Evil Intent
one point I was thinking...oh Diamonds! That’s wonderful!”
    “Diamonds? Was there a theft too?” Bob asked.
    “Oh no Bob. I’m sorry, Richard just played diamonds and I got a little too excited.” I meant to say jealous wife number 4 did it, until she told us she only wears purple or pink underwear. It couldn’t have been her since the panties under the sofa were green.”
    “There were other suspects, I presume,” said Carl.
    “Of course,” said Harriet, “the husband’s business partner had a huge insurance policy, the step daughter feared he would divorce her mom, and the maid was having an affair with the husband!”
    “Where was the butler?” Bob asked.
    “I think he was having an affair with the step daughter.” Maggie said.
    “Who was having sex with Beaumont?” Harriet asked.
    “I think the step-daughter,” said Samantha.
    “But, the step daughter did it, so she couldn’t have been with the butler!” Lauren said trying to chime in as she got up to get another cocktail. “Do you need another drink Richard?” She said walking toward him noticing his glass was empty.
    Don’t even go there bitch. He’s mine. I’ll take care of him.
    Kathryn couldn’t help but notice how many times Lauren was drooling over gorgeous Richard.
    “Can somebody just tell me who was having sex with Beaumont?” He seems to always be missing,” Harriet said as she shouted over to Lauren “I’ll take another scotch on the rocks, please.”
    “Well, all I can say is there was a lot of sex going in, but in the end it was the step-daughter because she was convinced the husband was going to divorce her mom and they would both be thrown out without a dime.” Maggie explained.
    “That really sounds like a good play,” said Bob
    “Anything with lots of sex sounds good to you! Who you trying to kid?” Samantha added.
    Kathryn had excused herself to go to the bathroom again, just before Lauren came back with the drinks. On her return to the table, Kathryn spotted Lauren bending over, setting down Richard’s drink. Conveniently, Lauren was positioned just right with her plunging neck line and incredibly hot body desperately trying to bust out of her dress.
    Kathryn, not to be outdone by Lauren, walked back toward Richard and reached up and undid another button on her blouse. She made a point of stopping at Richards chair just long enough to whisper in his ear that she was having a wonderful time, and also long enough to give him a kiss on the cheek as Lauren was looking directly at them. Richard, definitely noticed the button, too! Kathryn was pleased!
    The evening turned out to be a lot of fun for all. Kathryn and Richard actually did very well at the games, winning the initial round. The rest of the gang were all in a great mood and frequently teased Richard over finally having a girlfriend. They also made a point to congratulate Kathryn for apparently capturing the most infamous rich and sexy, single, available doctor in all of Manhattan.
    Despite how late the evening dragged on, when it was time to leave, Richard insisted on walking Kathryn home, rather than hailing a taxi. She agreed, held his arm, and the couple leisurely strolled through Central Park to the Upper West Side. Several horse drawn carriages trotted by adding to the romance of the moment. Eventually, they arrived back at her apartment on Riverside Boulevard. The doorman, recognizing Kathryn, buzzed the door open as the couple both entered, Richard holding her hand, yet being the gentleman he was, stopped at the elevator.
    “I hope you had an enjoyable evening, Kathryn. I know I did. I really would like to see you again.”
    “I’d like that too, Richard.”
    “I mean, in addition to playing cards on Wednesdays.”
    “I was hoping you’d say that.”
    You can kiss me now, gorgeous, if you want!
    “Well, then, that sounds like a plan. We’ll do it! Sorry, I got you home so late. I guess I’d better go now.”
    With that said, Richard,
