It's been two weeks since Risha last talked to Keith. She just wasn't feeling the signing of a contract like she gave away her life. She had to focus on what was in front of her.
"Did you see our girl JT wearing one of our outfits?" Crystal said, coming into Risha's office.
"Bitch you lying?" Risha said grabbing Crytal's phone from her. She looked at it surprised. "I'm so happy for us friend" Risha said
"You need to start looking at your notifications on Instagram. She tagged you" Crystal said "but on another note. I have to spill some tea" she said sitting down in a chair.
"And that is?"
"So the dude who came in beating the fuck out of Devon. We have known each other since we were little...
"Wait what?"
"Yeah. That day was the first time I saw him in over a decade. I can't lie and say he doesn't still look good" Crystal said
Risha could tell she was still feeling him. "So are you thinking about rekindling or what's the plan? Cause the way you looking.
"Girl I don't know. He working with Keith. And if you do not feel what he has going on why should I? Shit, I don't know what he got going on either. So you never told me why you decided to ghost him"
"Ummm... It's the way he wants things. Like it's his way or no way. Then he told me he has girls sign contracts and shit. Like no. I ain't signing my life away" Risha said as Crystal cracked up.
"No, but I feel you. Dodge the bullet. But whatever he is doing is working." Crystal said getting up..
"How are you feeling?" Risha asked seeing her touch her womb.
"I have pain. Fucked up the nerve damage in my shoulder. But I'm cool. Just happy to be here" she said
"No word on Devon?"
"Keith said I ain't have to worry about him messing with me no more. So nope. But I got to get back to my office. I have stuff I need to get on fast. We can grab lunch here in some hours " Crystal said walking out.
"Now that sounds good. And I'm glad somebody scared his ass" Risha smiles seeing Crystal leave out. She receives a knock at the door.
"Hey, you got somebody out here to see you" she said closing her door back.
Risha gets up going out the door to the front. There was short lady with long hair that came down to her shoulders. She had a badge on her hip. "Are you Risha Smith?"
"May I ask why you questions me?" She said already reading her.
"I have a few questions about a guy a Devon Mitchell? Is Crystal Johnson here as well?"
"Is we under arrest or something I'm confused on what you want to ask?"
"No your not under arrest or anything. I was just stopping by every business asking question about the murder of Devon Mitchell"
"He died?" Risha asked in shocked
"Yes. Do you know him?"
"No not personally. I've seen him around alot" Risha said seeing Crystal come from the back.
"Everything good?"
"You must be Crystal?" She asked
"May I asked what your name is?" Crystal asked walking up.
"Officer Riley. So you said you didn't know him personally? When the last time you've seen him?" Officer Riley asked
"Wait. Seen who?"
"Devon Mitchell"
"What about him?" Crystal asked
"He was murder yesterday around the corner. And we need to ask questions to see if anybody seen anything." She said
"No. We haven't seen him in like 2 weeks" Crystal said
"Okay. Well let me give you lady's my card. If you hear anything don't hesitate to call" she said about to walk out than she stops looking at the clothes. "You hand made all of this?" She asked turning around
"Yes. We did" Risha said smiling.
"Well you got a new customer. I'll be seeing you ladies soon" she said walking out.
Risha turns to Crystal "Girl what the fuck?"
"That's crazy." Crystal said sitting down in the chair in front of her. She gets up thinking about who it was.
"You good?" Risha asked
"Yeah yeah. I'm good. Let's go out tonight" Crystal said
"BAR hop?"
"OR club. don't matter. But at least he dead now and I don't have to watch my fucking back" Crystal said smiling..
"Me too. Let's finish up" Risha said wrapping her arm around Crystal as they walk back to Crystal office.
