Chapter 79 A Frenemy

• Much to my surprise, everyone busied themselves with dinner and no one created trouble for me that evening. They chatted among themselves as if I was not even present—or to be precise—as if Augustus and I were not even there, not that I had anything to complain about that. As such, I ate quietly, hoping troubles would stay away as far as possible.
• Right after everyone was done with the meal, Olivia shot me an overly enthusiastic gaze as she put down her cutlery. “Erica, why don't we go shopping together? There are a few outfits that I'd set my eyes on. Come and choose with me, won't you?”
• A rigid smile hung on my lips at her request. I knew she was up to no good.
