The girls went on to get ready as more of their coworkers started showing up. As expected, a fight broke out between Rose and Dalilah as soon as the latter arrived in the changing room. The two most popular girls just couldn’t see eye to eye. It got so bad that both Jacquie and Eden had to step in. She truly couldn’t have cared less about their rivalry, but if she had to pick a side, it would have been Rose’s. She had a terrible attitude, but at least she wouldn’t scream hysterically, get violent, and attack everyone as Dalilah did. Eventually, Dalilah left after another one of her terrible fits, making everyone sigh in relief.
“Eden, your… uh… leg…” mumbled Bella, suddenly.
Eden followed her gaze, all of her colleagues looking down at it too. Her skirt had been accidentally torn while stopping the fight, and a part of her metallic leg was exposed.
“Gross,” June muttered with a grimace.
“Hey!” said Bella, glaring at her.
“What? It’s the truth…”
“Your face is gross too, and no one says it,” retorted Rose, who was putting on her red lipstick.
“Fuck you!” angrily said June, standing up.
Since Bella and Lula were also glaring at her, June angrily left the changing room, slamming the door behind her. No one else said a thing, but Eden knew most of the girls actually silently agreed with June. Rose had probably only helped her as repayment for earlier and a way to pick at June, whom she didn’t like anyway. However, Eden didn’t really care.
“SIN, camouflage.”
Her fake skin immediately appeared, but her dress was still torn. Eden took it off, checking the tear.
“Crap…”
“It’s alright, I can sew it back,” said Bella.
“You’re going to be late for the opening...”
“It’s okay. It’ll only take a couple of minutes. Give it to me.”
Eden was really thankful. Bella grabbed her little sewing kit from her bag and immediately began working on the dress. One after the other, all the girls left the changing room as the customers were about to come in. Only Rose was taking her time, checking her curls and lipstick over and over.
“Ignore June,” said Bella. “She’s so rude…”
“I’m fine.”
“Alright, ladies, I’m off to get rich,” whistled Rose, going upstairs.
Eden and Bella watched her go upstairs with a frown on their faces. The music was already playing loudly, and from all the ruckus coming from the upper floor, they could tell there were probably a lot of guests already.
“I wonder who we’re expecting,” said Bella. “She hasn’t been this excited in a while. Here! Good as new!”
“Thank you, Bella. I owe you one.”
Bella chuckled.
“You already did. We got to play with the puppies! I’ll stay with them until someone takes their break; my client comes later today.”
“Thanks,” said Eden with a smile.
She went to pet her dogs a little, making sure they had food and water under her table and a couple of toys to chew instead of the girls’ stuff, and quickly went upstairs. Eden never really knew when one of her customers would show up. She wasn’t popular enough to have dates like the other girls did.
As she came up the stairs, she immediately realized the atmosphere felt a bit different than usual. Most of the customers had new faces, and despite their smiles, the girls were nervous. Eden walked up to Jack, who was also quietly wiping the glasses.
“Jacquie, what’s going on?” she whispered, grabbing a tray.
“Trouble, babe. Trouble…”
Eden frowned and turned around, looking over the room.
