Tangled Temptations

Chapter 33

Chapter 32

Eloise lost her job, but she didn't want Michelle to stress, so she kept it on the down-low.

She sat on a park bench, spacing out in silence. Despite the sunshine, Eloise felt a chill. She did some quick mental math about her finances. Bowen & Partners were about to hit her with a whopper of a bill, and she had to chip in some money for her dad. What was left in the pot was not much.

Eloise gently removed a thin chain from around her neck. There was a pale pink diamond hanging on it. She stroked it for a while before deciding to hit up a pawnshop.

She got a check for 20 grand, combined with what she had, and settled the score with Bowen & Partners.
