Fatal Affairs

Chapter Twenty

Iris looked around the mansion in awe, she turned to look at Logan who was already staring at her.

"Why am I here?" She resumed admiring the house.

"You said you wanted to use the bathroom" Logan walked off, Iris ran to catch up with him.

"Of course, I want to use the bathroom" Iris said.

Logan walked up the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Iris was panting softly, trying to keep up with him.

"Taking you to the bathroom and no more questions Iris" Logan turned to look at her briefly.

"Don't you have any bathroom downstairs, I mean this house is way too big to not have a bathroom downstairs" Iris' eyes wandered about looking for any door that look like a bathroom door.

He walked into a room finally and pointed at the bathroom door.

Iris quickly dropped her purse and phone on the table.

She rushed into the bathroom and removed the dress, She checked if the price tag was still intact then sighed in relief.

Iris knew she had to make this as good as new because she couldn't even afford half the price of the dress.

She looked around the bathroom that was three times Sheri's living room, she opened the cupboards to look for what she could use to clean the dress.

Andrea waited for Taylor to leave Aspen before she made her way to him.

"I see you are making friends with the  traitor"
Andrea clicked repeatedly on the tablet in her hand.

Aspen chuckled.
"Aw, sweetheart is that jealousy I sense in your voice"

Andrea laughed wryly.
"You wish"

She looked up at Aspen.
"Your donation?"

Aspen laughs.
"Last time I checked, you don't want my stupid money"  Aspen made air quote with his fingers when he said "stupid"

"I was pissed off at the moment" Andrea replied.

"But come on, it's for charity......... Well in a way it is........" Andrea blows raspberries "you know what I mean."

"No I don't, we both know it's not for charity" Aspen watched Taylor with an amused expression on his face, she was talking to the Italians.

"Wells is running for mayor and since he has come to me for help, I'm trying to raise campaign money for him" Andrea notices that Aspen's attention was on Taylor.

She scoffs and hit Aspen lightly on his arm.
"Seriously?"

"Don't touch me ever again" Aspen warned sternly, his mood suddenly became cold.

"Noted" Andrea said sharply looking irritated.

"You can keep your money" She turned and walked towards some group of people.

Aspen ran his fingers through his hair, he grunted and walked out of the party.

Iris turned on the hair dryer again and kept it towards the dress. After a while she sighs in frustration and turns it off, the pink dress has lots of blue stain that isn't coming off.

"Come out Iris" Logan said aloud.

"I can't, I have to get this stain off" Iris replied.

"You can do that later"

Iris told her eyes.
"I rented the dress so I have to give it back"

Iris waited for a reply but Logan was quiet.

She became curious and wanted to know what was going on.

She stood still to hear if he will make any sound.

Iris expected him to offer to pay for the dress, so why hasn't he offered yet?

"Your phone is ringing, unknown caller" Logan suddenly said.

Iris dropped the dress and sprang out.

She quickly collected the phone from Logan with trembling hands and answered the call, Logan raised a brow at her actions.

"Hello?"

"Iris?" The woman laughs.
"Thank God it's you my darling, I've tried like five different numbers....."

Iris frowned.
"Becky?"

"Come on, is that how to address your mother after all this years?" Becky laughs again.
