Alice was enjoying a lovely lunch with Roger because she hadn't been scheduled to go into work until 2 PM. It was the third or fourth time since the day he helped her settle into her new apartment.
She had come to discover that he was exactly the kind of friend she had always wanted. It was a pity she never really talked to him during those shareholders' meetings. She could have used a friend like him sooner.
Hanging out with Roger was a great distraction from the anvil constantly hanging over her head—the divorce.
Brock kept trying to renegotiate the terms in his favor but Alice's lawyer was having none of it. He was determined to get her a fair settlement and she was grateful for that but she hated drawing things out. She wanted to be free from the Kellys forever already.
