Dylan arrived at work the next day, ready to face the inevitable blowback for last night. She puffed out her chest as she exited the slowest elevator known to man and headed to the double doors, which opened to a cacophony of noises filtering through the ballroom coming from La Prizonye.
Her abrupt departure last night did not go unnoticed, at least not by Maxi. While there would be drama, it wasn’t enough to send a tidal wave of commotion flooding the corridor. Despite being late arriving, Dylan trekked toward the evening’s meeting with her mind replaying the events of the previous evening.
The sight of her loved one being touched by another woman was too much for Dylan’s heart to bear. The blame rested on her shoulders, and none of this would have happened if she had not hired Ari. This was just another example of poor decisions that riddled Dylan’s past. A life of minor crime marked the start of those choices. Ida was always there to bail her out of trouble. It occurred to Dylan that Ida’s refusal to give up on their relationship might be the reason behind her testing of it, as if daring her to walk away.
Thoughts of Ari and Ida were not the only targets of introspection. At twenty-one, Dylan tended the bar at The Pendulum. It was a different scene back then. As the only lesbian bar in the city, it was a safe place for women to have fun and explore their sexuality. She had a personable way that could soften even the angriest woman, and her natural charm drove the ladies to return night after night. Once Maxi learned of the young Dylan’s talents, she offered her a job.
“Come to Adytum and work for me,” Maxi said.
Dylan remembered being swayed by the unreal amount of money offered, so of course she accepted. Who wouldn’t want all the sex in the world plus be drenched in a waterfall of cash? She signed a nondisclosure agreement in blood, which signified her loyalty and the start of her relationship with Adytum.
