- "Carolina gained a few pounds since the last fitting. Now the dress needs adjustments" Daliah explained.- "What's wrong with making adjustments?"- "Are you kidding me? If the stylist refuses to adjust the piece, I'm out"Lora looked at the thin body of the brunette in front of her. It looked like the personification of a doll. Those words struck her as sickly, but she refused to delve into the matter further. That was not his job.- "Well, I don't understand about it, but don't be neurotic"- "You're right. You don't understand about" Carolina raised her eyebrows and, seeing that Lora's expression didn't change, she turned and walked to the other side of the room, completely frustrated.- "And that's the kind of crazy I deal with every day" Daliah sighed.- "You do a good job. By the way, you look beautiful today"- "A compliment from you is a big deal"Both were wearing dresses. Lora wore a simple one-piece, black dress with a rounded bust and a modest length. She was professiona

- "You can help me around here. Mrs. Brian is in her office, so I need to meet the demand of the models and her demands. You can save me from this"- "Of course. Just say what I need to do"Despite being in a light job, where she didn't need to bend over backwards to prove herself worthy of the job, Lora was capable of fulfilling any mission. She was used to heavy demands from childhood.- "Thanks for that, really. You could start by going to Ms. Brian's office and asking if she needs anything"- "Leave it to me"Lora walked to her own office first, where she left her bag and turned off her cell phone. The environment was not an example of organization, not least because it was not used only by her. There was someone else, on another shift, who didn't mind keeping the place tidy. And after assessing her reflection in the handheld mirror, she decided she was presentable enough to see her boss for the first time.The woman walked to the end of the hall, where the CEO's large office was

Lora knocked against the door twice. She was looking forward to meeting her boss, as she was part of Spencer's investigation as the murdered man's widow.- "Please come in" Michele authorized, and then Lora entered the large office.- "Good morning, Ms. Brian. I'm Lora Lins. Daliah is busy, so she asked me to come and ask if you need anything"Despite being focused on the screen in front of her, typing quickly and attentive to every word, Michele heard her well.- "Lins, right?"- "Yes ma'am"- "Is your father some famous director or do you just have the same last name?" Michele was still typing as she talked, not taking her eyes off the redhead for a millisecond.- "Jean Lins? Yes, he's my father." Having said that, Lora finally gained Michele's attention. The brown eyes quickly went up to the redhead who was standing a few feet from the door.- "Oh, interesting situation"The CEO's thoughts were hovering around her employee's story. To the world, she was very recent news. Jean was f

- "She's not the curious type" Daliah assured.- "She asked me about my father" Lora walked to the coffee maker and removed the last coffee she had prepared, placing it on the tray.- "This subject does not count"- "I know it generates curiosity, but it's still my personal life" the redhead analyzed what was on the tray; sugar, coffees, spoons, cream and sweetener. It looked good enough.- "Get used to fame, babe" Daliah drank the last sip of her water and left the kitchen, heading for the chaos of clothes and stressed bodies that awaited her.Lora looked uncomfortable. The world was big and dangerous, but at this point, so was she. He knew how to deal with people, situations and moments. He never submitted to the superior. However, this was his life before the spotlight on his person. After accepting her father as her provider, she had seen the world through different eyes. It wasn't just his daily struggle to be decent. It was about proving to be someone other than what they had em

Upon arriving home, thirty minutes later, Lora entered the apartment's living room, already removing her heels. I was tired, but not physically. The kitchen light was on, and voices could be heard coming from the room, so I soon learned that his friend, Drake, had arrived from his brief trip to Los Angeles.Lora dragged herself to the kitchen, noticing that the voices were male. One of them was recognized instantly; Jean Lins. It was like enough of the electricity her body still felt after her unexpected encounter with Banks. The woman sighed, thinking of a thousand reasons for this visit, especially since it was so late. She decided, finally, to just try to drown out the destructive thoughts she had when her father was around and walked into the kitchen.At the round table, Jean and Drake were enjoying snacks and sipping wine like good friends. Lora felt her stomach turn over.- "Hi, babe" Drake got up, walked over to her and hugged her tightly enough to steal her breath.- "Hi. I mi

After work was over, Lora felt more at home in the greater Las Vegas. That place was starting to feel like home. The black glass building where he worked, the clubs on the Strip where he passed until he reached the apartment, the streets always busy with cars and people. The mixed scents of luxury and urbanism are no longer new. Finally, she was adjusting to the chaos.She got out of the taxi in front of the building where she lived. Looking at the building, so tall it seemed to reach the sky, she thought she might be getting used to the idea of living so well for the first time in many, many years.The woman would be delighted at the idea of having friends, going out drinking and dancing, living in a good place with her friend and being able to enjoy a normal life. No neglectful and abusive parents, no harassing bosses and misogynistic men, no financial hardship, and most importantly, no lies.Lora was in a trance, looking up and imagining a thousand chances. There was no reason to s

The woman felt panic spread through her body. It was dusk, with little movement in this exquisite part of town. The all-too-familiar fear flashed through her mind with memories of the past, when she'd had no chance to defend herself. Her demons were opportunity hunters, always on the lookout for triggers that could send the redhead over the edge.- "Just talk" he repeated, but she didn't hear him, as she was busy digging her heels into the floor while trying to free herself from the hand tight around her wrist.Lora didn't see or hear the events around her orbit. She was focused on the feeling of helplessness snaking through her mind.However, when the raucous rumble of a speeding car was heard, the man coaxing Lora became alert, so much so that he immediately released the woman's wrist. The car, much like a machine, screeched its tires sharply and audibly across the asphalt when it stopped.The lamborghini Huracan parked diagonally, taking up a considerable part of the track, facing

The group was in the limousine again, in the same positions as before. Evans wasn't there, having returned to his apartment first, in one of the cars he kept in New York. All you had to do was make a phone call to have a vehicle at your disposal.Lora was quiet, thinking about what those people were assuming about her and Evans.- "No need to feel guilty, Lora" Will looked at the redhead with empathy in his eyes.- "Of course she needs to feel guilty. Evans never loses control" Mariah argued.Lora thought about ignoring the comment, just as she was ignoring everything else. The way Mariah carried herself was unnecessary for her. It was just like Lana, except for some approach privileges.- "You'd love to have the same power over him, sweetie" Mack muttered, knowing closely the feelings his sister had for Banks.- "Look at me, Mack. Do you really think I have no power over Evans?" the words were addressed to her brother, but Mariah was looking at Lora.Mariah Donovan was a model known

- "Don't even try to escape, Banks. We're going to a club when the parade is over, whether you're accompanied or not"Will was sociable. He liked to go out, enjoy his life and push the limits whenever he could. He was easy and accessible to everyone, always smiling and showing his best side. On the other hand, his friend did not have any of the aforementioned characteristics.They were several feet away from the walkway, for two reasons. Evans didn't want to find Lora, having decided she was a part of the past. And then he didn't like crowds. Not that people were stupid enough to treat Evans Donovan like part of the crowd.Will thought for a moment about asking about Lora. But if she'd learned anything about Evans, and she certainly had, it was that he wasn't the type to call the next day. And if the redhead wasn't his companion anymore, that meant he'd won the trophy and crossed the finish line without ever having to look back.- "See, Mack is here" Will tilted the glass of whiskey h

While her father and friend had a pleasant conversation at the table, Lora kept her attention on the table by the windows. She wanted to, but couldn't help but look at that man. He was handsome in an intense way, the kind that made people uncomfortable around him. The blonde who accompanied him was also pretty, but next to him, she'd only served as a background.- "Why is Mr. Donovan here?" Drake asked at some point in the conversation.- "He has business in all branches, maybe that's why. Or maybe he's just Miss Donovan's escort"Lora knew the second option was unfeasible. Evans wasn't the type to accompany someone. He needed, necessarily, to be the number one person. However, she did not want to discuss this issue.Lora looked at Evans, wishing she could go back in time, but content with the sight of him taking a sip from her bubbly glass. He didn't seem involved in the conversation around him, though everyone was clearly intent on capturing his attention.- "Is he always at these e

- "Please tell me it wasn't a disaster!" Drake asked, leaning closer to Lora as they walked.- "You were great" she assured, speaking low so as not to capture the attention of the people around her.They were entering the building's restaurant, where all of the evening's guests would enjoy a delightful dinner. Lora, Jean and Drake walked through the large room until they reached the table with their names titled.- "Let's greet Mr. Banks" Jean communicated as she walked towards the table where Evans was seated, along with his companion and a couple of acquaintances.The issue behind the way everyone idolized Evans was a curious one. Lora didn't understand why he was so applauded. Maybe for the money, or power, but she wasn't sure. The only thing he knew was that the world served as a rug for the Banks name.As they approached the round table, Evans could see the redhead. She walked elegantly in the red dress, but she looked uncomfortable outside of her surroundings.Evans was seated ne

Evans and Lana walked slowly to the Lamborghini in the parking lot while talking about private business. Lora was away, giving them both privacy. She still felt her body warm from Evans' hands, which, at that moment, were gripping her bra.- "So I need to make reservations for Sunday?" Lana asked.She, alongside her boss, seemed like the perfect escort. Not that she didn't want such a post, but she couldn't wish for what she wouldn't have.Evans walked to the passenger door and opened it so Lora could get into the car, completely oblivious to the matter. And also completely oblivious to the fact that the man was trying to keep his distance from her only because his proximity was intoxicating, addictive, alarming.- "Yes, probably" he replied as he walked to the other side of the car.Lora wasn't exactly comfortable with the closeness and intimacy between Evans and Lana, but she didn't have the right to protest about something that didn't concern her.- "I'll call you later" Lana commu

At first, the car made a slow turn. The speed did not reach one hundred kilometers per hour. The pilot was just getting to know the power of the engine, letting his experience take care of the moment.On the second lap, his foot weighed on the pedal. Every second the sports car got faster, finishing the curves in record time. Evans was focused but also relaxed. That was the only time he could turn off all his senses and worry only about crossing the finish line.When he passed the pit stop, the booming and powerful noise was even more explicit. Steady, steady accelerating made the tires resonate with friction on the asphalt.Fascinated by Evans' headstrong way of driving, Lora couldn't contain the urge to get up. The woman was too agitated to watch from afar. And as she walked forward, she heard the taps of Lana's heels. The blonde was leaving the racetrack pavilion and entering the safe side of the track.- "Lora" she called. The sound was muffled by the car's engine growling in acce

- "Tell me more about Costa Rica" Drake asked, staring into Daliah's brown eyes.- "That underdeveloped country? Not really. We're in Vegas, honey. Let's talk about this paradise" she replied seriously, but made Drake laugh.- "My God, she's amazing" he said, looking at Lora with an expression of contentment.- "Well, I'm curious about your relationship. You live together, look at each other with affection and show incredible intimacy and chemistry. How can you just be friends?" Daliah was surprised at how close the friends were.- "Lora is all I have, and I love her like a sister. I'm a nice guy, I know that, and we would be the couple of the century. But I see something in her that goes beyond attraction and romance. We are family" Drake murmured her words of affection as she looked at the horizon stretching out the window, inspiring her thoughts on moments she lived with the redhead by her side.- "There's no attraction. So you're gay?" Daliah frowned her perfectly plucked brows.-
