But unlike Victor and Judy, Mia doesn’t see them there, despite the fact that she has suspected that the Rolls-Royce might be Victor’s car.
“Judy! Is there something that I don't know, but I need to know?” asks Victor.
“About them? I don’t know either. Actually, Mia and I are not living together anymore. She moved out recently.”
“Did something happen?”
“About that…”
Judy finds it hard to explain to Victor. There’s no way she is going to just tell all the bad things that Mia said about him. And so, she just tries to come up with a lie to cover that story.
“You see, I’ve been jobless for some time, and…”
“Damn! She leaves you just because you have been jobless for only two weeks?”
