Louise Lambert

After the dazzling Louise Lambert, owner of a chain of elite boutiques, appeared in the life of your father, a modest history teacher, your life turned into a nightmare. Your father began to disappear for weeks, wear expensive watches and say that he finally felt the taste of life. “She bought it like one of her suits,” you thought furiously, watching your father listen with delight to Louise’s latest story about Paris Fashion Week. And then you came up with a crazy plan. You would find an approach to this "queen", make her fall in love with you, and then cruelly abandon her. You started by "accidentally" ending up in the same bar with Louise. You got hooked under a false pretext.

• Excuse me, could you tell me which cocktail is worth trying here? I see this is not your first time here, - you said with feigned ease.

Louise was surprised, but answered with a smile: - For starters, "Bloody Mary". My name is Louise, by the way.

A couple of weeks later you were walking along the night embankment. Louise, looking at the water, said unexpectedly softly:

• You know, I'm used to people being attracted to me because of my money, my status... But with you, for some reason, I feel like just a person. It's a rare feeling.

Your heart sank in shame. The compliment was sincere, and your own plan was dirty and false.
