By the break of dawn Luna was already at the tarot house,her nightmares barely allowed her any sleep furthermore, Rowena had informed her that there were alot of pending consultations waiting to be reviewed.
"Do you require my help to sort these?" Rowena gently placed the stack of files on the table.
As much as Luna preferred that the information was sent to her via soft copy, the policy was that the clients filled in hard copies which were shredded after payment leaving no trace of evidence behind.
"Thanks but no Rowena, I'll handle it." Luna gave her a polite smile as she flipped through the files for cases that she could easily handle.
Ring. Ring. Ring'
Luna pressed her lips gently together in irritation because her phone couldn't stop ringing which was causing to distraction not just to her but to Shay as well.
"Could you please switch the damn thing off if you're not going to take that? It's being a nuisance." She shuffled the tarot cards for the third time as she apologized to her client for the inconvenience.
-
"Hello?" Luna's shut eyes flew open when she recognized Stella Robinson's voice on the other end of the line.
"There is a little crisis at King's Hotel. And it requires your expertise, please come here immediately." Stella sounded furious and desperate.
Luna pondered on what could be the problem that Stella was offering to double her fee.
"Drop whatever it is that you're doing right now and come now, please Luna my daughter's reputation is at stake." She sounded almost pitiful.
It was ironic because she was devising means of getting familiar with Cassandra Robinson. Being in her high graces meant that she had a fighter in her corner.
"I'll be right there in no time." Luna hungup
Shay's narrow lidded eyes were pinned on her by the time she was done with the call
"Are you taking another job on the outside? You hated doing that but lately, it has become the norm."
Luna laughed and smirked because her tone was contorted with envy that she could go out on her whim, "You can join me like last time if you desire to."
Shaking her head vehemently Shay let her know that she got an earful from Don, "I had to fuck him to subside his anger." She spoke with indiffence
Luna gasped, "what? Shay that's sexual harassment!" Luna's eyesballs were bulging out of her sockets.
Shay laughed at her reaction "what you want to say is that you couldn't tell that I was fucking the man, we had a lovers squabble that's it. Sex is for enjoyment, loosen up alittle. "
Letting out a pronounced sigh Luna gave her a condescending look "It could never be me, am careful with what I feed my body, both the food and the men."
Tucking her hair behind her ear while rolling her eyes Shay blurted out "says the girl who is fucking a married man."
Rowena chocked on her laughter attracting attention from both women who glared in her direction.
Feeling somewhat offended,Luna straightened her back like she was ready for war but suddenly decided to surrender because she had no suitable response to what Shay had just said, holding her head up high she quietly walked out.
As she drove through the busy thoroughfare that was parked with cars and fully occupied stalls, her thoughts kept traveling back to the bomb Nate had dropped the last time she had seen him.
'Its a possibility that Logan had pilfered his father's valuables including the slush fund.' It all added up because suddenly he was being too extravagant like he had an endless stash of money hidden somewhere.
In no time she had arrived at the Hotel, the valet greeted and took her car keys. One of the receptionists rushed to her like she was already expecting her
"Good morning ma'am, You must be Ms Luna Grey? " her statement was more of a question.
Luna gave her a perplexed look because the girl whose name tag read Jessica.K, couldn't stop looking at her white hair.
"I am, why do you ask?" Luna was browsing through her phone looking for the last dialed number which was Stella's.
Jessica.K explained that she was told to alert the higher ups when a pretty young white haired lady walked in.
Smiling at the eloquent young woman, Luna told her to go ahead and do as she was told.
"I'll wait from the lobby." Luna walked in the opposite direction.
Her back was turned gazing out through the glass window pane, when she heard heels clatter majestically towards her way.
Luna slowly turned her head and her eyes landed on Stella's relieved face.
"Am glad you came in as fast as you could." Stella walked closer and hugged her in a tight embrace. How ridiculous! Luna never imagined that this woman could ever like anyone other than her children. Not once did she ever embrace her when she was her daughter in law
Luna acted like she was so concerned about her well being "Are you and you're daughter okay? You said it is an emergency ofcourse I had to rush here with immediate effect." She expressed ingenuine concern as she held the woman's hand.
Swallowing hard as she placed a hand to her tightening chest " Am good but my daughter's hotel is about to go up in flames. Come this way." She beckoned Luna to follow her.
All the hotel rooms were specifically made to serve only the elite of society, however the top floor was reserved for only the cream of the elites.
DING'
The elevator arrived at the top most floor, Luna silently prayed that she would be able to handle whatever was coming at her.
When the wide gold coated door of the deluxe suite opened she spotted two half naked girls kneeling with their hands held upwards and their faces swollen. It was clearly evident that they had been ruffled and beaten up.
A man who was smoking like a chimney stood by the enormous glass window shamelessly naked.
'What the fuck is wrong with these rich people' Luna tore her gaze from his firm dimpled butt.
Cassandra Robinson,a dark haired beauty she could easily identify sneered at her mother who was walking to her. "Mom you better be sure that her vudu works because if it doesn't she'll have me to contend with.
