Love and Deceit

"You know you're being a certified bitch. Don't you?" Lina asked. 


"Oh, please, don't be such a bore." Dora replied as she threw her weight casually, and landed on the sofa. 


"You accepted his gifts, and it's been two days now, two fucking whole days passed, yet you don't see the point in taking or returning his calls. What in God's name, are you trying to prove?!"


"Woah, woah, woah. Attitude girl, watch your attitude. Are we still talking about Tiberio here?"


"Look! You are just being difficult, Dora. And I know if you open your mind to him, you might just get to fall head over heels in love with him. He's got beauty and lots of cash. I mean, he's fucking wealthy and has got eyes for only you. What else do you want, girlfriend? You know, it doesn't always have to be all about the job for you. You are not getting younger, you need some actual love experience."
