Keeping Enemies Closer

Anita wasn't really pleased about making the call to Lucy, especially considering how Lucy had acted like a little bitch during the meeting, but she had long decided to set aside her pride in her bid to get the CEO. He clearly wanted a docile woman he could control, and she was going to be one for him. All that she was doing, was stooping to conquer. 

"Hey, dearie! Can you talk right now?" Anita asked in a cheerful voice the moment the call connected.

"You mean like you talked to me during the meeting just now?" Lucy asked dryly as she placed the call on speaker for Tom to hear what Anita was going to say. 

Since Anita was trying to pretend that they were cool, she was also going to act like the ignorant and naive one among them. Acting like she was setting all her cards on the table was the best way to deal with an over confident person like Anita.
