Asking For It (2/2)

"Naomi?!?" Claire's voice echoes in the large bathroom, sounding upset immediately after her sister's request.

Nea doesn't know if she's more shocked by Naomi's brazen request or by the fact that Claire is both jealous and frustrated for not having made such a request before.

Mira and Lucien's other sisters can't help but roll their eyes, but Lucien himself smiles.

"Stay out of this!!" Naomi quickly warns Claire.

Their relationship used to be that of best friends, but only because Claire never cared about Naomi getting everything she wanted. Now, they are clearly rivals, fighting for Lucien's constant attention.

"What the hell are you guys doing??" Eve raises her voice, speaking in her usual authoritative manner.

"What's the problem?" Naomi sarcastically asks. "Come on, let's not raise the level of hypocrisy even further."

"And here we go..." Amelia can't help but comment.
