Chapter 145

Quintessa was roused from her slumber by the gnawing pangs of hunger. She squinted at the clock; it was already nudging 1 PM.

She grabbed her phone and noticed two missed calls, both from Violet.

She quickly dialed her back.

The call got connected almost immediately, and Quintessa yawned, “Hey Violet, what’s up? Just woke up.”

Violet’s voice was tinged with excitement, “For the love of God, Quintessa, with the whole Roxanne scandal blowing up, how can you still be sleeping?”

Quintessa raked her fingers through her hair, “The bigger the mess is, the better I sleep. If things were quiet, then I’d be worried.”
