Chapter 24 Bitter Like Black Coffee

• Susan held her phone tightly the whole morning, waiting for Eric to call. She tried calling him a few times, but his phone was turned off, and the message hit her like a truck. When it was nearly 2.30PM, she put on some makeup, dressed up, and left. She had accepted the fact that the escort had run away. Money and clothes wasted. She was a little down. She couldn't help cursing at herself. I shouldn't have relied on him. Reality always hits hard. How many times does this have to happen before I am going to learn my lesson?
• She came to the tea shop, but only Rachel was around. Andrew wasn't there. "You're late. Where's your boyfriend?" Rachel smiled at her.
• "Overtime." Susan held back her urge to tear this b*tch apart.
