"What? Do you know them?" Elena asked.
"I came to see you today specifically to rant about the most ridiculous thing that happened at work, and ironically, the main characters are right here. What a small world."
Theresa recounted the entire saga, explaining how Lorna was actually the butler's daughter. She couldn't stop laughing as she told the story.
Elena remained perfectly calm.
"Isn't it hilarious? She's parading around in my hand-me-downs, trying to show off, and demanding I pay for tearing them."
Elena chuckled and shook her head.
Seeing the two women happily chatting away, Dylan took the opportunity to excuse himself, mentioning that George Miller needed him for some urgent business.
"Finally, he's gone. Once we finish eating, let's hit the mall!" Theresa said cheerfully.
It had been ages since she and Elena had gone shopping together.
"By the way," Elena mentioned, "the police caught that couple who tried to kidnap you. They're serial offenders. You weren't the first, and several other girls fell for the same trap. Unfortunately, they weren't as lucky as you."
One of the victims had been lured to the house by Brenda posing as a pregnant woman. Because the victim was on her period, Hank couldn't assault her.
Enraged, he strangled her to death, dismembered the body, and hid the remains in the freezer.
That was the gruesome discovery Elena had made when she checked the appliance.
"That's absolutely sickening! Psychos like that deserve the death penalty!" Theresa said, her eyes flashing with anger.
"They're definitely getting lethal injection, so consider yourself avenged."
"Good. That's a massive relief. But since we're in a good mood today, let's drop the heavy stuff and go look at some clothes!" Theresa suggested.
"Sounds good."
The mall they were in had the dining options on the upper floor, with luxury boutiques occupying the levels below.
Theresa pulled Elena into a high-end designer bag boutique.
