The Perfect War Story……. - Chapter 84

She quickly placed aside her blow drier and then removed her bath robe, wearing the white GUCCI dress her mother had told her to wear. She then quickly did her routine makeup and wore the matching heels with the dress and glanced at herself in mirror.

The dress fitted perfectly, showing her alluring curves. It had a simple v shaped neck, which showed a little bit of her cleavage, leaving the rest to a person’s imagination. The dress ended a little above her knees and was plain white and very classy. The back of the dress had a wide cut out, revealing her beautiful back skin. She turned to her left and then right looking at the dress. “Is it a bit too much?” she frowned, looking at her reflection.

The girl had always preferred to do minimal makeup in the office so as to not make it too much attention seeking. In spite of that she looked extremely radiant and beautiful. “It is fine I guess, as long it keeps mother from talking about a rich boy friend, even for few days”. She opened her wardrobe and selected a matching handbag with the dress. Though she did not have a large collection like her mother, but still she managed to hold a decent amount of fashion essentials, so that she looks presentable in front of her clients.

She quickly picked up her phone from her bedside, without checking its notifications and climbed down the stairs rapidly. She then rapidly walked towards a long corridor, overlooking the beautiful flower garden and reached the dining area, where her mother was already sitting with her apple tablet in her hand.

The house maid was now laying the dishes on the gigantic marbled table, which looked extremely royal and elegant. Overlooking the dining area ,was a large swimming pool, a basketball and tennis court which was Linda’ favourite place to hangout.

Soon the table was laden with fresh fruits, juices, pancakes, porridge and omelette. As soon as Linda entered the room, her mother looked up and gave her a wicked smile. She then immediately got up from her seat giving her a tight hug. “Oh my darling. I am so proud of you. You have surpassed my expectations my beautiful girl. We will never have to worry about money now.”

Linda frowned a bit as her mother was once again talking about money. “Mother, as it is we do not have to worry about money. I run one of the most successful law firms in the country.” She rolled her eyes, thinking what could be the reason of her mother’s happiness. She did not see any shopping bags near her which meant that it had nothing to do with clothes or bags.

“Of course my dear. And I am so glad I made you wear this dress. Look how gorgeous you look. Why don’t you tie your hair in a nice bun, to reveal your back?” her mother frowned looking at her curly hair.

“Why are you so happy mother? What is it that I do not know?” Linda frowned, looking at her mother’s wicked smile.

“Now, now. Do not be shy about it. It is all over the news my sweetie.” She quickly picked up the tablet and showed her the headlines in the ‘page 3’ section.

Linda gaped at the tablet in horror holding it in her hands. There was a picture of the four of them form the party last night, in which Linda looked extremely drunk and cosy with Austin, while Smith and Sheryl were kissing each other. “Gosh! How can they do that? Wait let me just sue them for publishing my picture without my permission.” The girl spoke angrily, wanting to throw the tablet on the floor.

“What? No way! You will not do anything like that and it is my order. This picture will be the talk of the town and I can proudly say that my daughter has spent a night with the richest bachelor of the country.” She smirked as if lost in a dream and then once again hugged Linda.

“But mother, I do not think I will be even meeting him again. It was all in the moment.  We were drunk.” She shrugged her shoulders and then sat on the chair, grabbing a bowl of fresh porridge.

Sana, served herself a gigantic pancake with extra buŧŧer and chocolate syrup. “Oh my dear, you are so naive, that it is even hard to believe that you are my daughter. It always starts with one night and then turns into dating and love.” She smiled, eating a giant piece of pancake in her mouth.

Linda sighed not wanting to say anything further about it. She had just wanted to call Austin for apologising for her behaviour. She never really planned to meet him again.

She quickly started eating the porridge and picked up the phone in her hands, reading the notifications one by one. Just then she saw a notification from an unknown number and she clicked it to open. Her mouth fell open as she read Austin’s love filled message. “What on earth is that? Is this some sort of game?” she frowned and then quickly typed a message.

Linda- ‘Hope you used a protection last night! I cannot seem to remember.’

Within a few seconds the man was already typing a message as if he had the phone in his hand itself.

Austin- Oh, what if I did not? Don’t worry I can show you my medical reports. 😉

Linda’s mouth fell open and she spat out the porridge from her mouth coughing profusely. She quickly typed a message to him in anger.

Linda- ‘Meet me in the cafe near your office, right now. I am coming.’

Austin –’ok, my love.’
