Chapter 1110 - Back from Austin (J&J edition) (2/2)
”Don't worry. I will go with Bridgette and I never leave the house without bodyguards.”
JoAnna suspects that Melodie was not honest when she said that she hates her previous lifestyle. There is a chance that she told her parents about their offer to get her out for information, and that she came here as a mole. Maybe to give them the wrong information, or maybe to get close to Jeff. In any case, JoAnna will get to the bottom of that.
…
Later that day, JoAnna and Bridgette are in the dining room of the safehouse, having lunch in silence.
They spoke with Melodie who was unable to hide her displeasure that Jeff didn't come in person to talk to her. JoAnna didn't have any patience for Melodie and she gave her a dose of the truth serum. Few minutes later, Melodie admitted that she accepted their offer to come by exchanging information after talking to her parents.
”I told them that Jeffrey's people approached me at the party. My daddy is smart, and he realized that Jeffrey knows Marcus is up to something and that Jeffrey will not take it lying down. Daddy gave me some files and told me to be good to Jeffrey. In this way, if Marcus fails with his plans, we have a backup and our family will not go down.”
JoAnna could not believe what she heard. She asked Melodie: ”You realize that your parents are using you, right?”
Melodie shrugged. ”What is strange about that? Everyone is using someone. My parents raised me, and this is my way of giving back.”
”Didn't they make you sleep with other men?”, Bridgette had to ask.
”My parents didn't make me do anything. Sometimes they ask me to treat certain people well. I decide if I want to sleep with someone or not. It's not like I did it for nothing. It was always an exchange of favors, resources, or some other benefits.” Melodie rolled her eyes at the shocked faces of JoAnna and Bridgette. ”Why are you making it a big deal? Many of those old geezers can't get a hard-on. Kissing and a bit of fondling is how much they go. As for others, it's not more than fifteen minutes, is it? You shower and wash it away, and it's like nothing happened…”
Back to lunch…
”What will you do with her?”, Bridgette's question broke the silence.
”I don't know. I suspected that something is not right, so I was mentally ready to blow up, hurt her. But after hearing her normalizing such a behavior… I don't know. I guess that the biggest shock for me is that she does not care if it's Jeff or some sixty-year-old man. She sees giving her body in the same way as exchanging things.”
”She does not value herself as a person.”, Bridgette concluded.
JoAnna agreed with that statement. ”We have everything recorded. Jeff will listen to it and he can do whatever he wants. I am done.”
Bridgette understood that the topic is over. ”Let's finish food. We have meeting in one hour downtown.”
”Meeting?”
”Three DJs are going to meet with us in a club to demonstrate what they got. If all goes well, by 3 PM we will finalize music for Jeff's birthday party. After that, we are set for a sweet date with four bakers. The best in town. Cake samples will be ready at 4 PM.”, Bridgette explained.
JoAnna lit up. ”You are the best!”
