Coolest Girl in Town

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."
