Chapter 8. Dangerous Pretension

Emery’s POV

I glared at him as I pressed my lips together. He laughed hard and pointed at my face. “Look at that! Don’t glare at me like you want to eat me. We’ll make a huge scene here if you do. I moan loudly.”

I grabbed my hair in frustration. “Oh God! I hate drugs!”

“Same here, baby.”

Argh!

He smirked as he continued eating his dear veggies. Someday I will cut him into pieces like his damn veggies.

Georgina put her glass on the table after drinking her shot and looked at me. “So, tell me what really happened. How did you end up marrying the great Terrence Gray.”

I shook my head. “You sound like you’re worshiping him.”

She lifted her arms. “Girl! That’s Terrence Gray, the hottest bachelor. Just tell me. Come on…”

I took a deep breath and drank my shot before I looked at her again. Georgina’s lips parted as she covered her mouth. “Oh no! Don’t tell me this was your pretentious stepmom’s doing again.”<
