Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1413 Unexpected Meeting

Darcy was suddenly struck by the abruptness of it all, making things seem rather surreal. Regardless, after she heard her friends' words, she decided to take the rumors she heard at face value. Thus, she didn't bother delving too deeply into the implications behind their grumblings. Instead, she chose to accept Kendrick's statements as truth.

"You're right. I'm overthinking matters again. Silly me!" Darcy acknowledged her tendency to overanalyze the situation as she nodded in agreement.

As a result, the initial lighthearted joy returned to their gathering.

Now that Nicole was certain that the conversation between Darcy and her band of misfits held no interest for her, she figured that it was time to go. Nonetheless, she didn't expect to bump into Wendy.

The four of them tacitly remained silent until they were out of the restaurant, assured that no one would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation. Then, the four divided into pairs as they turned to face one another.

"Nicole! I can't believe that you're also having a meal here! Oh, we could have shared a meal if I had known that you were coming here as well," Wendy expressed her sincere regret of being unable to have a good time with Nicole. As she thought about the nonsense she had heard earlier, she couldn't help feeling frustrated that her perfectly good day had been ruined because of those harpies.
