Meanwhile, Valerie, after dropping a bomb on Mr. Smith, was on her way to see Ms. Trisha. Her earlier conversation with the ambassador still lingered in her mind, but she swiftly pushed it aside, focusing on another prey.
Yesterday evening, she'd called Ms. Trisha, pouring out her heart in a calculated display of vulnerability. Valerie had claimed that she'd finally seen Greg for who he truly was - a man she could no longer tolerate. Her words had been laced with desperation and despair, carefully crafted to elicit sympathy from Ms. Trisha.
As she recalled her conversation, Valerie couldn't help but smile. She'd described Greg as a misogynist, a narcissist, and a control freak, painting a vivid picture of a troubled marriage. Ms. Trisha's empathetic ear had calmly accepted Valerie's tale, and now, Valerie was on her way to the restaurant Ms. Trisha had booked for their meeting.
