It’s only when she speaks to me while taking off the diamond necklace that attention to her.
“Honestly, just putting this on makes me feel like I’m worth 200 million dollars! Girl, you’re so lucky to have a husband like Dominic. He’s such a gentleman. Did you know that he was getting this for you? I mean you had to have known. That’s his sister’s collection after all.”

“By the way, how’s Patrick?”
“I guess he’s okay. His interview’s scheduled for tomorrow at the company where my father recommended him”

“I really hope your ex doesnt tu
“I hope so, too, because my dad will never help him again. The job doesn’t pay much, but it’s three times more than his current job. He’s willing to start from there”
“I bet he feels so embarrassed after the way he treated you, and now you’re the one helping him get back on his feet.”
“You know I never hold grudges.” I firmly shake my head. “I just feel bad for him and what happened with his evil ex wife.”
