Chapter 50 After the breakup

• Lilly.
• The break up with Jake really messed me up. I had placed so much hope in the relationship so I was shattered when it suddenly ended. I had not realised just how much I had grown to love him. I was so used to having him around that life seemed very bleak without him. I could barely sleep that night. By morning, I was feeling better but not good enough. I called in sick at work but the assistant editor threatened to take me off the undercover investigation team.
• I was, therefore, forced to get up and go to work. I later realised that it was better that way. Distracting myself with work was better than dealing with all the pain while locked in a room. I wore a disguise and went to look for a job at the construction site. The manager claimed there were no empty positions available. They were probably careful because they knew they were being investigated.
