I Caught My Friend's Dad Cheating And Took Money For Silence
Hello friends. I would like to... I have to... Okay, I just really, REALLY need to tell this story to somebody. It has been too long that I have been keeping someone else's secret, and at first I thought that I was doing everything right. But now I am tormented by guilt, and I desperately need some advice.
My name is Megan and I'm sixteen years old. I have a best friend Olivia Younger, and her birthday is a couple of months later than mine. One day, I got this idea to throw the coolest birthday party ever for my best friend! And, can you imagine, it was exactly what Olivia's mom was going to ask me to do! She said that I knew their Olivia almost better than she and her husband did, so I was the one who could do everything to make their daughter happy on this special day. Do you see now what huge responsibility I had on me?
We decided that the party would be hosted at the Younger family's country house. This house was equipped with everything we needed for the party of the century: guest rooms, a barbecue area, a large courtyard, and even a swimming pool. And it was also a very special place for Olivia and I – when we were just two little kids, my parents bought a country house, and they went to their neighbors in order to introduce themselves. And those neighbors were the Younger family. That was how Olivia and I met.
Unfortunately, my family has become a bit unlucky financially since those days. My parents do not want to sell our country house, but they have absolutely no time to spend there – they have to work all the time. As for Olivia’s parents, they are much more successful — Mr. Younger works in the IT field, and only occasionally needs to go to the city to take part in meetings at the head office. The rest of the time he lives and works in the country house. Mrs. Younger and Olivia come to see him every weekend. But for some reason when Mr. Younger found out about our plans to celebrate Olivia's birthday at the country house, he was… almost angry. I guessed that he just did not want to have this noisy party in the house since he had probably gotten used to living and working alone.
Well, the party day had finally arrived. The plan was that the party had to be a surprise for Olivia, whereas I, accompanied by several friends, had to arrive in advance in order to arrange the sun loungers, to set the tables, to meet the couriers from the catering company, to double check the sound system and other music equipment together with my school friend who agreed to work as a DJ at the party. So, in general, there was heck of a lot of work! I was very nervous, still unsure that I would have enough time to prepare everything for Olivia's arrival. I hardly slept the night before the party and as soon as I woke up, I phoned my team of assistants and asked them to arrive at the place a couple of hours earlier than we had agreed to before. I did not call Mr. Younger to warn him about this: he explicitly asked me to leave him alone before the party started, as he had some kind of urgent work to complete.
But when my friends and I arrived at the Younger's country house, I urgently needed to use the bathroom. I remembered Mr. Younger’s demands, but I decided that I wouldn’t interfere with his work if I quietly snuck into the house and used the guest bathroom. I was sure that I would not see anyone! And when I suddenly saw Mr. Younger’s wide back in front of the guest bathroom door, I was very embarrassed and wanted to just leave quietly. But I heard Mr. Younger's tender voice saying: “You will have to hurry, baby — they will be here in a couple of hours.” At first I thought that Mr. Younger was talking to me! And then... I realized that there was a girl standing in front of him. She was short, so I did not see her right away, but now I clearly caught sight of her, and... oh God, she was dressed in only a man’s shirt!
I was totally shocked! This girl could not be anybody else but Olivia's father's... mistress? And as if to make me absolutely sure, they started kissing. I was so overwhelmed that I completely forgot that I needed to use the bathroom. I hurried back to the exit, but accidentally bumped into the wind chimes that were hanging not far from the door. Mr. Younger pushed the girl into the guest bathroom, and judging by the movement of the doorknob, she locked herself in from the inside...
Obviously, Mr. Younger thought that I had just entered and did not see anything. We exchanged a couple of polite phrases, and I explained why I arrived earlier and why I did not warn him... It seemed that Mr. Younger was barely listening to me...文本并非一一对应，且不完整(我没有全文)，仅供参考阅读
