There were plenty of open tables, yet Desmond chose one by the window.
He threw a quick, subtle glance at the black

parked across the street.
Suzy caught his silent maneuver, offering a wry smile as she took her seat. “My time is short, Mr. Hill, so let’s skip the pleasantries.”
Desmond leaned in with a friendly smile. “What would you like to drink, Mrs. Wright?”
Knowing the title would irritate her, he quickly added, “I know you don’t like m
you that, but three years of habit is hard to break. Divorce or not, you’ll always be Wright‘ in my eyes.”

Suzy gave him a look, a mix of bemusement and mild exasperation. “Mr. Hill, you do much better as the cool and collected type. Now, just say what you need to.”

“Guess that tactic wasn’t going to work twice,” he thought, feeling slightly awkward as he called over the server and ordered two coffees.
Once they arrived, he cut to the chase. “I wanted to meet to talk about Mr. Wright.”
She leaned back in her chair, arms crossed, an amused smile on her face. “And what about him? We’re divorced, so he’s nothing more than a stranger to me.”
In other words, she wasn’t interested.
Desmond pretended not to catch her meaning and took the coffee from the server, sliding a cup over to her as he continued. “You know, Mr. Wright may seem distant, but he’s got a warm side. He’s actually very good to his family–and even his employees…”
Suzy swirled her coffee, a smirk playing on her lips. “Oh, I know. Especially with Anne. He’s always been very ‘good‘ to her.”
Desmond, relieved she’d brought up Anne, seized the opportunity. “That was in the past. He doesn’t have any ties to her anymore.”
“So?” Suzy shrugged, her expression indifferent. “What does that have to do with me?” Desmond was speechless and thought, “It got nothing to do with you at all? Really?” “Mr. Wright’s feelings for Anne were rooted in gratitude. She saved him once, and out of that, he felt he owed her…” Desmond started.
“Such gratitude is between him and Anne. I don’t need to hear it, and I don’t want to, interrupted, checking her watch. “And with that, our ten minutes are up. Thank you for the coffee, Mr. Hill.”
