Spying (part one)

Harper and I decided to check if Brittany is in her room. It's Saturday. She usually works from home on weekends.

We flung the door open without knocking, getting Brittany startled. She was in the process of putting a T-shirt on.

"Sorry, we thought you were out. We are here to rob your closet., Addy said you got a new clothes collection" Harper said with a mischievous grin. She cranes her neck to feign she is looking at Brittany's closet.

Of course, Brittany had to replace all her clothes. I ruin them during my berserk dark episode.

Brittany ignored us and threw on the T-shirt, and a sheer look of irritation darkens her face.

I glanced at her outfit. She is wearing jeans with sneakers with the T-shirt, and she has a sunglass on for disguise I suppose.

I gape at her. I have never seen her in jeans and a T-shirt. "You look different," I said from where I stood. I was leaning on the wall with my legs crossed.

"I am meeting up with a client who is facing two murder charges. I have to look welcoming not intimidating so she can trust me and tell me her side of the story" She tells me without blinking an eye.

"Liar" I mummed to myself

Harper cock her eyebrow. She failed to hide her amusement.

A smirk danced on my lips.

One trait we have in my family is lying. We are good liars. That is why my parents and Brittany are good at their job.

"Okay, go do your lawyer stuff and Harper and I will have fun with your closet," I said with a chirp of fake excitement.

"Don't forget your appointment with. Dr. Johnson is tomorrow" She reminded me of my first session with her shrink

I groan.

"You promise me, Adeline. Don't think of escaping this" She warns.

"Yeah, yeah" I rolled my eyes childishly.

She gave herself a quick glance in the mirror

She still looks stunning even in this plain outfit.

"Don't steal too much" She sent her warning look at Harper.

"Yes ma'am" Harper gave her a salute with a wide grin.

Brittany chuckled.

She heads for the door.

"Are you not taking your car keys?" I asked her, staring at her empty hands as she passed by me.

She paused giving me her full attention. "My client lives in a shady neighborhood. I am afraid my car might get stolen. I will order an Uber" She says calmly.

Gosh, she is good at lying. I bet she can pass a lie detector test.

"That means your client is poor. How can she afford your services?" I asked just to get under her skin.

She balled up her fist but quickly release it. "Her parents are paying for my service. She is a runaway who got herself into trouble." She says cooling.

"Okay"

"Are you leaving your engagement ring?" Harper threw another question at her to fuel her irritation.

"She is going to a shady neighborhood. It will be a dumb move if she goes along with her diamond ring." I answered for her.

But I know that's not the reason. Cheaters don't wear their engagement rings or wedding ring to the crime scene.

Harper wasn't done. She is bent on infuriating Brittany till she snaps.

"It's funny I have never seen you with your engagement ring on," Harper said.

I have been wondering about that too.

I gave my sister a query look.

Brittany rubbed her forehead in clear frustration. We are delaying her time.

"William propose to me a week before we had dinner with him and his grandfather. We both agreed to announce our engagement on the day of the dinner." She explained to us.

I don't believe her. Her eyes keep glinting as she talks. She is bad at lying when it comes to William.

"You did a good job in keeping him a secret for a whole year." I was aiming to sound cool but bitterness wormed its way into my tone as I utter those words.

"Jeez, You need to chill, Addy," Harper said chiming in.

"If you are dating a handsome dude like William, you will definitely keep hiding him away from hungry bitches like me that will try to steal him away from you. Girl, I will also hide my man until he put that ring on my finger securing my claim before I introduce him to even my sister. Adeline is such a whore like me. She wouldn't mind stealing him from you." Harper teases in a jest and cock her head in my direction. She grins playfully to lighten up the weight of what she just said. Which was very much true.

I am going to steal him from her.

Brittany chuckled pretending she is nonchalant with the joke Harper made, but I saw the sharp look she shot at me. I saw the fear in her eyes.

She should be afraid because I am coming for her man.

Maybe tomorrow she might end up single.

"I will see you guys later. I am running late" She kissed me on my cheek.

"Bye," she waved at Harper.

She hastens her steps to stride out quickly.

"Did you see the guilty look on her face? That's what a bitch face looks like when she is going to do something very bad." Harper chimed in when Brittany close the door behind her.

"We need to get there before her so she doesn't see us walk in," I said bristly.

"Alright let's go do some spying bitch" Harper scream.
