Suddenly, the car screeched to a halt. Claire's body jerked forward because of the sudden brake. Before she could come back to her senses, Louisa grasped her shoulders, looking at her anxiously.

  "Claire, are you sure about what you just said?" Louisa asked in a hurry. Fortunately, they were not on a road with much traffic, otherwise they would surely have caused an accident.

  "Louisa, why did you suddenly stop? You freaked me out!" Claire patted her chest, still suffering from the shock. Louisa's sudden brake had scared her out of her wits.

Louisa shot daggers at Claire. Why should she give up? 'No way! It is not finished yet, ' she thought. He who laughed last, laughed the best. She still had a chance to turn the tide.

  "Of course, I'm your friend. But I'm not as horrible as you just described. Do you think it's right to insult me like this when we are friends?" Claire bristled. She was pretty annoyed by Louisa's words. It was true that she had changed her attitude toward Leena these past few days, but it was not to the extent of kissing her ass.
