Once and for all.
Just then, Lisa's phone buzzed, snapping her out of her thoughts. She glanced at the screen and felt her irritation flare up again.
"Ricky, can't you just give it a rest?" she huffed.
Of course, it was Rat on the line. Lisa was already on edge, but she couldn't risk ignoring Ricky's call; he might spill her secrets if he got mad enough.
Ricky wasn't any calmer: "Ms. Chloe, where's my six million? You promised it in a week, and it's been three already. Isn't it time you paid up?"
Earlier today, Ricky had been strolling down the street when someone casually mentioned that Lisa was back on the outside. He was confused at first, but then realized his cash cow had returned. Without wasting a moment, he rang Lisa up.
Lisa shot back, "Since when do I owe you money? Quit talking nonsense!"
"Ms. Chloe, you must have forgotten. You’ve been locked up for two weeks—did you leave your brains behind when you got out?"
Lisa's expression turned stormy. "How do you even know I was in there?"
"Don't worry about how I know. Just make sure I get that six million today, or I'll spill your secrets to ChloeChloe."
Hearing Chloe's name felt like a punch to the gut for Lisa. Chloe couldn't find out.
