"Who's Francesca?" I ask as we ride the elevator up to her loft. Of course she has the penthouse suite.
"The maid my mom hired me." She shakes her head and rolls her eyes. The elevator dings and the doors open.
"Holy crap." I breathe out as I enter the massive suite. Who wouldn't want to stay here? I glance around taking in the vastness of the place. I think I've seen enough big things today.
"Ms. Davies." An older woman, with pale white skin and gray hair appears from behind a wall.
"Francesca what are you doing here?" Ashley asks walking over to the woman.
"Oh, Mrs. Davies told me to-"
"I don't care what my mom says, Francesca." Ashley shakes her head, putting her hands on the old woman's shoulders. "You don't actually have to come in. You'll still be paid, I promise." Ashley tells the woman.
"Oh no no, I can't do that." She shakes her head.
"Yes you can." Ashley nods. "And you will. Now go home, you have a family you could be with right now."
"But I wouldn't-"
"I'm not taking no for an answer Frannie now go." Ashley shoo's the woman towards the elevator. The woman looks scared, I would be too if I worked for Christine. She's kinda scary. Ashley shows the woman out before heading back in the living room to me. "That's Francesca." She tells me rolling her eyes.
"This place is amazing." I say, looking around. It's so huge and...huge. I grab my camera from my bag and start snapping pictures.
"It's okay." She shrugs and sits down on her red couch. "Do you always carry that with you?" She asks with a raised brow.
And yes.
I did say her red couch.
I know right?
"Duh." I don't even bother turning to face her as I continue to snap pictures of any and everything. "Are you kidding me, this place is-"
"Not me." She cuts me off, patting the spot next to her on the couch. I sigh, wanting to take more pictures but how can I deny Ashley right now? I place my camera down on the table and take a seat next to her on the couch.
"Can I ask you a question?" I turn to her and ask as I sit down next to her.
"Mhm." She nods, pulling me closer to her. My back is now to her front.
"Why don't you want to live here? I get you saying it's not you but I mean, this place is amazing."
"I don't want to owe them anything." She states simply.
"Your mom, is she-"
"Crazy? Pushy? A psycho? Yup." She purses her lips and nods. I chuckle and shake my head.
"She's not that bad."
"Honestly Spencer, she's the worst."
"So you turn down living in this amazing place just because you don't wan to owe your parent's anything?" I question just for clarity.
"It's more than that. I guess I just, I don't want them to feel like I need them, cause I don't I have my own money and my place. I don't-"
"So you live with Lexy like permanently?" I question, cutting her off.
"I mean, I guess. If I'm not staying with one of the guys or Stacy then yeah, I'm at Lexy's." She nods as I turn to look up at her.
"Does Lexy know about this place?" I ask, turning back around.
