Olympia is, in modern terms, the rebound. As per the story of Marguerite and Armand, she is the courtesan that Armand took as his lover after Marguerite had left him for, to him, unknown reasons and Olympia became his unsheathed knife, to cause his former lover as much pain and grief as possible. He paid for her services, he took her out on the town, he gambled for her and he flaunted all his riches, as is typical of men who fall in love with courtesans, except Armand had been very clear from the beginning, also towards Olympia: he was not in love with her, she was his tool and Olympia, wanting the money and to hurt Marguerite in equal measure, agreed to be used as such. Once he'd burned all his last bridges in regards to the other woman, Armand would leave Olympia with whatever she had gained from their relation and she would move on to other venues, other men, none the poorer and none the wiser. She'll continue her work until she becomes pregnant or manages to marry someone willing to take a woman of her reputation in. Or simply, until she dies. Marguerite's fate is the fate of many courtesans. Olympia, too, knows this. That is why she hated seeing her like that. Mirror, mirror.
