“I’m sorry,” said the receptionist, “but Mr. Bailey’s wife, maybe you’ve heard of her? Bettina Bailey? Anyway, she’s head of the Black Tie Bunco committee and she’s hard at work doing last-minute prep work for the festivities tomorrow. You have heard of Black Tie Bunco, right? The whole town’s talking about it.”

Last minute prep work, my ass. “Yes,” said Georgia, gritting her teeth, “I’ve heard of Black Tie Bunco.”

“So with Mrs. Bailey off working on the event, Mr. Bailey had to stay home and watch his twins. He’s a great father,” she added, smiling broadly.

Did Bruce really think Bettina was in charge of the party? Or did he just go around telling people that? Either way, it was sort of pathetic.

“Do you think he’ll be in later then?”

“Oh, no. He’s taking the rest of the day off. Black Tie Bunco is a lot of work.”

Yeah, and so is shopping. “Do you have a number where I can reach him? It’s important.”

“Sorry, I can’t give that out. But he’ll back Tuesday morning,” she said cheerfully.

Georgia could feel her blood pressure rise. “All right, well, thank you.”

She slammed her car door a little too forcefully. Bruce Bailey had definitely blown her off. But why? A simple yes or no would have been sufficient. Then Georgia could have put Plan B into action.

Not that she had any idea of what Plan B would be. But she’d think of something. She had to. If there was any way she could pay off the past due amount without Frida finding out, she would. Case closed. In the end, Frida might not have a choice. Because if it came down to taking money from Georgia or losing the Bistro, Frida might have to retract her whole “I can live in a tent” speech.
