Gabriel entered the house. From the kitchen she heard the voices of her husband Richard and her friend Olivia. This surprised Gabriel.
– Hello! – she greeted her husband and her friend who was drinking tea.
– Gabriel, hi. Sit down with us to drink tea, – the guest shamelessly invited.
Gabriel and Olivia worked in the same office. Once Olivia rescued Gabriel, and since then they became friends. They walked, talked on the phone, visited each other. At the same time, they differed in temperaments.
Olivia had a light character and a frivolous attitude to many things. She was not at all interested in the opinion of others, and she did not gossip about others. She lived for her own pleasure and rejoiced in the success of others. Men in her life changed almost every year. One would run away, the other would turn out to be a bastard… And now she is at home with Richard. Gabriel did not notice any worries in her friend, but something must have made her come unannounced.
– Gabriel, you have me for a reason. Briefly, mine turned out to be a bastard.
– Mark?
– Who else? We had a scandal yesterday. It almost came to hand-to-hand combat. In the end he kicked me out. And there are people living in my apartment.
– Can’t you make up? What started it?
– It was stupid. And it ended… Anyway, will you give me shelter for a while? Until I settle things with my tenants and move to my own apartment.
Gabriel looked at Richard. The man nodded.
– “Of course, stay,” Gabriel replied.
Olivia is crazy, of course, but you can’t drive your friend out of the house. And life does not teach her anything, because she has repeatedly got into similar events. “The old woman is almost forty years old, and reckless adventurism is still leaking out of her,” – Gabriel thought. Olivia was glad to have the help of her friends. Having finished her tea, she went to the room allocated to her to put her stuff away.
In the evening, her grandmother brought her son Gabriel and Richard, and they all played various board games, of which there were many in the house.
