RISE OF EROS

When she was seen appearing at lunchtime, no one asked her the real reason for her absence at her breakfast either. However, Carolina had created a good relationship with the courtesans and when the lunch was over, she was swept away by them.

Carolina was surprised by the behavior of the girls, but she understood that they wanted to ask her or comment on something that was not convenient for Andrew to hear because they always behaved in this way when it was a situation of this type.

"Tell us, young lady, why didn't you show up at breakfast?" Dami asked with stars in her eyes a little impatient. The courtesans addressed Andrew as Young Master and as Carolina was his wife, they began to call her young lady, although she had told them it was not necessary.

Carolina's eyes widened at the unexpected question and almost subconsciously answered what had happened, but fortunately, she contained herself. She thought that if they were asking her, that meant that Andrew hadn't told them for some reason, so she dodged the question with another question.

"Didn't Andrew tell you why?" All the girls gave a wry smile and Sonia said, "He said you were tired from the errands you ran yesterday, but do you really believe we'll eat that story?", and before Carolina could say anything, Dami spoke again, "Yes, we're not stupid, tell us, did you stay up last night?"

All the courtesans seemed very interested in knowing the details. Even Helena and the new courtesans who still didn't know her well were present and wanted to know.

Carolina knew what Dami was insinuating about staying up all night and understanding that Andrew did not want the event she suffered to be known, she decided to bite the bullet and replied pretending, "Yes, it was too intense last night. I even fell unconscious and well, that's why I woke up late."

Even she herself was surprised at her good acting when saying that sentence since all the courtesans seemed to have believed her, but she did not expect that comment to generate a number of questions asking for details.

Helena and the new courtesans were surprised at how Carolina and the other courtesans talked about a private topic as if it were an everyday chat, but since they were also interested, they remained silent listening to the story.

When Carolina finally managed to get rid of the interrogation of the others, she headed towards the office to complain to Andrew about what she had to suffer, although it was not his fault, however, she still wanted to bother him but was stopped by Helena.

"Young lady, can I have a few words with you?" Helena asked very formally, which seemed very strange to Carolina, but she still agreed and told her, "No problem, let's go to the office."

Helena seemed unwilling to go to the office and a little nervous she spoke again, "I really would like to speak privately with the young lady, can we do it in my room?"

Her unexpected request made Carolina wrinkle her eyebrows because it seemed strange that Helena wanted to talk in her room, but seeing how nervous she seemed, Carolina felt that Helena had no bad intentions so she nodded and they headed there.

Once in Helena's room, they closed the door and sat on the bed since there was no other place to do so, and then an uncomfortable silence spread throughout the room.

Carolina watched Helena carefully, trying to understand what Helena's intentions were, but seeing her so nervous and having difficulty expressing herself, she could only smile at how tender the voluptuous and beautiful woman looked because she did not fit the image she expressed in her appearance.

"So, what did you want to tell me?" Carolina broke the silence, a little more relaxed. Seeing Carolina starting the conversation, Helena mustered all her courage and began to speak, "Young lady...", but she was interrupted, "You can call me Carolina in private".

"So... Carolina, I realized that you are very close to the courtesans to the point of telling them about your privacy and it made me curious." Carolina was taken by surprise again, because she didn't expect Helena to want to know about that topic, even so, she answered.

"Well, they've helped me a lot since I came to the Heavenly Palace," then Carolina paused and added, "But I'm sure that's not what you wanted to talk about, right?"

Helena smiled wryly seeing that Carolina had guessed her intentions and taking a deep breath she said again, "Well, not completely, what happens is that seeing how well you get along with them, I was wondering if you were angry or dissatisfied with me".

Helena's comment had managed to surprise Carolina again, but she soon wrinkled her eyebrows and when Helena noticed it, she panicked and explained, "It's just that since I got here, I've noticed that you treat me with a bit of suspicion".

Helena was silent after that comment and you could even see a bit of nervousness in her eyes it was normal since Carolina was the boss's wife, therefore, she was also her boss and she was afraid of bothering her, but she had really felt uncomfortable with Carolina's treatment and wanted to understand why.

Carolina unconsciously made a strange face, which Helena interpreted as that she was upset and this scared her, but Carolina wasn't really upset, she was conflicted because she knew it was all due to the unjustified jealousy she felt.

After a short internal battle of several seconds, Carolina sighed and decided to be honest, "I'm not mad at you, I'm just jealous."

Now it was Helena's turn to miss her. She didn't understand what Carolina was saying, and knowing that Carolina spoke again, "My husband is the first and only man in my entire life, but I also know that he will not be a one-woman man, and although I had psyched myself up to accept that fact When I saw that another beautiful woman appeared around him, jealousy invaded me.

When Helena heard Carolina's explanation, she understood everything immediately. Normally one would think that being surrounded by beauties, Carolina didn't care that Andrew was with other girls, but this was because at an unconscious level, Carolina knew that she was the most beautiful woman around him and she didn't feel threatened.

However, Helena was different. Although it was true that she was not prettier than Carolina, the difference was not much, Eros's eyes corroborated it, although Carolina did not know that, for her, it was only the simple eye of a woman who identified this.

After a few minutes of silence, Helena suddenly burst out laughing. It was so abrupt that Carolina jumped a little when she was taken by surprise and saw Helena laugh without any restraint to the point that she was rolling on the bed holding her stomach that ached from laughing so much, she painted herself red with embarrassment.

Helena showed no signs of stopping and Carolina got upset with a fake anger created by her embarrassment she hit Helena's ass with her palm while she said, "That's good enough, you're laughing too much".

Helena stopped laughing and rubbed her buttocks, pretending to be hurt by Carolina's slap, but it was just acting. Seeing how Helena was pretending, now it was Carolina who let out a little laugh, and out of nowhere, they were both laughing for no reason.

After a few seconds, they calmed down and again faced each other, but the tension that was there before no longer existed and Helena was the first to break the silence, "I understand your reasons now, but I think your problem lies in the fact of wanting to face the situation with reason".

Carolina wrinkled her eyebrows again, not understanding what Helena was saying, so the latter continued speaking, "You already know that the boss is not a one-woman man, but you know that in your head, your heart will still be a little resistant to that, so I think you should relax, instead of worrying about what your man will do with other women, you better get involved."

Helena's explanation was supposed to clarify her previous words, but Carolina only got more confused, and when Helena noticed that, she continued to explain, "Carolina, instead of worrying about the boss having sex with other women, why not do you participate with him?"

Now Carolina understood. What Helena wanted to tell her was for her not to withdraw from the situation, but for her to jump right in and participate. Although she understood, she did not share her point of view, because if she felt like this now, she could not imagine how she would feel if she participated, she believed that she would not bear it.

Helena noticed Carolina's conflict and with a smile, she said again, "Do you think it will be more difficult?", to which Carolina only nodded her head, and then Helena said, "Look at it this way, why see the other girls as competition? Isn't it better to see them as allies?"

Seeing that Carolina still didn't understand, Helena spoke again, "Carolina, don't see other women as if they wanted to take away your husband, but rather as a sister who shares your feelings, whether it's pleasure or love. Who knows you can even consider them your wives too".

Carolina understood what Helena was saying, but she couldn't process the image. She had never thought about it and, in fact, there is no anyone else who does. Although harems in this world are normal, the reality was that there was generally no harmony among the members of those harems, which is why Carolina couldn't process the image.

Helena also knew that, so she said, "I know there aren't many relationships like that, but tell me, will the boss dump you?" Then the image of Andrew appeared in Carolina's mind and for some reason instinctively she shook her head in denie.

"So what are you afraid of? Why get bitter on the subject? You better enjoy", Helena said, trying to convince her and seeing that Carolina was somehow beginning to accept her proposal, she smiled, hugged her and whispered mischievously in her ear, "Tonight I will visit your room and we will have a great time".
