-Chapter Twelve-
"I don't know what to do Riana."
For the first time ever, I visited Riana in her house this morning. And I must say, Warren has impeccable taste in real estate. The house decor is just perfect!
"You should probably thank him or something..."
No fucking way! How the fuck can she tell me to call up Ramon and tell him how grateful I am for what he did for me! I mean, I'm thankful that one of my books is almost about to get published by the best publishers. But there is no way I would call him! Let alone to tell him thankyou! No way!
I spent the entire night thinking about what to do after Janet gave me the amazing offer. I'm torn in between thanking Ramon or just pretending like he didn't do me that HUGE favor.
I mean, thanking him would kinda make it look like we are all cool and shit (WHICH WE ARE NOT). And I don't want that.

What's up?"The truth is, I just did see a ghost.I fake a smile."No. It's nothing. It's just... How you screamed my name... It got to me."Karla grins so broadly as a built man joins us. He is very good looking, I must say.He stretches his hand to me. "Marcelo.""Camilla."We shake hands briefly then Karla says, "You didn't tell me you are in Kingswood. Oh wait...
