Novel & Cerita Emily Nelson A Simple Favor

Translation: I looked pretty, but fat. The fundraiser pics. I looked hot. I felt hot. But of course, the first thing she zeroes in on is the nonexistent bloat in the photo. I resist the urge to throw my phone across the room and instead fork another bite of spinach into my mouth like a responsible adult who doesn’t crave violence. At least the dressing is good. Emily, it turns out, is less of an agent and more of a glorified babysitter. A babysitter with manicured claws and a talent for passive-aggressive comments.

Without her, I probably would have starved to death in a deserted corner long ago. I had to repay Emily's kindness. "Okay," I said in a clear and firm voice, nodding. "Once the deal is over in three days, I will no longer have anything to do with the York family." "You're such a good person," Emily said gratefully while patting my shoulders, looking as if a huge weight had fallen off her shoulders. "Go on then. Just think of these last three days as one last favor for an old woman."
