Chapter 595: A New Friend
"He is not gay."
The words resonated in her head as Autumn continued to do the design for the proposal in her office.. She shook her head and tried to focus on the task at hand. It was quiet tonight but that did not help her. She didn’t know why the fates were intent on taking her on an emotional roller coaster ride, giving her hope one minute and killing it on the other.
First, they’d been looking for the figurine, then the key and now that they’d finally found the key and the USB drive hidden inside, it was still disappointing. There was an error on the drive and Gabe had sent it to his brother to help retrieve anything on it. And instead of worrying about what might be found on it, since her mother had gone to such lengths to hide it from that man, she was worried about Gabe not being gay.
She knew she should feel cheated or maybe betrayed that he was not. That was the only thing that had made her feel safe. And now that she knew he was not gay and she was not scared, she was at a loss.
If only she could talk to someone. But she had no friends... As she sighed in disappointment, she suddenly remembered a conversation between Nora and Isabella and the others whent hey had visited. Nora had insisted that she be added to the ’Frosty Girls’ group chat, even if she was a ’Frosty’ in name only...
"We Frosty girls need to stick close and be best friends. Or these boys would roll all over us..." Nora had murmured to which Isabella had snorted," But we like our boys rolling over us... or us over them..."
"We like that for sure! But still, girls need girls. So, Autumn, anytime you feel the need to talk, just hop into the chat."
Autumn hesitated for a moment before pulling out her phone. The "Frosty Girls" group chat was something she hadn’t really engaged with, not even reading the chats, but tonight, she felt the need for talking.
She ignored the previous messages and started typing out," Anyone around for a chat?"
