Joan never heard from Alex since that night. She called on two occasions and did not get an answer, so she gave up, but Violet had moved in with her, making Alex's absence less impactful.
With the two women going to work at the same time and arriving almost at the same time, life was good, and they felt like the men weren't needed in their lives anymore.
After all, they had enough bodyguards and servants, making it look as if the only things missing from their lives were intimacy, which they were comfortable living without.
Most of the days were fun, and others tiring when office work screamed for their attention.
They had even spent a month with Joanna's mother and a week with Violet's parents, making it all worthwhile. But as the days turned to weeks and weeks to months, Joanna wished Alex would not return.
