Chapter Five

The next day, Jennifer went to Bruce’s mansion to spend time with him. It was still early morning and Enzo hadn’t contacted her to set an appointment yet. She secretly hoped that he couldn’t make it; indeed, she didn’t have the guts to see him again. She wasn’t sure she would be able to stay in control and keep her distance with him. If Enzo could simply cancel and go back to Thailand, things would be much easier for her. She wouldn’t forget him that easily but at least, Enzo wasn’t harmful when he was in her fantasies.

She kept thinking about her dinner with Victoria. Vicky was a very nice and friendly person despite her bossy attitude. They hadn’t talked about work at all but Jennifer knew that there was a lot she could learn from her. She seemed to be very mature and reliable. She was definitely a role model for her.

There was another subject that bothered her, though: Enzo Fancelli. Jennifer could tell that Vicky was in love with him, even though she had someone else. However, she had been the first one to admit that he was a playboy. No, not just a playboy - a bad boy. If a woman like Victoria couldn’t resist him, Jennifer couldn’t imagine the kind of aura and influence he had over women in general. She didn’t care about that, though; she was worried about his influence on Bruce.

Bruce was also very good-looking and had been a playboy himself. He had the looks and the money. Now, he had a buddy to party and show off seven nights per week. Jennifer knew that she couldn’t stop him from doing whatever he wanted to do - or “needed to do” as he liked to say. Whether Bruce actually needed to go out that much for his business or not, Jennifer couldn’t really tell but there was one thing for sure; his behavior was seriously compromising their future marriage.

She still loved him but getting married with such a party-boy who still acted as if he was single was out of question. In other words, Bruce needed to “get his shit together” if he still wanted to be committed to her - for life. So far, he wasn’t showing much improvement and there was a lot of work to do. Jennifer wondered how long his financial recovery would last. A month? Two months? Six months? A year? Anything more than a week was unacceptable. Fancelli seemed to live the high-life and there was no reason Bruce couldn’t follow him; that was a big problem.

Jennifer wanted to believe in their future but this situation was like a huge roadblock on their way to happiness. It wasn’t too late but it was a very negative sign. Bruce needed to stop acting like that or their relationship would suffer from it.

When she arrived at the mansion, Bruce was sleeping. He was still dressed and had only removed his shoes. Jennifer could smell the room filled with sweat, cold tobacco and alcohol.
