Chapter Fifteen — Gold Digger

Emerald

It's my first day as a married woman, and I woke up feeling like absolute crap!

I could barely sleep a wink last night because I couldn't stop thinking about who Marlene was and why she had such a confident look on her face when she spoke to me briefly.

I knew it wasn't any of my business since Brian and I don't have a relationship, but it still bothered me regardless. I was unable to sleep because the thought kept popping into my head, and I realized that I was a lot more upset than I would have liked to admit.

After a few minutes of trying to get my thoughts together, I finally got her the strength to climb out of my bed and the first thing I did was to head to the bathroom, brush my teeth and take a shower. After that, I contemplated what to wear for the day, wondering if it would be weird if I went out dressed in sweatpants and a tank top.
