Elise and Amy of her plans for the evening. She liked Sylvia well enough, but she and the other girls at the boutique could be wild at times and sometimes that made her a bit uncomfortable. She just hoped that this night wouldnât be one of those nights.
Standing up and looking at herself in the mirror, Gen straightened out her skirt and then her dark wavy hair, her blue eyes flashing a little, ready for whatever she had to face out in the front room.
