Chapter 17

Alice and I were on our way home now. We were picked up by Christian, who was curious why we ended up here. I told him that the girl I'm with was my invented excuse. Maybe it's because I won't be able to face anyone if they find out that I'm Logan's slave. Just imagine how shameful it is on my part!

"It's good that we're going home now. This whole situation is tiring. I didn't even get to help you because our paths separated. Why did I let myself get dragged into the kitchen? But to be fair, there was so much gossip there! I also picked up a lot," she said to me while we were inside the car. I don't think Christian could hear us.

I winced. "Maybe you should just accompany me next time? You'll just get tired there. Your purpose is to help me, but on the other hand, they gave you other tasks. We're at a disadvantage, right?" I said.

"It's fine with me, and I'm part of this domino effect."

Woah? Domino?

"We're here now, Krystal, and Alice," said Christian.
