The dislike these two women had for each other was quite obvious. There was an awkward silence—the tension hung in the air around them. Emily had introduced Ashleigh to Amanda a few years ago at a dinner party, Emily naively thought Ashleigh might be able to help Amanda make some connections that could to lead to a job opportunity, since Amanda had just been fired from the radio station. Although, Ashleigh quickly found out that Amanda had no intention of getting a job.

Amanda told Ashleigh she had a plan to win her ex-husband back, and if not him she would find another rich guy. That worked out well for Amanda, as Ashleigh knew she had been working at the mall for the last few months and her only known sexual relationship was with her divorce lawyer. Ashleigh thought Amanda probably traded sex for legal representation.

After Amanda had gone completely broke, she made everyone feel sorry for her to get free drinks and food, always playing the “help me I’m poor” card. Ashleigh never liked Amanda, but she didn’t have the heart to tell Emily. After all, Emily was a sucker for helping someone she thought had potential.

Emily saw Amanda in a different light. She knew her back during the happier times. According to Emily, Amanda used to be pretty funny. Ashleigh didn’t see it, but what exactly did Amanda have to laugh about these past few years? Amanda and Emily had met at a charity event a few years ago, before Amanda lost everything. Now, she was divorced, lost her job, was publicly humiliated by a cheating scandal and her wealthy family disowned her.

“Yes, I have been dating Vince for a while now, and he just bought me a Mercedes. Not to mention, he spoils me like crazy, buying me designer clothes, shoes and fabulous jewels.”

Amanda was laying it on pretty thick for Ashleigh. Part of her wondered if Amanda was just lurking in the lobby to see if she could find a man with money, and this was all just a fabrication.

A brittle smile crossed her lips. “Oh, that sounds amazing. I’d love to see your place, Amanda.” There was only one way to find out if Amanda was telling the truth or not, and that was to see if she actually had an apartment in the building.

“Sure thing, Ashleigh. I’ll take you there now. Do you have the time?” Amanda said with a grin.

“Yeah, just let me grab my mail first,” Ashleigh said as she took her key and unloaded her mailbox.

Both women walked in silence to the elevator. Amanda pressed the up arrow, the doors immediately opened. Amanda pressed the button for the 20th floor.

This should be good, Ashleigh thought to herself.
