102 Alls Well That Ends Well 2 (2/2)

Wendy laughed at her serious threat and looked at the ring again. After clearing a space on the table by pushing the plates and glasses to the side, she happily forced the two to lay out their hands on it so she could compare the rings.

”I don't know what gets into you, but I like your gift, thanks!” she laughed. ”And I guess, since we all have this, it can be said to be something unique to us, like some sort of token. But Sofy, why are these so plain? There's no pattern at all! Hey, don't tell me you don't know what designs we will like so you just chose the plainest?”

”I thought you like it? Why are you so nitpicky! Just wear it and cherish it!” scolded Steffy.

Sofony also stared at the ring she had. Of course, hers was a fake, and she only asked the system to provide her with something look-alike so that it would be easier for her to invent a reason for suddenly giving out things. After all, these two loved to ask. They would only not question her if she said the rings were token of friendship or something.

Time quickly passed. She chatted with them a bit and then parted ways with them.

She checked her phone for the time and saw that it was only 4:13 pm.

”It's sad but there's still no news on her whereabouts....” she groaned and started walking down the streets.

”...Will things be different if I chose to go to another city? Though no one has died yet, I still can't shake off the guilt. If I didn't become greedy... if only I chose to leave Alina City, will things still end up this way?”

A sneer echoed in her mind.

She stopped talking with the system and thought things through.

In the end, she also stopped thinking after realizing that there was already no way back. Clarissa and she were already enemies. Mortal enemies at that.

'Aside from one-upping and defeating the other in order to live, what's there to think of?'

She looked up at the clear skies and bitterly smiled.

Four minutes later, she walked out of a large convenience store with an ice cream cone in one hand.

It was already late afternoon, but since the past events depressed her so much, she thought it would not hurt to treat herself with something.

Anyway, it was the fault of the convenient store's ice cream poster!

Also, just who the heck made her so stressed?
