Valerie had to control herself when she witnessed
Dolly looking at the waitstaff like they were either
something to be destroyed or flirted with.
Unfortunately, Dolly was an almost constant
companion these days, especially since their
husbands started working together.
Valerie smiled sympathetically at the young
man who had made the grievous error of delivering a
glass of sparkling water with ice to the table instead
of simply an ice-cold glass of sparkling water as
Dolly had requested.
“—And honestly, if this is the standard of
service the country club is hiring, then it’s no wonder
my darling Donald doesn’t like coming here
anymore,
” Dolly finished, clearly pleased with
herself.
The poor kid looked like he might cry, Valerie
realized, and it made her want to say that the real
reason her ‘Darling Donald’ didn’t like coming here
anymore was that he had drunkenly fallen down the
steps two months ago, making a fool of himself while
being asked to leave. Walter had told her about it
when he got home from that dinner. He was also
growing tired of ‘Darling Donald’ and his ways.
“Well, all is not lost because I’d love a
sparkling water with ice, so why don’t you leave that
with me,
” Valerie smiled, trying to draw the attention
away from the boy.
“Of course ma’am,
” he said as he placed the
glass on the table next to her.
“Don’t make excuses for the boy, Valerie.”
Valerie took in a deep breath while she resisted
the urge to put Dolly in her place. She wasn’t about
to cause trouble with the wife of her husband’s
primary competition at the firm. Instead, Valerie just
smiled and hoped her other friends would be able see
through this unbearable woman.
“We actually should get going…” Amber
interjected. “Shouldn’t we, Val?”
“Oh, but—” Dolly started, clearly annoyed.
“Yes, we really must be off,
” Valerie agreed,
“What time is it?”
Amber made an exaggerated gesture of
checking her watch—a brand new Cartier Panthere,
which everyone knew at the table would have a price
tag of at least a few thousand dollars.
“Oh very nice,
” Dolly said with a sniff,
“I’ve
never cared for Cartier but it suits you.”
“Thank you. It does, doesn’t it? Just a little
early birthday present. Jonny says something else is
coming on the day—I think he’s trying for Husband
of the Year,
” Amber replied,
“It’s half two, and our
appointment at Spa De Longue is at three. With this
traffic, we should really get on the road.”
Val didn’t need telling twice. Amber was
clearly over this lunch and was looking for an out.
They didn’t even have an appointment at the spa this
week.
She turned and smiled at the waiter, gesturing
the universal sign for ‘bill please’ before turning back
to the table.
“So, how is Walter going to compete with a
Cartier watch?” Dolly’s face was making a smiling
expression, but it was only skin deep.
