Chapter 5 -- Cinq.


    "I told him that Leo wasn''t his child." De said putting the new bed covers for one of the hotel suites.


    "Did he believe you?" M asked curiously fixing the unmade bed. They were both in their maid


    uniforms, they had been friends ever since De started working at the hotel four years back. M was


    also a Latino which made it really easy for them to be friends. Having the samenguage and very


    much same interests. M knew everything that had happened to her best friend. The shit her arsehole


    husband put her friend through.?


    "Everyone knows I cheated, M so he has to believe me." De said in a monotonous tone, she didn''t


    care about alot of things. She hardly got excited for anything unless it had to do with her son. She


    found zero interest in anything really—


    "But look, if he said he knows what his mother did that means he knows you are lying." M replied


    after a hard well thought.


    "Even if he founds out what happened? What''s the point? We should just let it go." De replied folding


    the white towels near the ensuite basin.


    "So you don''t feel anything?" M asked looking at her friend expectedly but all she did was look up


    and frown then continued doing her work. M knew that De had been so heartbroken that she was


    so numb but deep down inside she hoped she would see her friend happy again with another man. She


    certainly wouldn''t allow that dog from the Levetté''s into her friend''s life again.


    "De ?" M wiggled her eyebrows.


    "Mhm?" De answered breaking away from her thoughts, she was thinking about how much she


    needed to save so that Leondre could go for that school camp and the things that he would need.


    Ofcourse all the work she put in was all for her little young man.


    "I asked you a question." M replied at her friend who seemingly showed no interest.


    "Uh no I didn''t feel anything." De replied going back to her cleaning.


    "You sure? I mean your ex-husband is quite a hot mess." M said blithely but De just shook her


    head and continued with her work.


    "Andre always deserved better." De suddenly said out of the blue. "I was just a middle ss girl, with


    a lot of baggage but now I don''t have to feel bad about it because we are not together." M frowned


    because her friend was oblivious to all the men that stared at her every single day, be it clients or other


    employees ;there was just something about her. She was beautiful and she didn''t even know it, maybe


    it was her Latino genes that gave her those noticeable curves and her caramel skin. Even after having


    gave birth to her son, she looked way better than before. Her body was sexy in every way possible


    even with stretch marks here and there.


    "Which suite are you assigned to next ?" M asked changing the subject.


    "Uhm 132B infact the whole left wing." D replied.


    "Well I''m on the C side so I will meet you at lunch." M added making her way out of the suite before


    blowing her friend kisses.


    "Okay M." De smiled at how childish her friend was being.


    -


    It was almost midday when De''s manager called her and told her that she needed to attend to the


    royal suite. De didn''t mind because it was her job. She made her way towards the Royal Suite, it was


    obviously the biggest suite in the hotel. Usually snobs with high demands always resided in that suite.


    De knocked on the door before yelling... "Room service." Her voice echoed. After a few minutes the


    door opened revealing—


    Luc.


    "Uhm-" She was about to speak when he gave her a brief smile, it would have charmed her but she


    was immune to his charms.


    "It''s okay, Dells you don''t have to exin anything and I don''t have anything against you. That''s your


    business with Andre." He said cheerfully. What made it awkward for De was that her ex-brother in-


    Pimentel." He grinned opening the door widely revealing a blonde girl. "She is Mexican, so English isn''t


    really in her vocabry." Luc said anxiously.


    "Oh, nice to meet you Elisabeta." De awkwardly sidled.


    "Luc, why you speak to maid ?" The girl said obnoxiously rolling her eyes. De wasn''t fazed by it, it


    wasn''t the first time that she had been insulted by the rich at the hotel. It was practically the highlight of


    this this job.


    "She is my sister inw, don''t talk to her like that." Luc mustered a frown.


    "It''s okay Luc-" De said calmly.


    "No, De it''s not okay. My mother and Brother treated you badly, I''m not going to allow anyone else to


    treat you like that. I always considered you as family and deep down I know you didn''t do it." Luc


    replied steadily.


    "And Leo is a nice little boy, I hope he will know me as his uncle soon enough." The young man with


    blonde curls added. De was a little taken back by what Luc had just said. Elisabeta was confused


    with how the conversation had escted so she took the champagne bottle and went inside pouring a


    ss for herself. She didn''t care, she had just came here for a good time with one of the eligible


    bachelors in New York.


    "How—" De was immediately cut off.


    "De, I''m not as dumb as you think. Leo has blonde hair and blue eyes which you certainly don''t have.


    He is a replica of my Brother." Luc chuckled. De was taken aback.


    "Andre is not the only one with blonde hair and-"


    "Yes, he isn''t but Leo is as old as your divorce so when did you have time to hook up with people huh?"


    "I cheated on Andre so that exins when I got time to hook up with people." De lied through her


    teeth. Luc let out an innocentugh.


    "Sure you did, virgin Mary. You still go to church?" Luc asked knowing she did. De was Roman


    Catholic, her grandparents had raised her in a Christian environment. They taught her to only give

    herself to a man on her wedding night. They taught her all the values in the bible. From a very young


    age, she grew ustomed to the life of a Roman Catholic family, Community, school and everything.


    She lost her faith a bit with what had happened to her with Andre...


    "Yes, i do." She sighed.


    "You should invite me sometime, maybe I will find me a?Be?but I won''t be as stupid as my brother to


    let her go." He gave her a genuine smile.


    "Uhm enjoy your wine, I will be on my way." De brushed hisment off, he just seemed amused as


    he closed the door and went back to his fun with Elisa.
