Looking across the table, it's to see Venezia awkwardly attempting to make conversation with Elizabeth—or, Elizabeth mostly prattling away—and Sisi watching Eleanor with sharp eyes.
Nodding to come closer, Sisi whispers in my ear.
"Eleanor is the worst. She did the same with Vlad the first time we met her, even though I told her straight up I was his wife."
"And? What happened?" I don't think for a second Sisi would have stood by and let that happen.
A smile tugs at her lips.
"I would have done a lot worse, but Vlad saw my mood worsening and he was the one who blurted something out," she chuckles.
"What?"
"He told her to use a deodorant," Sisi chortles, covering her mouth with her hand.
"He didn't…"
"He did, and she was so mortified by the entire exchange she moved a few feet away. Of course, she didn't mention it to anyone."
"Raf is too nice to say something like that," I scrunch my nose.
"True, he is too much of a gentleman for that," she sighs.
Just at that moment, I note Eleanor lean in a little too close to whisper something in his ear.
Raf gives me a pained look that sayshelp, and I simply raise a brow at him.
"He might not be able to do anything, but I can," I wink at Sisi before I lean back in my seat.
Raf tries to ignore her attempts at conversation while engaging me in one, his entire body angled towards me as if he'd like nothing more than run away from Eleanor. Yet she's completely oblivious.
Worse yet, her father is even more so as he's wholly focused on his conversation with Vlad.
"Rafaelo…" she starts, and this time, Raf does theungentlemanly thing and ignores her.
"Rafaelo, I'm talking to you," she continues in a low enough tone to not get the attention at everyone at the table.
"Rafaelo," she screeches, her voice going up just a little, and when she sees she's getting nowhere, she lets out a loud huff, getting to her feet and telling her father she's going to the restroom.
"I swear to you pretty girl, I did nothing to encourage that," Raf finally says, his expression one of horror mixed with relief once she's gone from her side.
"I know," I coo lightly, leaning in to brush my lips against his. "You're too nice sometimes," I smile. "But let me deal with this," I wink at him just as I get up, excusing myself and brushing against Eleanor's seat to nick her fork from the table.
Luckily, the bathroom seems to be empty aside from her in her stall. Even better, she left her purse on the sink counter.
With quick efficiency, I open it up, browsing through the contents until I find something rather intriguing—a small container filled with medicine.
She takes quite a bit to do her business, and that gives me enough time to do a quick search on the internet to see what the meds are for.
And the result…
My lips curl up in a smile.
Now, I wouldn't want to make a scandal since her father seems to be someone important. But I can't allow her to continue like this either.
Flushing, she opens the door to her stall, coming out. When she sees me in front of the mirror, she snickers at me, proceeding to get a lipstick out of her purse and apply it all over her pouty lips.
"I have a question for you, Eleanor," I say as I continue to regard myself in the mirror, studying her only from the corner of my eye.
