Janet bought her phone with the money that she was pay to serve in the Party, Tayna also got hers as the money was deposit to her account directly after the party or else Tayna wouldn't get because she hurt the client of the manager who she was asked to serve that night.

" But Janet, you know a cannot stay for long" Tayna use her sweetiest voice so that Janet to help out.

' why can she leave me alone?... for god sake i have been indifferent and avoid her but she doesn't get the message, it is her fault that i was rejected and she still play innocent infront of me?' thought Janet as she remember.
