Cheating with my boyfriend's best friend novel (Olivia and Aaron) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

That night, Aaron seemed preoccupied with something. Instead of pestering me nonstop before bed like he usually did, he squeezed me close to him like a pillow all night.

I’d rather be Aaron’s pillow than have him folding me up like a pretzel in various sex positions, so I didn’t complain. After all, Cinder and I were planning to go skiing the next day.

But to my shock, during breakfast the next morning, Cinder suddenly announced, “I’m a little tired today, I don’t want to ski.”

She blinked over at me. “Olive, why don’t we go shopping instead?”

I’ve never really liked shopping, and there was a big financial gap between me and Cinder, so I couldn’t shop at a lot of the stores she liked. But when I looked into her expectant face, I couldn’t say no. I was guessing she wanted me to follow her around and carry her bags while she shopped, so after thinking about it for a while, I nodded and agreed.

My attention was completely focused on Cinder, so I missed the way Aaron’s fingers were trembling, and the way his eyes lit up when I nodded.

After breakfast, Cinder hurriedly dragged me straight out of the

house.

She drove fast, and in less than half an hour, the two of us were in the city. But instead of driving us to a shopping mall, she took us to a luxury spa in a fancy, ornate building.

I was a little taken aback. Why did Cinder bring me here?

Cinder had already gotten out of the car. She walked around to the passenger side and knocked loudly on the door. “What are you staring at? Get out of the car!”

What did she want me to do? I pushed open the door, confused. As soon as I got out of the car, Cinder grabbed my arm and charged ahead into the building.

She snapped her fingers briskly at the blonde woman who approached us as we walked in. “We’ll get your best facials, and we’d like our hair and makeup done, too.”

We? Cinder’s wording only confused me even more. “Why do I have to do it too?”

Something seemed off about Cinder today. Ever since the moment she decided she didn’t want to go skiing, she’d been acting really strange.

I was about to ask what was wrong, but Cinder pulled me into the spa treatment room before I could get a word in. She rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, “I paid good money to get us a team of beauticians from L.A. If you don’t do it, you’ll be wasting my money.”

I could only go along with it in a daze as Cinder dragged me through a series of expensive treatments.

After my hair was done, Cinder circled me with her arms folded, stroked her chin, and inspected me carefully from head to toe. “I think her lipstick color isn’t dark enough. And the eyeliner needs to be more natural to accentuate her eye color.”

After hearing that, the makeup artist immediately came over to touch up my makeup.

Cinder stared at me intently in the mirror, and I felt goosebumps pr*ckling on my arms.

I didn’t usually spend much time on makeup. When I looked at my elaborately made-up face in the mirror, I was so dazzled, I almost

had to look away.

I wondered if Aaron would be surprised to see me like this when we got home.

When I thought of Aaron, my mind started to wander. I still didn’t know what he’d been talking about last night when he mentioned a secret. What kind of secret could he be keeping?

While I was lost in thought, Cinder patted my shoulder lightly. “You pretty princess, now it’s time to pick out your outfit.”

I glanced over to find that Cinder had also had her makeup done. But compared to my look, her makeup was much more understated and subtle.
