Ch 297: Conflicting schedules

Rika felt disappointed when her first appointment was canceled but was not too bumped about it. However, her second appointment center took little time to call her about the cancellation.

When her third one was called, Rika's unease grew into a firm belief that someone was targeting her.

When Rika asked why this double booking had happened, the man on the other side sounded scared and a bit winded. 

This was not a coincidence but a deliberate attack by someone who was a regular at these places.

Rika felt that Suzie somehow managed to get in Rika's way. But how she managed it and even knew what Rika would do was beyond reasoning. After all, it was not like Suzie had called every high-class saloon and asked for an appointment, right?

"Don't be crazy, Rika. Suzie might be crazy, but even she is not crazy enough to book too many places. She cannot afford all that negative press right now."

And Rika was right!
