Chapter 1

“Desiree, don't you think you've had enough?”Desiree paused from applying lipstick and faced her best friend from the driver's seat.“This would be your third day and tenth company…” Sophia, her best friend, added with a heavy sigh.“It's your fault that we got caught, so I need a job to feed myself,” she retorted, her tone laced with blame.“And who came up with the idea to ruin her father and stepmother's engagement party?” Sophia shot back, clearly irritated. “I already warned you, but yet, you still continue with your plan.”Desiree was caught off guard by her best friend's words. Growing up as her mother's only and spoiled child, she was used to getting everything she wanted.
