Chapter 50: Cold Shower

Xavier coughed violently when he heard Simon's suggestion.

"Shut up, Simon," he said in annoyance.  Xavier decided he no longer wanted to play and took his suit from the chair and bid Simon goodbye. "See you tomorrow."

"Hey! Aren't you taking Donna with you?" Simon titled his chin toward the other model who was sitting beside his own date. Xavier didn't even look. He had walked away and left through the door.

Simon could only shake his head and looked at Donna apologetically. He said to her, "Sorry, Donna. He is not feeling well."

<In Elleard's room>

Elleard was being helped by his nurse as well as Mario to get into bed.  The bed was not a king size like the beds in the other rooms of this mansion.
