Linda thought the customer sounded familiar, and it was obvious she was an Astorian. Goaded by curiosity, she went to take a look, and surprise, surprise, it was an old acquaintance. After that, Linda went back to the room and continued her session. “Who’s the screaming customer?”
“Oh, that one? She’s an Astorian like you, but she has one bad temper. The lady registered for a temporary membership, since she’s not staying here for long. She’s one troublemaker though. One of the staff members was abused last time.”

“Oh, you know her?”
“Well, she’s an old friend, but we’ve been out of touch. Why don’t you give me her number? I’ll talk to her.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. I just need her number.”
The beautician was delighted to hear that. Since they lived on commissions, having a regular like Linda around would mean securing her livelihood. “I’ll give you her number after we’re done.”

“No! I didn’t! I’m innocent, sir! I am!”
