Chapter 30
After lots and lots of photos, The girls climbed in Ryan's car and drive away. If anyone was excited it was Melissa, she was just too happy for what she had no idea of.
"Omg!" Ryan squeak "I have 20 new followers" She shows her phone to Melissa, who w busy replying to comments "Is that me driving?".
Melissa giggled " Yep! When you were busy looking for ways to kill us".
Rosie chuckled, she looked at Melissa's face then Ryans. If not for the fact that they want to make things east, she would have given holding them against pulling each other's hair.
"Rosie Federico speaking" she absentmindedly answered her phone call "Leave a message".
"We have to meet someone in the next three minutes" Williams voice approximately roars "Bring me my red suit, I am in my brother's house".
She looked at Ryan through the mirror and Melissa that was beside her.
" My boss wants me to come over," She said looking into Ryan's eyes "We have to meet someone".
Ryan and Melissa starred at each other confused, not both were confused originally. Ryan was scared that Melissa could recognize the voice while Melissa was sad that Rosie won't be able to follow them to the club as they had planned.
Rosie stopped the car, she looked at Ryan who stepped out and took over the driving.
"Can't you call in sick?" Melissa asked, "Is this how working under someone feels like?".
"Ryan will take you alone," Rosie said"And working depends on the arrangement".
She nodded slightly looking at Ryan's face, who looked a little scared.
Melissa kept on staring at her as they drive off, the sad expression on Rosie's face kill all the hope she had about been independent when she would finally start working.
She imagines herself cruising with her imaginary friends than her boss calling her unexpectedly. The next she turns to look at Rosie she wasn't standing where she was, she must have flag down a taxi or someone comes to pick her up.
"Don't worry" Ryan Interrupted her fantasy "She was supposed to be at work today, just because she had a little argument with her boss and he suspended her for two days".
Melissa smiled, not that she was convinced that her new boss would be nice, but she might be able to cope with the person. Another thing she had in mind was that her boss won't be a woman, a man would be far reasonable.
At least she can lie over little things like calling sick or menstrual sickness. The idea of lying that she is sick because of her monthly period made her laugh.
"mind sharing?"
"I just imagine lying to my boss that I won't be able to come to work because my period is making me sick" Melissa bursts into laughter.
The disgusted look on Ryan's face made her even laugh the more, her eyes became stormy and her Mascara began to wash off.
"Not now!" Ryan yelled, "You are ruining the makeup, do you want to look like a mommy?".
" just know my new boss would prefer making me a bouncer" Melissa shutters "So I can scare out unwanted clients".
Although Ryan wasn't happy or in her best mood, she burst into laughter, she was so laughing that she began to hit the horn.
" Why the fuck are you making noise" Another driver yelled "If you wanna fly, go get yourself an airplane".
Ignoring the person wouldn't make her happy, she brought out her left hand and showed the person her middle finger.
"Fuck you too" The person yelled and drove away.
Melissa burst into laughter again, this time more than before. Her mascara melted and formed black tears lines on her freckled face.
"We are re-doing that makeup when we get there" Ryan laughed.
"We are so much doing it".
The club wasn't as noisy as Melissa had assumed, it even looked smaller and more like a bar. She walked hand in hand with Ryan who took her to the restroom.
"Have you ever had sex in a club lavatory?" Ryan smirked as she was repairing Melissa's makeup.
Melissa's face change shades, from the light foundation to darker shades of red. She placed her palm over her mouth and gasps.
"Are you trying to say you have never been dirty?".
" I have nearly had sex at the back of my mum's truck with my crush when I was still in high school" Melissa check out her dress "But he ran off".
" I lost my innocence in my father's car" Ryan whispered "He was the hottest kid in school and it was a dare" She arranged her makeup back into her pulse "You need to see the way I drew my name on his back".
" You mean you tattooed his back?" Melissa giggled "Did he cry?".
" He screamed like a girl" Ryan smirked as she took Melissa out of the restroom "He couldn't bear my full name on his back that he hates me so much. You know the sweetest part?".
" Tell me?".
"His parents were so religious and they refused to let him draw something on it".
Ryan suddenly began to enjoy Melissa's company. For a very long time, she has not had a nice conversation with anyone before. It's either she was talking to her Staffs, or one of her new fuck mates, or having another online CEO meeting with her father.
" Ryan Sanders" A middle-aged man called from behind "I am so glad you called".
Ryan walked to the man, at first she starred at him mute before she hugged him tightly, he kissed her both cheeks before looking at Melissa.
" Who is the fairy beside you?". He said.
"Uhm, Mr. Richard, this is my friend Melissa" She turned to Melissa "Melissa this is the boss we have been talking about".
" Hello sir" Melissa accepted his hands "Nice to meet you".
" The pleasure is mine" Mr. Richard smiled, he slowly brought her hand to his lips and kisses the back of her palm "You already look so beautiful for the job" He dials a number on his phone "Meet me at the back office".
Richard walked Melissa and Ryan into a room that have the notice " OUT OF REACH" boldly written on it. He pressed his thumb on the handle and without turning it, it open.
He chuckled as he heard Melissa gasps, he pushed the door open for them and bowed gently"Ladies first" He said, looking at Ryan.
Ryan scoffed, she hesitated before walking behind Melissa. The office brought nothing but memories she badly wish to forget.
Everything playing like it happened yesterday.
The only difference is that the office now has a very large television and just three chairs. Richard's picture was placed on the table next to another smaller one that had three faces, two young girls and a woman in the middle. Funny enough, it still had the same table with a small pink hair clip that looked so familiar.
Ryan recalled when she was spotted in that same table, door locked, her legs spread with Richard standing in the middle, thrusting deep and hard into her. It felt real, as she could feel his strong palm holding her firmly in place as she moan his name loud, pleading for more.
The next memory she had was when she was sitting at the same table, crying. She didn't want to tell Richard what the problem was because he knew he won't let her be. She thought she was too young as he was 16 and only came to Chicago for a summer vacation.
She begged her father to send her to Chicago because of Richard and how they claimed they loved each other. It was an abominable love, where her father haven't yet approved her of getting a boyfriend much more of someone the same age as him, someone that is his friend.
She couldn't forget when Richard held her tight against his chest, begging her to tell him what the problem was. But she couldn't, she did the only right thing her friend who was also her nanny told her to do.
Abort the baby!
She remembers her nanny's face smiling at her the day she got back from the quack nurse house, half dead.
Like how a mature brain would work, her nanny's face was linked to Rosie's face!
"Welcome honey" Richard smiled as he gently pushed her to the chair "Someone is waiting for me".
He kissed her forehead as the door opened, a young woman dressed in an ebony black jumpsuit walked in with an envelope.
"She will administrate the documents to you guys" He walked to the woman and touches her shoulder "Keep them happy, Rita".
Ryan kept looking at his back as he walked out. She doesn't understand how the first person she had loved and hates still has so much effect on her. She blinked back the tears that were tempting to roll down her face as she turned towards Melissa and Rita.
"What's the document about?" Her voice sounds hoarse.
