Chapter 235 - Blind Date

The following day, Persephone was dressed up finely and was knocking on Valencia's door. 

"What?!" Valencia was still in her nightdress when she opened the door. 

"Get your shit together, best friend," Persephone said entering the room. She opened Valencia's wardrobe and picked out a dress. "Dress up and we are going out." 

"Where?" Valencia said with a sigh. She wasn't in condition to get out of the room. 

"We will get our hair and nails done. We will shop until I make my husband's bank balance bleed. And then, we will eat everything I couldn't eat when I was pregnant," Persephone announced, placing her hands on her hips. 

Since he wasn't talking to him, she was going to force him in the back corner. She would make sure that he got unlimited bank messages. Let's see if he would talk to her then or not! 

"I heard Santiago is ignoring you," Valencia couldn't help but say. 

Persephone scoffed, waving her hand. "It's not just him who is ignoring me. I am ignoring him too." 

"It means you guys are ignoring each other," Valencia said, narrowing her eyes. 

"Something like that," Persephone muttered. 

"Do you guys realise that it's the age when you stop acting like kids?!" Valencia said, rubbing her forehead. "Think about Norie. Now that we are going out. Who is going to take care of my niece?" 

"Of course, her papa," Persephone said as a matter of fact. "Since he loves his daughter more than his wife, he should take care of her for a day." 

Valencia sighed. "Whatever helps you pass your day!"

He wasn't talking to her and Persephone was so desperate, what would she do if he brought a woman home? 

… 

"This haircut will look amazing on you," Persephone said as Valencia chose what haircut she would like to have. "But are you sure about short hair?"

Valencia was a beautiful brunette with long hair. And now that she was choosing to cut her hair middle length and dying them blond, Persephone could imagine her looking pretty. 

Valencia nodded. "A wise woman once said cutting hair marks the beginning of cutting bullshit from your life." 

"And I wonder who this wise woman is?" Persephone raised her brow. 

"Oh, it's Valencia Vitello," Valencia replied with a grin. Pointing at another catalogue, she said to the woman who would be doing her nails. "I want to do my nails in this style." 

"Can you please give her a light makeover in the end?" Persephone said to the makeup artist. 

"I don't want a makeover," Valencia immediately said, making Persephone roll her eyes. 

"Come on, best friend, we are on date," Persephone pointed out. "And I didn't get the chance to glam up with a baby in my tummy. I don't know when we will have another chance for a day out. Let's enjoy it, please." 

"Fine," Valencia said with a sigh. It had been a long time since Persephone had a relaxing day and so she didn't want to spoil it for her. She was too lenient with Persephone as the latter occupied a soft spot in her heart. 

Persephone chose what kind of hairstyle she wanted and since Eleanora was too young, she chose not to get her nails done. 

"This will look perfect on you," The hairdresser said with a genuine smile. "But are you sure you want a dramatic change in your hairstyle? You have waist length hair. Are you sure about cutting them this short?" 

Persephone nodded her head. "I have a newborn. It's difficult to take care of my hair with my baby. Moreover, I am lazy by nature. I often forget to brush my hair. I'm not made to take care of long hair." 

The hairdresser nodded her head. "This hairstyle will look cool with your frame." 

"Oh my god, you look stunning,"Valencia gasped as she saw Persephone after her hair was done and done. " Shoulder length hair makes you look chic. But I'm telling you Santiago is going to lose his shit!"

Persephone flicked her straight soft hair and grinned proudly. After paying, they entered a high end store. 

Valencia's eyes fell on a mannequin and gasped at the sight of a beautiful dress. "I'm getting that one." 

"Go try it on," Persephone nodded and the shop attendant went ahead to help Valencia while she was looking for an outfit for herself. 

When Valencia appeared wearing the gorgeous black lace dress, she was looking no less than a goddess. The shop attendant had paired her dress with black heels. 

"You look like a goddess," Persephone gasped. "Let me click your picture." She took several shots of Valencia in the sexy little black dress before moving to buy more. She didn't let Valencia change as it would be sin to not enjoy such a beautiful piece of clothing. 

"What do you think about a blind date?" Persephone suddenly asked her. 

"Blind date?" Valencia furrowed her brows. "With whom? Nash and I are finally over." 

"I'm not talking about Nash," Persephone said. "If I tell you that I set you up on a blind date, what are the chances that you will not murder me right here?"

"You did not," Valencia looked at her in horror. She should have guessed that Persephone was planning something evil. 

"Just thirty minutes, Val," Persephone begged. "He will be here in two minutes. Please for my sake." 

"This is not cool at all," Persephone gave her best puppy eyes. "Please. If you go on this blind date, I will believe that you and Nash are over." 

"Fine," Valencia scoffed. "Just once. And I am just going to say no to him." 

"Fine by me," Persephone sighed in relief. "He is waiting for you in the restaurant." 

"You planned it from the beginning, didn't you?!" Valencia gasped as she entered the restaurant. 

"Just give the waitress your name and she will take you to the table," Persephone shouted from behind.. After sending Valencia for her blind date, she searched her gallery to find a sexy shot of Valencia and posted it as her story.
