Wretched lass

While oblivious of the mother-daughter duo's bewildered thoughts, the two unlikely pair has gotten out of the hospital and to the parking lot where Eric's black Audi TT he has told his P.A. to leave behind.

Though it felt good to see those two with their shocked faces, Alice still doesn't agree with the method that was done to achieve that moment. This shameless man has told the idiotic duo about something they should not know. There is enough trouble in her plate, and this guy has the audacity to add some more --- or be another problem.

"Are you going to keep holding onto me like that? Though I enjoy the thought, if we don't go now, those women will be here any minute." Eric's well pleased smile is plastered in his handsome face.

Alice's deep thoughts has made her unconsciously follow Eric's lead from the room to the outside while holding his waist because he was walking fast. Hearing his voice that sounds like ridiculing her, she snapped out of her thoughts, immediately unlatched her arm and backed off a couple of meters. Seeing a smile on his proportioned face that made it more striking, she gave a scowl in return.

"I did not need you to do that. I could've handled it by myself." She then turned to get her suitcase that was in his hands. But instead of giving it to her, he opened his car boot to put it there. He then sat on the driver's seat after opening the passenger's door.

"Hop in."

Alice looked at him with a 'I can't believe this guy' expression. So he's not done playing the prince charming role, offering her another ride. But as much as she wanted to refuse, she heard a shout of her name. Without turning around to find out who it is, though based on the voice, it is her dear stepsister, she entered the car. As soon as she closed the door, Eric speeds up and left the hospital grounds.

Left behind in the parking lot is Cassandra, as her mom can't run that fast. She tried catching her breath, while toxic thoughts fills her head. 'WHY?!' 'WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BITCH? How can she steal MY man?!' Stomping her foot on the ground, she then called her personal assistant to have a car to go back to their house. Her mother finally caught up, also breathing heavily.

"That bitch just left with Eric! Mom! What should I do?" She began to cry real tears now. She finds it unfair that the man she badly desires is in the hands of a woman like Alice.

"Calm down, Cassandra. It might be just a ploy of that wretched lass. She might have been in contact with him so that they can embarrass us today. We'll figure this out. Go back home first, I'll stay a little bit with that Old woman in case she wakes up."

Her assistant and the car is just at the parking lot too and arrived just minutes after her call. She walked towards the car and entered. She slid open the window so she can reply to her mother. "Yes, Mom. That slut could be at the house now, I better get going."

"I'll call your father so he'll know she's coming back."

"Okay, Mom. I'll be going first." With that, she closed her window and the car drove.
