Mina tried her best to pretend she was at the hair salon not getting an awful dye job. All so she could work for an insane billionaire too.

Unfortunately, it wasn't successful. The gloating from adversaries was too loud and too triumphant.

At last," Victoria said, laughing like she was a mad scientist. "The Piece de Resistance! I have successfully converted a brunette into a blond!"

Ashley clapped, looking equally sadistic. "Bravo. You are truly an alchemist!"

"Oh my lordy," Mina said. "What's that smell? What did you do to my head?"

Victoria held a mirror over Mina's face. "Wake up and smell the peroxide darling!"

Mina kept her eyes closed for a few seconds, before slowly squinting them open. Wearing her hot pink pants suit, was not the self-proclaimed brainy brunette, but rather a girl with white blonde hair rolling all the way down her shoulders. Victoria has stained her thick eyebrows too, leaving them piss-white. It was horrifying and she worried she'd go derp-eyed and scream "like totally!"

Mina grabbed the mirror, her hand shaking as she did. What if this was all just a prank set up by Ashley and Victoria so they could delight even further in her misery?

Blind, literally, the only supportive person in the room spoke like boyfriend of the year. "I know I can't see you, love. But I bet you look gorgeous. There's always that cliche, blondes do have more fun! And you are always fun to be with."

Mina took a deep breath. "Yesh. Thank you, Willy. Well, at least my IQ is still here. I'm not exactly London Milton."

"Awww," Vicki swooned. "She's acting like she had an IQ to start with. By the way, mine's five!"

Ashley stood up, pressing her gloved palms together. She never looked more self satisfied. "And combined, you two score a 12. Now how about we get down to business."

"Yes!" a voice squawked from the doorway. "Business Park is my business. I am da mayor after all!"

Everyone faced the doorway. Somehow Mina had left the front door to Bird Brain's open and an old friend had gotten in. Or rather, a new friend in an old friend's body.

Ivor Ebony leaned on the door in his black and white tux, rivaling Blind for the most dapper man in the room. His bushy perm filled the doorway too. "Nice place ya got here, Blondie! The interior decorator has superb taste. Whoever they are."

He offered a sly wink, which made Mina want to scream, "It's you, bird brain! Want me to conk you on the head so you remember?"

But she remained silent. She needed to hear Ivor talk as much as possible so she could figure out what was wrong with her mentor.

He swaggered over from the doorway. "Now listen up, chickies and that very cute vision impaired man over there. We are about to plan a massive operation here. I call it Operation: Little Man!"

He earned a few curious glances from the girls. It was an unusual name, but for Raven, nothing was usual.

"Why?" he squawked."Because Electra constantly cuts out the little man with her billionaire company. She only hires people over five foot six!"

"Excuse me," Blind muttered. "Is that a joke or is this something she legitimately did?"

Mina grabbed his hand in hers. "With Raven, it's always both!"

Ivor shook his head. "Wrong. With me, it's everything, everywhere all at once! And that's how we're gonna strike Electra. From the top down and the bottom."

He crossed his arms and spoke with one eye open. "I am currently hiring hundreds of skilled lawyers and lawyeresses to combat her legal army. We will face her injustices in court AND this newly minted blondie here will uncover the dirt needed to shoot Miss Bossy Billionaire's Business straight out of the sky."

Mina gulped. And then double gulped.

She now knew Business Park's fate depended entirely on her stint as an Electra Company employee. And she'd have to labor under a completely merciless (and murderous) boss.

Before she began, she had a strong urge to rent the classic chickflix movie, The Demon Wears Fashion Items. She was about to star in the leading role
