2. Sculptor’s Billionaire Husband

Facing the mirror, Alice pulled at the bowtie, which annoyed the hell out of her in the LA heat. The pea green waistcoat she had been given to wear was hideous. The white shirt reminded her of her school days. She sighed as she attempted one more time to make the bowtie sit straight.

The manager Simon had already warned her that her appearance wasn’t meeting his high standards. She knew where she wanted to shove those standards. She sighed again as she realized that there was no point being high and mighty when she had bills to pay.

Alice’s bottom lip quivered as she thought about the mess her life was in. She Inwardly cursed Alex, her ex boyfriend, for seriously messing up her life and leaving her for someone more plastic, more “LA.”

Once the darling of the art world, her career was in ruins. She hadn't gone into her studio for months, devastated at the way in which Alex had screwed her over. And now she was stuck serving drinks at the OUE Skyspace to the LA elite who had previously been her community.

It wasn't that she enjoyed the high life. It was just that her early success had given her a taste of the good life. But Alex had been lying about loving her all along, and managed to screw up the one thing in life she lived for—her sculpting.

She looked down at her long, slim fingers, perfect for the intricate work she did. She missed the weight of the massive diamond engagement ring Alex had bought her. When he’d left, she had thrown the ring into the sea at Long Beach in a fit of pique. Now, looking at the fading ring line on her tanned hand, she wished she had kept the ring and hawked it for some spare cash.

The door to the ladies room opened and Samantha, one of the other servers, popped her head through.

“There you are. Simon’s been looking for you.”

Alice sighed again and willed her mouth to curl upwards into some semblance of a smile at Samantha. “I’ll be out in a minute.”

The door closed again and Alice took one last look at herself before going back into the bustling crowd. She knew Simon would be pissed at her, but she couldn’t bring herself to care much any more.

Mustering all her strength, she walked out of the bathroom and back into the throng. As soon as she stepped back into the room, Simon was on her like a baying hound.

“Where the hell have you been?” He demanded, his voice low and a fake smile on his face.

“I had to use the ladies room.”

“Well, we’re run off our feet here. Get another tray and serve people.”

“Yes boss,” Alice intoned.

As she was about to walk away, Simon grasped her arm and shot her a look designed to kill. “I’m watching you Alice. I want to see you with a tray in your hand, making nice to the esteemed guests of this event.
