Chapter 4 Sadie Wilde POV Waking up this morning with one of the hangovers in the world, was not part of the plan. Waking up with my head feeling like it was about to explode made me want to murder my ex best friend. Her idea to make cocktails at three this morning on a day we’re supposed to be working was so much worse. I get up from my bed and take a five minute shower and get ready for work.
