CHAPTER 31: ALLIES
“Are you sure all the red ones I picked are exactly the ones you’ve stuck up there? ” Judy asked the attendant of Prada’s lingering store who stood in front of the counter. The plump lady gave a half smile and said “Your partner sure loves red huh? ” Judy giggled without a word. ” It’s obvious. Everything here is red. ” the plump attendant added handing over the package to Judy who smiled and left the store. ‘I can’t wait to put it on for Gideon. ‘ she thought. ‘He loves red, I’ll give him red. ‘ she muttered to herself.
“Come in. The door is open. ” Judy replied after her door bell rang. It was few minutes past 10pm. She had just taken a bath and had a robe around her. “I’ve been expecting you. ” she told her guest who crashed into her sofa. “I had a long day. At last I am here. ” he replied after giving out a loud groan. “You know the comfort I derive from my hectic day? ” he asked her and continued. “I get to drive her all day at her beg and call yet don’t get tired. Those sparkling eyes of hers. The soothing fragrance that just lits the car sets my heart on fire and… ” “Okay man. ” interrupted Judy. “It’s obvious Emma has charmed you to the core. ” she said. He grinned and replied. “She had always charmed my boss not me. I am just her driver. Meanwhile, I don’t mind driving her all my life till my guy gets to drive into her. ” he declared with a twinkle.
“Don’t act all saintly here. You are more obsessed than I am Judy. ” revealed Mel. “Yes Mel. I am obsessed. I want Gideon more than I want any damn thing in this life and I swear I’ll get him no matter what it takes. ” she declared adjusting her robe. “Coffee? ” she asked Mel who nodded in approval. “Your curtains. ” he began as Judy went to get the coffee. “It has changed. You used grey ones right? I can bet they look exactly like the ones we have at Gideon’s Mansion. ” said Mel whose eyes were rolling round Judy’s living room.
Judy smiled and handed Mel’s coffee to him. “You bad girl. ” said Mel with a smile while collecting the coffee. “You are willing to do anything to drag this man out of his matrimony right? ” She sat opposite Mel and said. “This body will do it’s work but the structures need to be suiting too. I don’t just want Gideon in my bed. I want his senses, his demands, his ideology and all his entirety. ” she professed. “So the sooner we take out the garbage, the better for us Mel cause I am running out of patience man. ” she said after placing her empty cup of coffee on the stool beside her.
“Careful mate. You might go insane. ” Mel warned.” She chuckled really loud and said. “I’ll go insane at all cost for this man.” “I want him and that’s it. ” she said. “And the garbage? ” Mel retorted requesting for an answer. “We will get rid of her. We are just at the friend zone now as she assumes. I can’t wait to get into the manipulation phase. ” Judy told Mel. “In as much as you are fighting for your interest, I am struggling for guy’s interest too. Hence Judy. That garbage is scared to the guy am working for. ” Said Mel staring directly into Judy’s eyes. She nodded. “Chill. We have an understanding. ” she said. “We always do. ” she added.
“Now let’s talk. ” said Mel after sitting up properly. “The plan still stands.” Judy said. “I seduce Mr. Perfect, You tip your guy with info to win over Mrs. Vulnerable. ” she added. “I know but your hot body can’t do the whole work. ” Mel protested. “Wait till he gets a taste of this model. ” she boasted. “Oh come on Judy. I live in that house and I know the depth of the bond this two share.” Mel argued. “Oh shut up and don’t go weak on me. ” Judy screamed. “Weak? Oh you are calling me weak now? ” said Mel who was standing up and screaming. “Easy Man.. Hey! Stay Calm. It’s okay. ” she said in a calm voice trying to cool down his already burning temper. It worked. Mel sunk back into the sofa while Judy crossed her legs feeling high over her ability to tame wild men.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“You know I left my well paying job and became a pauper right? ” said Mel. “I know. ” Judy replied while nodding. ” It’s not everyday you come across a man who chose to be a driver to the woman his brother is hopelessly in love with. ” He said sounding broken and Judy was afraid she could experience a torrential flow of tears by this man. ‘Is his cousin the only one hopelessly in love here? Does he know how crazy she’s going for Gideon? ‘ she wondered.
“You know? ” began Judy. “I almost had him. ” she stated resting her back against the sofa shutting her eyes as if she was mind_traveling . “Yea You told me. Emma ruined it all. ” said Mel. “I deserve to be Mrs. Gideon not her. I saw him at that gala before her and next thing i found out, they were getting married in a week. ” she said with bloodshot eyes scaring Mel for a while. “You’ll have him. You’ll have the love of your life soonest. ” Mel assured her. “You will all get what you deserve Judy. he added. “As long as we keep all hands on deck and go with the plan. ” she said. “In a week, Gideon will be all mine. Mine alone. ” she said smiling and licking her lips as she imagined the life she’s been tirelessly plotting to create.
“My cousin will have that woman no matter what it takes. I’ll make sure it happens even if it’s the last thing I do for him” Mel said to her. “Good.” replied Judy. “It’s time to get our hands dirty. ” she added.
