Chapter Eighteen — Shocking Surprise

Emerald

I was bored out of my mind and I could no longer take being in my room. In the last twenty hours, I haven't stepped out of my room. I was trying to avoid running into Brian because I couldn't stand to see his face.

I was also avoiding going outside my room because I was feeling embarrassed by the idea of not knowing anything about what was happening around me. I was also embarrassed about having the servant gossip about me and talk about how much they pity me.

I told myself several times not to let whatever they said bother me, but it's easier said than done and I haven't been able to let go of the things I heard.

Since I don't exactly have a job or anything else that I'm doing, I've spent the last twenty-four hours binge-watching several dramas, to the point where my eyes felt like they were going to bleed in no time.
