Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Jack Was the One Who Framed Me

The silence that ensued felt very long.

Time seemed to pass in a blur before Winona finally came back to her senses. Still, she put on an unperturbed expression as though nothing had happened while she calmly sent Elise back home.

The two women who knew each other well didn’t say a word throughout the journey.

However, Elise couldn’t hold herself back any longer after she got out of the car. Walking to the car window, she said softly to Winona, “Be careful on your way back. You can call me anytime if there is something.”

It was probably because of what Mica had to go through that Elise didn’t dare intervene directly.

“I’m alright,” Winona said with a bitter smile. She swiftly changed the topic by adding, “I might have to take a leave for tomorrow, though.”

“It’s fine. I’ll be heading to Salt Stone City anyway. You can take a rest for as long as you need to, and you will still be paid your salary,” Elise stated with a chuckle.

“Thank you, Elise.”

Winona knew that this was Elise’s way of consoling her after what she had also seen.

Still, she felt too weak to continue forcing a smile.

After an unnatural smile appeared on her pursed lips, she made a U-turn and drove off.

Elise only stood there by the roadside, an uneasy feeling in her chest as she watched the headlights of the car slowly being engulfed by the dark of the night.
