Chapter 16 Why did you reject the money

• Rosie stands at the bedroom door with her hands placed against her waist, she is very upset with her friend for the decision she had taken. This was a lifetime opportunity that she just let slip away.
• Arianna was sitting on the bed with her head bowed; she did not want to look Rosie in the eye because she knew that her best friend was mad at her. Nevertheless, she had no regrets whatsoever for what she had done; she believed she had made the right decision.
• Yes, the money would have changed her life, but she believed that by accepting that money, she would have sold what was left of her self-respect and dignity. She would be no different from the other women that Oliver had spoken of.
