Sweet Divorce

Rita was taking the things to the dressing rooms on the second floor when a svelte, pretty girl came up from the front.

Even from a distance, she was sure that this was Raymond’s secretary-

Susie Williams.

In her past life, because of the Colt affair, Susie and gang had been big characters up on the tabloid front pages for a whole month.

At that time, you could find their faces just from a casual glance at a tabloid magazine, so Rita’s impression of Susie was still fresh.

“Raymond’s suit?” Looking at the things in her hand, Susie walked up with an air of arrogance. “Hand it to me.”

“Hand it over already!”

Her hesitation seemed to irritate Susie.

Rita examined the woman before her, gaze falling on the phone bag belted to her waist.

As Susie yanked at her, Rita suddenly loosened her grip.

Susie fell over backwards on the floor, the clothes and makeup scattering in a mess over herself.

“I’m – I’m sorry.” Seeing that, Rita scrambled up.

But she didn’t help Susie up. Instead, while she was distracted, she swiftly inserted a black flash drive into her phone. Numbers and figments of code started rolling across the screen.

At that moment, Susie started to climb to her feet.

Looking at the drive still on the phone, Rita faked a fall and pressed down on Susie’s shoulder, her free hand quickly retrieving the drive.

“Where’d you come from – you meant that, didn’t you?” Susie flew into a rage over being held down and made to push Rita off her.

Prepared for it, Rita ducked off to the side. “I’m sorry. I released my grip without thinking about it. Are you all right?”

“What do you think!” Susie snapped through grit teeth.

Rita bit her lip and hurried to help Susie up, apologizing for three minutes before she was appeased.

Before leaving, she glared one last time at her and added, “No brains behind that pretty face of yours. You deserve to be an errand girl.”

Rita looked at a puffed-up Susie and shrugged, ignoring her.
