As they were turning to leave, a shrill voice called out, “That wouldn’t be the infamous Conor Brantley, would it? Does that bastard think he can show his face here after failing so publicly with that Celia’s Herbals? And what is he doing in a suit like that! After his losses, he is likely stealing it!”
Conor turned to see a girl with too much makeup and dressed head to toe in pink from her glasses to her shoes. She was hanging on the arm of none other than Nyman Banks.
“Hello, Nyman. I see you have a new girlfriend.” Conor said, his tone clearly ready to leave.
“Conor, I hope you are treating Jessica well. And yes, this is Natalia Silverton. So, tell us Conor, are you stealing that suit, or have your prospects finally turned?”
Peter tried to be helpful by interjecting, “Umm, well, Conor is working with me for a photo shot.”
