Evangeline leaned to the side to catch a glimpse of the guy in question. She was impressed.
“Not your usual type.”
Natasha laughed. “I get to sit in an office with suit-wearing pricks all day. Why would I choose to take one to bed too?”
“Touché.” Taking a sip of her bourbon, she looked out at the people, wondering what they were trying to forget.
“Should I even ask?”
“Probably not. I’m just over it, you know?”
She nodded. “Of course.” Raising her glass, she said, “Fuck them all.”
Evangeline smiled. “Fuck them all.” She took a sip of her drink, placing it down on the table.
“How’s work going?”
“The other firm upped their offer.”
“To what?”
“Three quarters of a million a year.”
Evangeline’s eyes bulged. “Holy shit! Natasha, surely you can’t ignore them now.”
She sighed. “I know I can’t, but I still feel like I can’t leave my firm.”
“Honor and all that?”
“Yeah.” Natasha absently swirled the olives in her drink. “Seven hundred and seventy-five thousand a year is a lot of money though.”
“It is,” replied Evangeline. “But what would you have to sacrifice?”
“I’d be in the office six and a half days a week. It would put an end to all the free time I have now.”
Evangeline smiled. “Oh, the whole once every two weeks I see you now, you mean?”
“It’s more than most people,” Natasha shot back with a grin. “Plus, I can’t just drop everything and come running to your aid.”
She laughed. “I never asked you to do that.”
Natasha grinned. “I know. I just want to remind you of it every chance I get since you never ask for help.”
“You’re a bitch.”
Her friend threw her head back, laughing. “Not as big of a bitch as you.”
Evangeline raised her glass. “To being a bigger bitch and surviving.”
Natasha downed the rest of her drink, placed her glass on the table, and stood up. “Okay, enough of this emotional shit. I’m going to get laid tonight if it’s the last thing I do.”
“Good luck,” she murmured.
With a wink, Natasha replied, “You too. Stay safe.”
Evangeline watched her saunter away, her hips swinging in a slightly too exaggerated way. She noticed a lot of appreciative eyes on her, but Natasha was on a mission. As if her departure were a green light to approach Evangeline, a man appeared at her elbow.
“Hi.”
