Chapter 31: Thabata’s thoughts

At first, May thought it was an aquarium. But on closer inspection, she saw no entry or any fish inside. Curious, she asked.

“What is it?”

“This is the Bubble Lie, an ancient relic.”

The appearance of the glass sphere filled with water did not look “old” and so May quickly showed her skepticism.

“It doesn’t look old.”

“But it is. You know, it’s one of those items found in other dimensions, worlds, or in ancient tombs around the planet.”

“What do you want with this item?”

“This item, the Bubble Lie, will throw jets of water whenever someone tells a lie, a half-truth, or evades the question by changing the subject. What I propose is: once a day, we will both have the right to ask one question to the other. When the question is asked, the other side has two choices: the first choice is to remain silent, without answering anything, and the second choice is, to tell the truth. If you don’t want to answer, don’t say anything, the bubble will know if you lie.”

May was silent, thinking about the proposal. She was immediately attracted to the item that apparently has magical properties. She has heard of items like this, and has even been involved with such an item before, but never used one.

“Why only one question a day?”

“This makes it more interesting, we spend more time getting to know each other, we don’t have to rush things. This item also has a usage limit.”

Slowly nodding, May smiled, pleased with the proposal, and said.

“Okay, let’s do this now.”

“Then touch the bubble.”

May nodded and reached out to touch the glass sphere. At first, she thought the sphere was hard, made of glass, but when she touched it, she realized something: it was flexible as if it were a bubble, only resistant. Feeling the smooth texture of the sphere, and squeezing, she thought it was a soap bubble filled with water.

Lucas, who had touched it before, knew that the sphere was hard as glass at first, but as soon as May touched it, it went limp as if it were made of plastic. He knew that this was the sign that the sphere was working: from that moment on, if they lie, they will receive jets of water in the face.

“The sky is purple.”

As soon as he finished saying, Lucas received a jet of water on his face, surprising May. With a smile, she said.

“The sun is black.”

She also received a jet of water and her face was wet. With both of them with wet faces, they smiled at each other and said at the same time.

“Ask the question.”

Realizing they said it at the same time, they tried twice more to get the other to ask first, and finally, May said.

“Okay, I ask.”

Lucas nodded in satisfaction, and looked at May expectantly, curious to know what she would ask. May, on the other hand, had so many questions, and she didn’t know what to ask first. After a few moments of silence, she left the room and went to the bedroom to see if the doorman was still sitting on the bed, and then came back and asked the question.

“What is your goal when approaching me?”

Lucas made a complicated expression when he heard the question since to give a complete answer, he felt he had to talk about a lot that he didn’t want to talk about yet. He regretted the situation a little with the Lie Bubble, but he still felt that this was a great way to deepen their relationship.

“Well ... It’s complicated, but if you want the short answer with the main reason, it’s simple: I like you. You are beautiful, smart, sexy, you have a good heart ... I like you, and I also want you to like me.”

“...”

May realized that there was no water jet, and was happy, although in part she was confused. What did he mean by being complicated?

“Why did you say it was complicated if it’s so simple?”

“Because there’s more to it than that, and I don’t want to say about the rest yet.”

May raised her eyebrows when she heard this and realized that the bubble did not release any jet. What else is there about it? She had no idea. After a few moments of silence, she spoke.

“Okay, ask your question then.”

Lucas smiled and asked without thinking too much.

“Do you like me?”

“...”

May was surprised, and temporarily did not know what to say. She didn’t know how she felt about Lucas. For now, she thinks she just feels sexual attraction to him.

“ ... I don’t know.”

After a moment, she replied, and strangely, a jet of water came out of the glass ball and hit May’s face, who was completely unprepared. For a few seconds, she stared at the glass sphere in silence, she didn’t know how the answer she had given was a lie.

Objectively speaking, she doesn’t know, but she clearly wouldn’t bring someone she doesn’t like to kidnap a hotel employee in search of information about Clovis. If she hated him, she would never have given him a blowjob.

These signs are more than enough to deduce that she likes Lucas, but as she was not sure, she decided to simply say that she didn’t know, it seemed to be the truth, but it isn’t.

Lucas, on the other hand, when he saw the jet of water hitting May’s face, smiled provocatively and kept smiling for a few seconds, trying to make fun of her. When May saw his smile, she was speechless again, and her cheeks flushed slightly; it was very embarrassing. Coughing a little to hide the embarrassment, she said, resigned.

“I like you.”

This time, the sphere did not react, and May simply nodded slowly, realizing that she really liked Lucas a little.

‘I think this sexual attraction between us helps.’

May thought as she remembered Lucas’s penis. Whenever she thinks about it, her lower parts tingle a little. Looking away for a moment, her eyes gazed at the bedroom door just in time to see the doorman trying to sneak out. Approaching quickly, she knocked him to the ground.

“Don’t even try.”

Catching him by the neck, May tried to pull him back to the bedroom, but an idea occurred to her. Loosening his neck, she went into the bathroom and watched for a while, examining the location.

Picking up some items and throwing them out of the bathroom, she turned to Lucas and asked him to tie his legs with the other curtain rope and tie his legs and hands together so he couldn’t even get up.

Lucas did what she asked, took the other rope, tied his legs, tying his hands at the end, making the man not even able to move properly. Throughout the process, he was screaming and cursing, but there was no way his screams reached anyone out of the room.

Finally, when he was completely tied up, May pushed him into the bathroom and closed the door. If he couldn’t get up, it would be impossible to try to open the door.

“Better plan; let’s go together.”

It would be better if he was unconscious, Lucas thought as he watched May leave the room. A skilled person would be able to open the door even with his hands and legs tied behind his back. The luck is that the doorman looks like an ordinary man, he didn’t seem particularly skilled, and since he had tied him up, it would be impossible for him to escape.

At the door, May put her ear to it and started listening, wondering if anyone was passing by. Currently, the doorman was screaming in the bathroom, spewing out some bad words. The bathroom is not close to the door, you can not hear anything with the door closed, but if she opens the door, and someone is passing by, it’s possible to hear the screams.

After waiting a few minutes and hearing nothing, May opened the door and walked out naturally. After taking a quick look down the hall and seeing no one, she smiled and looked at the door; Lucas had just left.

“Let’s get going.”

Lucas smiled and closed the door, they both flirted down the elevator. Lucas knew that May wanted to convey the following idea: a woman arrives with a brother at the hotel, becomes interested in the doorman, the two leave the brother in the room and go out to do “something”. She knew she didn’t have to try so hard since the chances of someone paying attention to it behind the camera are low, but she didn’t want to take any chances.

...

Not far from school, in one of the highest-class neighborhoods in the city, a car had just entered the garage of a mansion. The door opened, and a girl got out of the car. Long blond hair tied in a ponytail, tanned skin, slim body, and voluptuous body. A pretty face with a high nose, green eyes, long eyelashes ... It was Violette, had just arrived at home after leaving Lucas in front of the firm where May worked.

Keeping the key in the purse, she entered the house. The first person to greet her was a maid who, as soon as she saw her, asked.

“Did you arrive early? And the school?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Violette replied short and thick, the maid did not react much, already accustomed. One thing, however, she realized; Violette seemed to be in a bad mood. It’s not like the words are different than normal, but since she has been working at the house for over ten years, she saw Violette grow up and knew how to tell when she was in a good mood or not.

“Do you want to eat something?”

Before seeing Violette climb up, the maid asked, Violette’s answer was complete silence, she completely ignored her. When she saw this, the woman smiled bitterly and thought.

‘Who offended this little queen?’

After going up, Violette saw a woman leaving a room and approached. The woman looked a lot like Violette, an older version with milk-white skin. Apart from tan, the biggest difference is the height and size of the breasts; Violette was taller with bigger breasts.

“Mom, I’m glad you’re home. Give me Thabata’s number, I want to talk to her.”

The woman was surprised by Violette’s presence, and before she could ask, she received this strange request. Her eyebrows went up, and after analyzing Violette’s body language, she said.

“What do you want Thabata’s number for? And what happened? This morning you were in a good mood, and something seems to be bothering you.”

The woman’s name was Cheryl, Violette’s mother. Although she looked like a housewife, Cheryl was the CEO of a cosmetics company, and had, oddly enough, graduated in psychiatry, it was where she met her great friend Thabata, who also graduated in psychiatry.

The two studied together since their first year in college, and have been friends ever since. After graduating, Cheryl thought about pursuing her career as a psychiatrist, but she met Violette’s father and ended up marrying him. Marrying one of the heirs of the powerful Martin family gave Cheryl many perspectives, who decided to become involved in the cosmetics business after finding an opportunity.

She created the company from scratch just by borrowing some of the influence of the Martin family, something that not everyone can do, and created a famous brand that is among the top 10 in the country in the sector.

As a psychiatrist, Cheryl can read her daughter like the back of her hand. After all, much of her personality comes from her. Unfortunately, Violette grew up that way, much to her chagrin. She loves her daughter, and over the years she has tried to fix her despicable personality, but it is difficult to fix something like that.

It is not as if Cheryl was a good person with a good personality; she is usually arrogant and cold, but Violette far outperforms her in this regard, having something that even she doesn’t have; cruelty.

Cheryl’s diagnosis for Violette is that she is self-centered, narcissistic and manipulative, bordering on sociopathy.
