Chapter 132: Choosing Between Two Poisons
The primary character in Lariette’s previous thoughts earlier—Stephanie—was currently in her apartment. Her blue eyes kept darting to the wall clock, a sense of unease took over her mind.
Why?
Because she had to face him today. He would arrive soon.
’Urgh... I don’t want to meet him, but... I have to! Damn it!’
Stephanie fidgeted as she circled the living room of her apartment. Crossing her arms over her chest, she bit her nails out of her frustration.
What happened the last weekend still left Stephanie in deep humiliation. Following her return from Azure Bay, she had been locking herself in her apartment. She also refused to go back to Eldoria Heights.
"Phanie, are you sure you want to stay in your apartment?"
"I’m sorry, Mom. I need some time alone. Please don’t worry about me."
When a worried Samantha asked her again and again, Stephanie insisted with her plan. She said she needed some solitude.
Unable to face people’s judging eyes and whispers, Stephanie hadn’t shown her face even once in her usual favorite places to hang out. She also didn’t update her social media accounts since that day.
Amber, Fridah and the others within Stephanie’s clique did text and call her but, she ignored everyone. They sounded worried about her well-being but, she believed they actually partied over her misfortune.
