After the thunderstorm settled, Denise and her coworkers all decided to leave work early after congregating one final time. They made a private Facebook group chat, exchanging each other's contact information so they all could keep in touch and help each other look for new jobs.
Ever since they left the office, Denise's friend Tonya had frequently messaged her all day about her little visit in Evan's office. After finally agreeing to tell her friend everything, Denise invited Tonya to her place to tell her all the details over takeout.
After ordering takeout and getting her daughters situated, she put on a movie for them in their bedroom as she heard a knock on the front door. Inviting Tonya in, they made their way towards the living room.
As the two women settled down, both unpacked their dinners while Tonya poured two full glasses of Pinot Noir. She handed one glass to her friend and both started to eat as Denise began to tell Tonya everything.
"So, remember that 'remote job' Evan had helped Amber get and I said it sounded like a scam?" Denise asked.
"Yeah?"
"Well...it's a website like OnlyFans and Evan helped kick-start her online channel." Denise said.
Tonya gave her friend a confused look as she was not expecting that for an answer. She took a sip of wine and asked Denise more about it.
"Wait, so you mean she has been showing her ass on the computer?" Asked Tonya.
"Yes...and I have too."
Tonya wide-eyed her friend as she was floored at her response. She began to chug her glass of wine before pouring another for herself.
"Girl, you are braver than I am." Tonya laughed, "I don't know about all that. I mean I am not judging you, but that's kinda risky in my book."
"I got over five grand on my first night."
"Ffffff.....FIVE THOUSAND?!" Tonya shouted as she accidentally choked on her wine. "HOT DAMN GIRL, GET IT!"
Denise laughed at her friend's response as they both soon finished eating dinner. She took another sip of wine and proceeded to continue with her story.
"When Evan first told me about it, I wasn't too keen on the idea. Once I got home and checked my mail, I received a huge court bill and needed the money fast. There was no way I could get a regular job around here that paid well. I didn't want to risk losing my girls, so I was curious. I messaged Evan and he came over to help set up a bunch of video equipment in my room. Once he set up my account, it...happened."
Tonya grinned from ear to ear as she liked where this story was heading.
"So you and Evan then did the deed huh..." She teased, "does your audience know y'all co-workers?"
Denise shifted her eyes to the left. She took another swig of wine as the guilty look on her face told Tonya something else was up.
"Not quite..."
"What do you mean?" Tonya asked.
"They...they think he's my son."
Tonya belted out a laugh as tears were rolling down her face. Although Denise had a chuckle herself, Tonya was enjoying this moment a lot more. While trying to calm her down, Denise continued to tell her friend more details about her and Evan's escapades.
In the midst of their conversation, Denise's phone began to ring. Glancing at the screen, both her and Tonya saw that it came from an unknown caller.
"Ooh, I bet that's your man now!" Smiled Tonya.
