Chapter 61
The woman yelled out curses as the car receded into the distance. Stella looked away. She was about to leave when she heard the woman shouting at her.
“Hey! What’s your name?”
Stella paused her steps. She turned around and looked at the woman but said nothing.
“Why are you all alone in such a place?” the woman continued, not minding that Stella didn’t answer her question. “Hmph! I bet you got dumped by a scumbag just like me, didn’t you?”
Stella raised her brows. The woman wasn’t wrong… She shrugged wearily.
“Do you want to walk home together?” Stella asked.
“No,” the woman shook her head. “It’s your lucky day. I just called someone to pick me up. You can come along with us.”
Stella gave it a good thought before she finally agreed.
“Thank you,” she said earnestly.
“Oh, don’t worry about it. We’re in the same boat, after all! Dry your eyes, sister. Let’s never get involved with scumbags, ever again!”
“Yes,” Stella laughed. “I agree!”
Meanwhile, in the car on the road ahead, the so-called scumbag Xavier Ford glanced at the angry woman through the rearview mirror and tugged at his collar nonchalantly. Sounds of rapid wind filled his ears. He picked up his phone and called a number.
“This is the first time you ever asked for my help, and it’s all for a woman,” he said. “Aren’t you worried that Guinevere would blow up if she finds out?”
