Dropping The Crown

Chapter 35: The Influencer

Adani's POV

I laughed at Adonna's so-called advice. "Yeah, I'm not going to do that. Are you and Joshua going to get serious after this?" I asked her.

"Nope."

"Wait a minute..."

"I did what I did because I wanted to. I felt heated. Joshua has this thing about him that made me want to sit on his face. Adani, it's been so long. My terrible ex-boyfriend was the last person I've ever slept with."

"I know the longing."

"Exactly. My cooch felt like it was growing a sealant at the entrance."

I spat out water before breaking into another laughter. "I brought a rose," I said with a wink after composing myself.

"The toy?"

"Yeah. I was intrigued by what I read online and to be honest, I do get my heating moments."

"I know, right. The weather ignited mine. I couldn't resist. Joshua was so surprised when I told him to come into my room. I leaped on him and had my way with him. Gosh, it was fun."

"I heard."

"Were we really that loud?"

"Your moaning was competing with the sound of the thunder, Adonna."

She exhaled with a smile and as we turned to leave the kitchen, Penelope walked in.

"Adani, pour me a glass of wine," she commanded and took a seat.

Adonna looked at her dangerously. I made a beeline for the glass holder and then the wine cabinet. Adonna took the glass and bottle from my hands and placed the items in front of Penelope without pouring.

Penelope looked up from typing in her phone. "Serve it," she snapped and looked between the two of us.

"No," Adonna answered.

"Excuse me," Penelope said and stood up from her chair, it scraped on the tile, "I don't know who you think you are but you will do as I say. Serve me the damn wine right now!" Penelope yelled.

Adonna stepped closer towards her and I was right by her side.

"Pouring and serving wine isn't a part of my work details nor Adani's. Even if I did, I know good and well I wouldn't serve you because of your nasty attitude towards others."

"You have no idea who you're talking to," Penelope said.

"I don't care if you're the damn pope. You wouldn't speak to me or Adani as if we're not human beings."

"It's interesting that Adani isn't speaking up for herself."

"That's because she's agreeing with everything I'm saying. Pour yourself the wine. We're not your waitresses."

"You wouldn't be here for too long, newbie," she said back.

"Good. Because I wouldn't want to see your face everyday."

"Hmm," she mumbled. She then snatched the bottle and glass off the counter-top and walked out of the kitchen with the items.

"What the hell, Adani, that's how she talks to you?" Adonna asked once Penelope had left.

"You haven't seen anything yet. You should have met Mrs. Parriston. She's the devil's wife."

"You can't allow people to talk and treat you like that regardless of your work title. She thinks of you as just a maid, someone to boss around."
