13 Chapter
Penelope ran away from Ethan because she thought it was the only and right thing to do. She should stay as far away from people like him as possible. She turned right, and walked toward the restaurant. After all, it wasn’t that long of a walk.
“He’s such an idiot! He’s scaring me,” Pen repeated to herself as she walked to work.
Well, nothing, I’ll fight him back, I’m sure of it. He and his friends won’t lay a finger on me again. He’s handsome and sexy, but I won’t let him play me and be their victim.
Only Pen, was overconfident, for she did not yet know or understand that she was their victim. And what they had planned for her, she would not be able to stand.
“Hello, Beth,” Pen said hello to her new pal as she walked into the kitchen.
“Hello, Pen. You’re here early today.”
“Yes, to get changed and get to work.”
“Moli’s in the hall. She’s not in the mood today. Well, she always is.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
” No wonder, Pen agreed with her.”
“Have you recovered from the stunt George and his friends pulled last night?”
” Yes,” she answered quietly.
“Good. Because, tonight they’re coming again. If they ask you to serve them, you’ll have to do it.”
“Why do you care so much about that?”
“I don’t want you and me and the whole restaurant staff to lose our jobs. And these guys are capable of anything.”
“Ethan Maloney would do anything to get what he wants?”
“Who’s that?” Beth asked.
“It’s a friend of theirs.”
“I saw Ethan for the first time yesterday. He seemed to me the most sane.”
“If he hadn’t gone along with them and kissed me against my will, I’d still agree with you, but, alas, he didn’t.”
“We could talk about it forever, but they’re not worth it.”
“Beth, did you sleep with them?” Pen asked me out of the blue.
“Yes, I did.”
“Which ones?”
“All of them, except Ethan.”
“And you couldn’t say no to them? Was that so hard to do?”
“Pen, stop it. Don’t lecture me, it’s too late. I didn’t think that if I said yes to one night with George, he’d still want to share me with his friends later.”
“That’s disgusting,” she replied, and began to change.
“This, New York, baby.”
“So what? That doesn’t mean I have to spread my legs in front of these jerks! Whatever the situation in life, but letting them treat you like meat.”
“Their game would be a lot more interesting if an innocent girl like you were involved. ”
“Okay, enough of that, Beth. Let’s get to work.”
“Okay, whatever you say, Pen,” Beth replied, and they walked into the hall, which was surprisingly empty, completely empty.
“What is all this?” Pen wondered.
“It’s called playtime. I guess they decided to take action after all.”
“Who?”
“Our friends,” Beth said, and Pen knew who she meant.

“Hello, friends,” George said to Kevin and Michael as he sat down at the table of their favorite restaurant.
“Hi, George. We’ve been waiting for you.”
“Sorry I’m a little late.”
“And Ethan’s not here yet?” George noticed.
“Apparently, he’s still reeling from yesterday. Said he had a big meeting at Juilliard today, though. He’s looking for a date or a talented dancer to promote.”
“I’d like a dancer, too – flexible, graceful, sexy. Ethan, no fool. He’s always looking for the best girls, and what’s frustrating is that he finds them.”
“He’s what you might call a one-night stand, but it’s time he accepted the rules of the game. Yesterday he willingly agreed to kiss our poor lamb.”
“I’d love to kiss her myself, and not just kiss her,” Kevin said.
“I think Ethan would agree to that, I noticed the way he looked at her yesterday when he kissed her. Hе was glowing.
“He mustn’t find out about yesterday,” George warned his friends.
“We won’t tell him.”
” He called me this morning and asked me what happened yesterday, because he didn’t remember anything. I lied to him,” George answered.
A couple of minutes later Ethan walked into the restaurant and was in a good mood.
“Hello, friends,” he greeted them before slumping onto the couch.
“Hi, Ethan. How are you feeling?” They asked.
“Great, I’m in a really good mood.”
“Yeah? What’s the reason?” Kevin asked him.
“I chose a couple, and the best dancer in town.”
“And from the looks of it, you’ve already fucked her?” Michael asked him.
“No, I haven’t. But I will.”
“What’s her name?”
“Her name won’t tell you anything.”
“Still, what is her name?”
– Penelope Diaz.
“It’s a beautiful name,”said Kevin.
“She herself is so damn beautiful and sexy. Such a meek little girl. You would definitely go crazy for her. ”
“I hope you will introduce us to her?”George asked.
“Of course I will today.”
” It’s time we called Beth,” Michael exclaimed.
“I’d prefer Chloe, George interrupted him.”
“So would I,” Ethan agreed.
“How do you do? What would you like to order?” Beth appeared in front of them.
“Beth, first we would like to see Chloe,” said Michael.
“Chloe is busy, she’s in the kitchen right now.”
“So call her.”
“But I can also take your order.”
“I’m sure you can not only take our order, but also serve us in the highest class, but now, we want to see Chloe in front of us,” said George, as he grabbed Beth’s hand.
“Okay, I’ll get her,” she said and followed Pen.
“I wonder how long it will take her to convince her to come over to us?” Kevin asked.
“I don’t think she’ll say yes right away,” Michael answered.
“You know, I’ve been thinking for a long time, and I decided to accept the rules of your game and become a part of it. It’s more fun,” said Ethan unexpectedly.
“Really? Why did you do that?”
“I just did,” I said honestly.
“Okay, you’re in,” George answered him.
