Chapter 15: I‘ll Be Your First?
Earlier that day in Braeton City.
“Yes! Yes!” Kate squeaked after Carlos won his match. She was at a coffee shop across the street from her office building, ordering an excellent strong drink to wake her up.
She almost missed Carlos’ game, but thankfully, she witnessed everything through her mobile, all while ordering her drink. It had been two da ys since Carlos first called her. The first time it happened, her phone died. Earlier at dawn, she missed his call because she was fast aslee p. Kate was so exhausted that she failed to hear her phone ring, despite having her mobile next to her.
The time difference between Braeton and Paris wasn‘t helping at all. Recognizing she still had an hour and a half before work would start, Kate sat at an empty table and sipped her coffee lazily. Just then, a woman with wavy honey hair walked up to her. The woman gripped on the empty seat next to Kate and asked, “Can I take this chair?” The woman was none other than Hailey Mckenzie, and she gave Kate a shock. Hailey turned to Kate, saying, “Hello. It‘s nice to see you again, Kate. How long ha s it been? Nine years?” “Wow, are you… stalking me?” Kate asked, her blue eyes scanning the cafe.
“Why would I be?” Hailey asked back.
A scoff left Kate‘s lips, and she answered, “It‘s seven in the morning. I doubt your coming here was unplanned. Be sides, why are you still here in Braeton? I thought you already live in New York.” “I‘m dealing with some matter,” Hailey replied curtly. She leaned in, saying, “Listen to me, Kate. Carlos and I are having proble ms.” She narrowed her eyes, adding, “But eventually, he will come back to me. He always does. We‘ve been there for each other for nine long years. I am the one that knows him the best.”
It was the way Hailey said it that made Kate frown. She was absent in Carlos‘ life for that nine years, and thus, envy crept into her heart.
Hailey fixed her gaze on Kate. She suggested, “You know, there are so many women out there who want to sleep with Carlos. There is Linda White. Hannah Dil, Savannah is the bitch of all! She thinks she owns him…”
Kate‘s eyes widened, hearing Savannah’s name. However, despite how Hailey went on suggesting how Carlos had flings left and right, she swallowed all those theories down her throat, not wanting to give away any reaction.
She sucked in a breath, thinking about how there was so much more she needed to know about Carlos.
“Are you going to be one of his flings? Someone to conquer because he failed in the past?” Hailey suggested. She shrugged and added, “Perhaps.” “I am not going to be one of his flings,” Kate proclaimed, her hands clenching below the table. “Oh, we will see about that,” Hailey replied. “You see. It has always been Carlos’ goal to conq uer you. You rejected him in high school, and he is back to teach you a lesson.”
Kate‘s blood was boiling. She gritted her teeth before saying, “I don‘t believe you. Carlos is not like that at all.”
“And what do you know about Carlos? What makes you think he is the same person you used to know?” Hailey suggested. “Don‘t tell me you are falling for his lines? Pfft! Typical.”
“Can you even please him? Because the new Carlos has this crazy sex stamina. Sometimes, we‘d hav e sex all night.” A smirk formed on Hailey‘s face before she said, “He likes a girl who knows how to be on top. Can you handle that?”
When Kate paled at her words, Hailey laughed. She declared, “Oh, my god. You are a virgin?” She shook her head and said, “Dear, dear. We can‘t have that. You should at least… have exp erience if you want to take Carlos to bed – .”
“Why are you assuming that I want to have sex with Carlos?” Kate asked in anger. “Well, don‘t we all? Admit it or not, Kate. Carlos is the new hot thing. He is sexy as hell, his net wo is already around a hundred million dollars, thanks to his wins and sponsorships, then, he is a superstar! He is a fashion and sports model! Who doesn’t want to get their hands on Carlos, The Devil?” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Irked by Hailey‘s words, a big part of Kate wanted to get answers right then and there. She suggested, “Let me call Carlos, and let’s straigh reluctance on Hailey‘s face when she called Carlos. Hailey‘s reaction gave her an inkling that the woman was spouting lies. Sadly, his phone was out of reach, just like the last. When Kate grimaced, Hailey considered it a win for her. “What‘s wrong? Can’t call him?” Hailey sought. She then took out her phone and dialed Carlos
number. When the phone rang, a mischievous grin became painted on her face. She put the phone on s
“I don’t know why you are not able to reach him, but I can call him just fine,” Hailey pointed out.
Carlos answered. His voice was loud enough for the two ladies to hear. He said, “Hailey, I thought I told ”
