Capítulo 32: Feather Project

Back to the present

It was past midnight when a woman entered the room with her dazzling night gown and bare feet. She was very careful with her steps as if a thief that doesn't want to be caught. The room then was dark, so dark that she cannot even see a thing but was able to get through the kitchen without much effort.

She went for the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. She leaned on the counter exhausted, uncapped the bottle and drank from it. Knowing that she was alone in the penthouse gave her some relief. At least she wouldn't have to explain as much.

She nearly finish the whole bottle when the lights, surprisingly turned on, much to the girl's surprise. Then a woman in a dark pink nightgown appeared right in front of her. She had long dark curls, while her eyes of shinning emerald penetrated right through the girl's honey-colored eyes.

"Gabriella!" The girl almost throws her bottle off out of surprise.

"Don't scream as if you had seen some ghost!" The other woman answered as a small laugh bloomed right through her sweet pink lips. "Where the heck have you been? Its past midnight and you made me all worried!"

"I'm sorry I lost track of time," She apologized in an instant, her eyes refused to meet hers. Then in an attempt to hide her guilt, she tried to change the topic "Did you come down for some glass of milk? I'll make you some,"

"Simone!" The woman she called Gabriella glared at her as she dropped her name. "Answer me? Where the heck have you been?"

"I went out with some friends," The girl who was still barefooted reasoned as she was already feeling the cold floor.

"As far as I know, you have no friends apart from Lucy and I," She brushed her reasons aside, one eyebrow raised. She had a suspicion where she had been and she wanted her to confess right then.

"With some classmates rather," Simone changed her answer knowing the previous one had some flaws.

"You don't like your classmates. They were all bratty rich law students. You just made that clear to me a week ago,"

"I don't have to like them to attend a group study," Simone was already exhausted and so she could not make a convincing lie. Also she knew that Grabriella will find out eventually so there was no point of lying to her.

Grabriella for her was like a guardian angel, not just because she looked very angelic but because she was that kind of friend whom you can never hide any secrets away. Like a real angel, it seemed like she can see everything even your heart.

"Group study your ass. No one goes to a group study with that kind of dress," She answered and looked at Simone from head to foot. "God Simone! If your colleagues will see you, they'll assume you are some kind of a prostitute,"

"Of course she doesn't!" Someone interjected and right then, another enthralling beauty entered in the kitchen with a sharp and deep ocean blue eyes and hair dyed of ash gray. Unlike Grabriella whose beauty shouts innocence in all places, the next girl was wicked kind of beautiful.

"She looked dashing sexy!" Her rose like lips formed a bewitching devious smile and she casted Simone a wink that didn't pass through Gabriella's unnoticed.

With a suspicious look, Gabriella turned into the girl that just entered the room, "Lucy? Do you have anything to do with this?"

"With what?" She brushed off her friend's suspicion by acting innocent and dashed to Simone's side. She gave her a thorough look for a minutes, shook her head upset. Then without warning, she pulled Simone's gown lower right in the side of her breast to expose more of it. "You should have exposed it more lady! These two mounds look so gorgeous in this dress and I'm so pissed that you didn't give it much exposure!"

"Lucilla! Simone!" Gabriella called their names because right then even when the two had already been caught in the act, they pretended nothing was happening. "Tell me that you didn't push on with that Feather project!"

Since the three were best of friends, Gabrielle was very aware of Simone's plan on getting back on Feather Han and she was very much against it. Not because she was afraid of the Feather or the Hans, but because it involves a Monsanto. The Mosantos were not the type of person someone should messed up with and she was ultimately worried about Simone that she strongly didn't approve of it.

Lucy on the other hand believes that Simone needed the revenge to move on. Feather had done her friend much of a damage and somehow Simone needs to have some justice. Besides, it seemed like the more she let Feather be, the more she becomes a headache to Simone.

"Don't shout or you'll wake all my neighbours," Lucy tell off. She went to another fridge, a smaller one, pulled some wine and started drinking a glass of it. She also served Simone some while didn't bother to give Gabriella any of it. As far as she knows, Gabriella can't drink wine, not anymore. "They might assume I had gone crazy and trust me, it would only take a day for it to become a headline,"

Lucy is a famous acclaimed singer dubbed as the country's nightingale and she owned the penthouse where the three of them were all residing. The two Gabriella and Simone were her 'adopted' as calls them. They had been living with her temporarily and yet such temporary nature extended for almost like forever.

"I am asking both of you a question!" Gabriella wasn't letting go. It seemed like the two went on with the Feather revenge project without her knowing and this annoyed her to hell.

In their circle, Gabriella was like everyone's big sister and she was overly worrying about her two friend's safety.

Simone was playing with fire while Lucy was the fireball herself.

'God! How this two could be such a pain in the ass?' Gabriella thought as head turned.
