After a failed attempt to get her earrings back, she dragged herself back home.
Lucas didn't return home that night and Evelyn felt half relieved that she didn't bump into him.
She went to bed, worried as she thought of ways to get her earrings from Mark. All his offers were too ridiculous. She couldn't forsake her well paying job to work a month free for him or even raise two million dollars!
She was in a dilemma the whole night and could barely get any sleep.
The next day, her eyes were puffy and she had dark circles and bags under her eyes. She stared back at her reflection, digging around for her make-up kit to blend her face.
The brightened look she wore to work didn't last very long and soon, she was dropping her shoulders in devastation before she even knew it.
Her work was slow and there were typos in her documents. She apologised many times and after the fourth mistake, her colleagues were frustrated. Having to move one single document back and forth was making them worried.
