Suzy had been quietly keeping one ear tuned to the conversation behind her.
After the two women finished speaking, about half a minute passed before the woman named Hannah spoke again.
This time, her voice was completely different—soft, syrupy, and sweet, nothing like the sharp tone she had used moments earlier.
"Richard? It's me. When are you coming over? Olivia and I are already here waiting for you."
"Mm-hmm… okay, hurry up. I really want to see you."
…
When the call ended, Hannah's voice immediately returned to its normal tone.
She looked smugly at the woman across from her. "Richard's coming in a bit."
"See? That's why you're the best, Hannah," Olivia said with a grin. "I told you—once you act cute, Richard can't resist."
"Alright, enough about that. Let's order."
Hannah picked up the menu, only to discover that Olivia had already ordered a huge pile of dishes.
She frowned. "Olivia, didn't you order too much? There's no way we can finish all this."
