Tangled Temptations

Chapter 59

Eloise was still reading those nasty comments, looking all drained.

It broke Veronica's heart to see her like this.

She softly caressed Eloise's hand, whispering, "I'm working on getting those comments deleted."

"Thank you, Veronica."

But they both knew the power of gossip. It seemed pretty much impossible for Eloise to turn things around now...

Eloise gently stirred her coffee, choking back tears, "Veronica, those kids are my blood, sweat, and tears of many years."

Four years of dedication, not only ruined her career, but even her reputation was tarnished.

Eloise really wanted to have a drink, to unwind... If she got drunk, she wouldn't have to think about all this.

"You've come to the right person!" Veronica may not be good at other things, but when it comes to chilling out and drinking, she's an expert.

She took Eloise to a 24-hour underground bar.

Blink, even the name sounded sketchy.

As expected, the moment they stepped in, there was ear-piercing rock music. Young men and women were dressed in skimpy outfits, letting their hormones run wild. The mix of sweat and perfume was intoxicating, assaulting everyone's

senses.
