Coolest Girl in Town

"Are you sure you think of me as a friend? Didn't it occur to you to look for me when I didn't answer your calls? You're always like this. You never ask about anything or show your concern at all. You don't care about me."

"We're talking about what happened last night, so why are you bringing these things up? Anyway, who said I don't care about you? If I didn't—"

"I was sexually assaulted!" Suella cut Alicia off with a shriek. It was so sudden that Alicia froze in shock.

True enough, something happened.

"Who did it?" Alicia knew she had to stay calm to address the situation.

She recalled what happened to her at the bar back then and couldn't help but imagine what it must have been like for her friend last night.

In her case, just getting sexually harassed alone had been enough to traumatize her, but in Suella's case, she had been assaulted.

Alicia patted Suella on the shoulder. "It's fine. We'll make a police report. I'll be with you the whole time."

Suella's right. If I went to look for her when she didn't show up last night, maybe everything could've been avoided. Alicia began to feel guilty.

Suella's heart leaped with joy. Alicia hasn't changed at all. She's just as easily fooled as ever.

During their schooling days, Suella told Alicia that her family went bankrupt overnight and her parents were terminally ill, so she had to work three jobs to survive. The very next day, 100,000 had been transferred to her account by the good-hearted soul, and ever since then, Alicia was especially kind toward her. Alicia included her in everything and never let her pay for anything.

A foolish woman like her is a wealthy heiress, while I have to go around like a puppy acting pitiful and trying to please these dumb heirs and heiresses just so I can maintain a luxurious lifestyle! Why?
