Chapter 79
Ariana cleared her throat awkwardly.
“We live under the same roof.
We should at least know what the other person is up to.
”
With her arms folded, Sonia narrowed her eyes and watched Ariana carefully.
Then she spotted something on Ariana’s neck.
She reached out to touch and rub it, to find a thick layer of concealer.
