Beginnings | Gen & Emery
The sheer confidence in the woman’s voice was enough to have Emery jerking back in surprise – this Genevieve was straight to the point and harbored no shame in it. A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips because even in her sleep deprived and stress riddled mind, she could appreciate that. Although, the fact that she happened to speak with that much confidence concerning who she was, did throw up warning flags in the back of her mind. If this woman happened to be from the LES, where drug lords and blood thirsty killers were tracking her like prairie dogs, she’d made a mistake thinking this conversation was a remotely good idea.
Humming into her coffee, Emery nodded her head and waiting for the discussion to continue. For whatever fate had up its twisted sleeve to present itself. At Genevieve’s words, she furrowed her brows before placing the drink onto the table once more.
“My apologies, if this comes off rude,” she started, arms crossing loosely over her chest, “But I have no idea, who the fuck you are and if I were involved in anything illegal, do you think I’d be so stupid as to admit that to a complete and total stranger?” Emery’s tone wasn’t coarse; she spoke the words casually as possible not wanting to cause a scene in the middle of her second abode. It wasn’t that she did have any immoral habits (her brother took that cake and ate it like a starving man), she just didn’t appreciate the sudden feel of being in an interrogation room.
Genevieve waved her hand dismissively, shaking her head while she spoke, "Not rude in the least; I would've said the same thing." The girls tone was solid, not shaky or wavering. The words had intent and strength behind them, not rehearsed and certainly not a lie. When people lied, it usually took them more time to get through it, time Gen used to simply stare back at them with a blank face, waiting for them to finish so that she could tell them they had just wasted their own time as well as hers. The girl wasn't a drug addict. Of that much Gen was sure. She didn't need any other confirmation.
"Anyway, as I was about to say," She leaned closer over the desktop, not wanting their conversation to be overheard. "We have a mutual friend, perhaps acquaintance for you? Victoria- I believe she's your counselor? She has informed me of your situation."
Clasping her hand around her coffee she took a quick sip, not leaving enough room for Emery to interject, "No details, of course- I have no idea what the circumstances are and I don't need to. All I needed to know was that you are clean." She paused again, giving the girl another once-over, noting probable confusion. Genevieve hated wasting time- she needed to get right to the point.
"Okay, I have a job opportunity for you. It pays more than any other job you would be able to get in the city, and you can choose your own hours." Bringing the cup to her lips once more, she took a longer sip, wondering what the girl could be imagining the job to be. It seemed fairly obvious in her mind, though the typical "prostitute" was such a crude term; one Genevieve detested. She didn't manage prostitutes. No way in hell Bijou Noir is nor, or ever has been affiliated with prostitution.
"I run a unique type of night club.."
