“You’re an angel,” She whispered, tightening her hold around Amara. “And you deserve so much better than Tobias. I promise, we’ll find you your Mr. Right!"
Drying her hand, Amara spun around in Melanie’s hold and gently patted her head. “I don’t need a Mr. Right, Mel. I’m fine on my own, right now, what I need to focus on is my work.”
“Right,” Melanie nodded. “Who need those stinky men?”
“Who needs them,” Amara agreed, giggling as she watched Melanie fetch out a bottle of unopened wine.
“Let’s celebrate tonight.” She proposed. “To new beginnings and new chances.”
Amara nodded and picked up the two glasses on the counter, holding them as Melanie poured the wine into each glass.
“Cheers to being single ladies who are ready to focus on their lives!” They both said simultaneously, clinking their glasses and drinking the contents in one go.
As Melanie refilled their glasses, she recalled the reason why Amara had invited her out in the first place. “So, your first day at work, how was it?”
“Normal, is what I’d like to say, seeing as I have a hectic project to work on, I can’t bring myself to say so.”
“What project?”
As Amara took a sip from her wine, she realized that something she had overlooked was Melanie’s presence in the cosmetic world.
Melanie was a well known person when it came to the cosmetic industry and being well know meant that you met influential figures and heard gossip that normal people couldn’t.
And if Amara’s prediction was correct, Melanie would know something about Bethany.
“You’ve heard of Gemini Sinclair, right?”
“Madam Sinclair? Who hasn’t. What’s up with her?”
