A Salon Story — Chapter 4
The streets were alive with a gentle bustle on this lovely day. Trevor walked with a determined stride, headphones on, lost in a world of his own. Suddenly, a carriage rounded the corner at high speed, its wheels clattering dangerously close. A hand shot out, pulling him back to the sidewalk with a firm grip. “Be careful,” a voice with a French accent said. Trevor’s eyes widened. “Hey! It’s you. The French waiter from the Dressrious Salon!”
The man smiled. “You remember me? I’m surprised. That was just my summer part-time job. I’m back in college now.” “That’s great,” Trevor said, dusting himself off. “I was just about to grab some coffee. Wanna come?” “Sure.” They crossed the street and headed into the small, cozy café. “I’m Spion, by the way,” the man said, extending a hand. “I’m Trevor.”
As they sat down, Spion looked at him intently. “I know you. Your father is a famous artist, right? The painting in the hall of the Salon is his work.” “Yeah,” Trevor admitted, a little embarrassed. “I would be proud,” Spion said. “Well, I’m just a self-employed programmer. Nothing to be proud of.” “So, you make apps? That’s cool. I love apps. Tell me about them, I might introduce your app to my friends,” Spion said, pulling out his phone. “No, not cell phone apps,” Trevor corrected. “I make tools for other developers. What about you? What are you studying?” “Finance, first-year postgraduate student.” “That’s awesome! Are you familiar with quantitative finance? I have some ideas about the stock market, but I don’t know much about it.” “That’s great! We should hang out more. Maybe we could even start a business together,” Spion suggested. “Great! But why did you have a part-time job at the Salon, not some big bank?” Trevor asked. “I don’t have recommendations,” Spion said. “I just arrived in this country two months ago. Besides, Mr. Dressrious gave me a very generous offer, and I hoped to meet some celebrities.” “Yeah, there are definitely a lot of celebrities in the Salon,” Trevor agreed. “I only know you,” Spion said with a grin. “Most people just ignore the waiters.” “I’m not a celebrity. My dad is.” “You are,” Spion insisted. “Not because of your dad, but because of the Gossip News and the Queen.” Trevor cringed. “Please, don’t. That’s really embarrassing.” “Sorry,” Spion said. “I just thought you were one of the elite. You went to that private high school.” “No,” Trevor sighed. “My dad wasn’t famous at that time. We were very poor. He worked so hard to put my sister and me through that school.” “He’s a great father for caring so much about his children’s education,” Spion said. “I used to think that too,” Trevor replied, his eyes clouding over. “Then I realized he just wanted to get close to someone.” Spion’s smile faded. “Who?” “It’s not a big deal anymore,” Trevor said, finishing his coffee. “I gotta go. A lot of bugs to fix today.” “I should go too,” Spion said, standing up. “Will you be at the Salon’s party next Sunday? Mr. Dressrious gave me a free ticket for my summer job. It’ll be my first time as a guest.” “Sure. See you then,” Trevor said. “See you.” They separated at the door and walked in different directions.
Sois prudent, Trevor, you may have found a cute ear to listen, but you’re talking way too much about yourself and your dad. And for a guy who just met you, Spion seemed to know a surprising amount about your private life. The real question is: who knows who, and what’s his agenda? We’ll see what goes down at the next Salon party. You know you love me.
XOXO, Gossip News.
