Chapter 2020 Caution
Chapter 2020 Caution
“Liz, can you be more serious at a time like this?”
Elisa gave a slight nod. I’m pretty serious. There’s no way Kaylee could have my birth date and time. Not about such precise details anyway.
Rachel was seething with anger. She was upset about how Elisa seemed nonchalant about her own safety. This is no different from scheming to take advantage of a predator. She’s simply disregarding her own safety. Perhaps one could still get something from taking advantage of their predator. But what can she get from staying with Kaylee?
Rachel puffed up in annoyance. “There are also curses that don’t require one’s birth date and time… Even if she doesn’t curse you, she can poison you, and you’ll still be in trouble. Even if she doesn’t poison you, she might try to cause problems for you. Anyway, she has made it clear that she knows nothing. Doesn’t that mean she’s a fool? It’s more than normal for fools like her to cause trouble.”
Rachel became more and more agitated as she spoke. “When the time comes, you’ll have to bear all responsibility for anything that happens.”
Elisa patted Rachel’s shoulder. “Look at you. You’re getting more and more worked up.”
“How can I not get worked up?” Rachel widened her eyes. “If there’s no other choice, I’ll share a room with her
Elisa laughed and said, “Aren’t you afraid she might implant a parasite on you, curse you, or stir trouble for you?”
Rachel was overwhelmed by anxiety upon seeing how Elisa was still joking around. “Let her deal with me then. At least I have my guard up against her… Regardless, I’ll deal with her better than you do.”
Seeing how edgy Rachel was, Elisa understood that the former was genuinely concerned about her and decided to stop teasing her to save the trouble of having to appease her if she flew into a rage.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do. Didn’t I ask for two rooms? We’ll each take a room and won’t disturb each other. Besides, I’ll lock my door tight when I sleep at night. No matter how brilliant she is, she can’t possibly tear down the door, right?” Elisa said.
Hearing that, Rachel wanted to say something, but Elisa cut her off. “All right. Why don’t you reserve some energy to go to the hot spring later? By the way, what kind of swimsuit did you bring? Which brand is it?”
With that, Rachel’s attention was successfully diverted. The two began chatting about random stuff until they completed the check-in procedure.
When Kaylee timidly approached them with a keycard, Rachel finally realized that she had fallen into the trap.
I wanted to reprimand Liz for what she was doing. How did we end up talking about swimsuit brands? But there’s no chance to say anything more. Kaylee’s here now.
Rachel’s expression was grim as she threw Kaylee a somewhat unfriendly glare.
Kaylee looked apprehensive and dared not even breathe loudly. That made Rachel seem like she was the villam instead.
Nonetheless, Rachel had not forgotten how arrogant Kaylee had been at the hotel previously.
She has such erratic mood swings. That’s enough to prove how terrifying she can be.
“Rachel, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?” Kaylee touched her face in confusion.
Elisa figured it was inappropriate for Rachel to stare so intently, so she nudged the latter’s elbow.
“That’s enough. Hurry up and head upstairs. The porter is waiting.”
As Elisa spoke, she signaled the hotel porter carrying the luggage behind her with her gaze. Only then did Rachel do as she was told.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
