“Emily! You’re doing well!”
“How much money did you win? Where did you get your clothes?”
He smiled and looked at my clothes and
purse.
He didn’t care about his girlfriend in the police station.
I patted my purse and said.
<
“I’m not getting a bonus. I made this myself.”
“What are you doing?” He looked at me.
I hid my face and took out my phone.
“It’s hard to explain. Add me on social media.”
I hid my smile when he clicked on it.
I went to the stores and took off my clothes.
“You only rented it for half a day?” the
manager said.
“Didn’t I tell you that it was for free?”

I put on my uniform and greeted the
customers.
This was my part–time job.
He could see my stuff on my page.
There was a fancy high tea.
There was the money that I had stolen.
After a while, he said, “What do you do?”
I waited to answer.
“I trade stocks.”
L
Г.
He said, “You trade?”
I didn’t answer him.
Two days later, I posted about the house.
“I trade stocks! Let’s keep going.”
Chris liked it.
He said, “Can you help me out?”
I pretended to be annoyed. “We are separated. They can’t know I trade.”
“I don’t care about that.”

“Help me.
“It’s hard.
I asked him how much money he had.
He asked if two thousand was enough.
“That’s just peanuts.”
“Fine. I’ll get you a few bucks.”
He thanked me and transferred the money.
I was very happy to take it.
I gave him back four thousand.

I gave mim pack TOUI LNOUSANIU.
I had faked the profits.
“I have two thousand, and there’s six back.
took a half.”
“You are the best!”
He gave it back.
“Keep making money!”
After a few weeks, he seemed crazy and put
in more money.
But then his attitude changed.
<
“You’re taking eight profits! I’m your broth
in–law!”
“Who told you that?”
“If you were doing it, you wouldn’t be here.”
He called, saying that his mom would not giv
him money.
I said that he could mortgage the house.
He was hesitant.
“I don’t need that money. Do what you want.”
“You don’t have to be a husband if you have
money.”
Chris said nothing.
After a while, he bit his teeth. “Fine. I’m
coming with you.”
I went to college that day. Chris and Ashley
came as well.
I was busy getting ready for the year, so I
asked Chris to go to the market.
He started to get arrogant.
He blamed me for taking too much.
“I know another market. They only take a
profit.”
“No wonder Ashley said that you were rude
I’m not working with you anymore.”
He blocked me.
I knew about the scammers in the area.
They would pull in people from out of town.
They would promise money.
The next day, I called Chris, and a man
answered.
Г.
He asked, “Are you a family member?”
“Oh, no, it was a telemarketer.” I hung up.
They were moving faster than I thought.
It was because they were greedy.
The family went crazy.
Ashley left a note, saying “I’m going to make money” and disappeared.
My aunt said that Mom was sad, saying that
she made Ashley go to school.
<
Otherwise, Ashley would not have left.
She said that she was unhappy.
I saw that my uncle had posted on social
media.
“Emily is my niece! She did a great job. She
wasn’t smart, and she couldn’t do math. I
helped her for a semester, and she did great!
My cousin asked, “Is he looking for kids to
teach?”
I don’t remember him teaching me.
