"What do you think you're doing, thinking that you and I… were ever friends?"
Hearing that from the person she thought was her friend was something Lola wanted to ignore. She prayed in that moment that she was just hearing things. But she was wrong.
These people had never truly seen her as a friend. Not even for one second. They kept her around because she was fun to play with. Besides, Lola had been helping them with their studies.
They flew Lola to this country not because they wanted her there, but because they had made a bet: a bet on whether she would ditch her work to party or not. After all, she was known for taking her part-time jobs seriously.
So, the money for her plane ticket, accommodation, and everything else had all been funded on a bet.
