Teetering in the line between being half awake and half asleep, I approached the door, and without hesitating, I opened the door. Thankfully it was Tessy and not the loan shark.
“You must have really loved the outfit to sleep in.” Her eyes zeroed in on me. Tessy gasped. “Is that a real diamond?” Her hands darted to the necklace still on my neck.
“Yes.” I gestured for her to come in. “Yesterday was tiring. I ended up crashing on the sofa.”
Tessy smiled and settled on the sofa. “I came to check up on you. And also to tell you, I found a job, but the pay is quite small.”
My chest tightened as a pang of regret gripped my heart. “Never mind, I have already sold my soul to the devil.”
Curiosity arched her brows. “What do you mean?”
Slipping out of the gown into my bra and pants, I settled on the sofa. From the accident to the dinner and useless contract—I explained it all.
