Chapter 58: Rage
Meanwhile...
Silence filled the car as neither Fil nor Vincent talked. Elise, who was in the backseat, pursed her lips. Elise darted her eyes between the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat.
’Did they fight?’she wondered, unaware of what happened back in the bar station. She was too busy chatting with Shanaiah before Fil approached her. Although Fil told her she could stay longer if she wanted to, Elise didn’t want to stay without Fil at the party.
"That’s the place." Fil’s voice slashed through the thick air in the car, pointing at the residential house on the next block.
Vincent said nothing, driving slowly, and pulling over in front of the gated small two-story house. When the car stopped, Fil looked back at Elise with a smile.
"Did you have fun tonight?" asked Fil, and earned a big nod from Elise.
"Mhm! Thank you for taking me to the party!" Elise grinned. "Thank you for driving me home, Mr. Hale."
Vincent just nodded in response, making Elise shift her attention back to Fil.
"Take care on your way," she remarked and mouthed her next words, ’Good luck!’
With that being said, Elise hurriedly hitched outside. When she closed the door, she waved them goodbye and watched the car slowly move away. The smile on her face slowly disappeared, staring at the lights on the car’s rear.
"Tonight was fun," she muttered. "And also disappointing. Did she take me to the party so I see what’s behind the glitz and glamour and what kind of elites those people are? No wonder Kenzo isn’t friends with them even though they went to the same university."
