Chapter 1044
Alicia had been friends with Suella for a long time. She knew the kind of woman Suella was. Suella had been trying to use Alicia to marry a rich guy, yet she wanted nothing but the best. She didn't like the rich guys who liked her, but the ones she had her eyes on spared her no affection. Yet, she still tried to seduce them like a fool. Even though those men's wives knew what Suella was doing, they never attacked her due to her friendship with Alicia. Though, they would talk behind Alicia's back.
This wasn't the first time Suella did it. However, Alicia kept trying to cover for her because they were college friends, and thanks to that, Suella managed to stay in the circle of the wealthy. This time, she tried to cover for Suella as usual. "Sorry, Miss Whitney. She just wants to marry the best, but she means no harm. I'll tell her that."
"You know Miss Taggert better than I do. I trust you just like how you trust her," Ariel mocked.
Alicia looked away nervously. This isn't the first time she's done this. I can't tell Ariel that she's actually a good person.
Ariel thought she had pushed far enough, so she said solemnly, "Miss Heidelberg, you're a good friend. Danny and I are willing to be your friend, which brings me to a serious topic. Keeping a scheming person around is a hazard. They might explode in your face one day, and you might end up dying."
Alicia had wanted to cut ties with Suella a long time ago, but every time Suella came up to her, Alicia would relent and drop the idea. Now that Ariel was already telling her to break off ties with Suella, she would do just that. She figured she would do it after they went back. "Thank you, Miss Whitney. I'll take your suggestion into account. Sorry to trouble you."
"No worries. Thanks for saving Danny. See you. Have fun tonight."
"See you." Alicia sent Ariel off and closed the door. Alicia stared at the bottles of water in her hands.
A while later, Suella came out of the bathroom draped in a piece of towel. She dried her hair and looked at Alicia standing at the room entrance. "Who was it just now?"
"No one. You were hearing things," replied Alicia.
"No one. You were hearing things," replied Alicia.
"I see." Suella shrugged it off. She looked at the bottles of water Alicia was holding and froze. Hey, that's the water Ariel had. Alicia has them as well? How come I don't know? "I'm parched. Give me a bottle." She snatched a bottle and took a gulp, demolishing half a bottle in one go. Then, she scoffed. "It's nothing special."
After saying that, she smiled smugly. And Ariel said I wasn't worthy of this. Look at me now. I want the best of the best. Even the man I date must be the best.
Ugh, she has that stupid look again, Alicia thought while shaking her head. She then changed the topic and said, "Get changed. We need to start our hike soon and get a good spot, or we're going to miss the meteor shower."
