A is for Annie 4 (WIP working title)
Added 2024-12-11 20:07:28 +0000 UTCWith her first month's paycheck now in the bank, Annie was growing gradually more accustomed to the routines and regulations of the clinic. She'd eventually even managed to pronounce bichectomy without chuckling.
It all still seemed somewhat insane, the money and time spent, the pain endured in pursuit of such obviously artificial beauty. She wondered if these clients, these plastic people, thought it was all worth it in the end, but never dared ask outright.
The Assistant, who was eventually introduced as Anya, explained that many of the clients, when not under the knife, were living lives of luxury, usually sunning themselves on some private beach or yacht beside their husbands or suitors. Money was not their concern, Anya explained, only beauty.
Annie had always resented the notion of Trophy Wives and her recent encounters with them had been a stark reminder of just how different she was to these hyperglam beings of leisure.
She pushed aside the fleeting notion that she might be infact, a little jealous, but the notion would return uninvited throughout the quiet moments of the days ahead.
