Mystery solved. From all indications, Obnoxious Braggart was merely a pawn in an elaborate chess game that pits warring big shots.
OB teamed up with Haughty Ally, to sabotage the efforts of Charming Star. Although CS had already patched things up with HA, it seemed OB couldn’t move on.
Or is OB merely following direct orders from HA’s Vociferous Cohort? Looks as if VC has a huge ax to grind against CS’ Fiery Partner.
In the meantime, poor CS and HA are caught in the crossfire. CS and HA should just join forces against OB, to stop the senseless mudslinging. Pronto!
Something fishy
Seems there’s something fishy about the extra closeness of Curvaceous Maiden and Feisty Associate.
To think, CM’s Scandalous Benefactor was once adamant about such dangerous liaisons? They once claimed that they would never engage in monkey business. Never say never again.
Perhaps CM is just brimming with gratitude? FA came to their rescue and stood by them, when the crap hit the fan.
Bitter pill
The past has finally caught up with Assertive Insider. All that wheeling and dealing led AI nowhere.
A few years back, AI connived with like-minded partners to undermine rivals. With dispatch, Karma Martin came knocking on AI’s door.
AI got a dose of cohorts’ bitter medicine. After AI’s latest debilitating failure, so-called friends suddenly vanished without a trace.
Saved by the bell
Raucous Insider was saved from certain doom. RI actually considered teaming up with Notorious Gangmate.
Well, NG once had a promising future. But dark clouds soon hovered over NG who was accused of all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors by Close Pals.
In a way, RI was spared from the troubles that CPs had suffered. Lady Luck was on RI’s side.
Friendly persuasion
From the Inquirer tabloid Bandera:
Those in the know insist that Macho Stud and Affable Mogul need not confirm nor deny their “special” friendship.
AM and MS are often spotted hanging out in public. They claim they are just cooking up all sorts of projects together.
OK, fine, whatever … But the “partnership” has set alarm bells ringing. Pals have cautioned AM that MS is notorious for leaving a trail of broken hearts. File under U: For User-friendly.
