Her body is aching all over. The bag feels too heavy on her shoulders. She takes short and heavy steps on the side of the road. Why did her car have to die in the middle of nowhere when she was coming back from a crime scene? She can't hail a cab. She can't get a signal from her phone.
Suddenly, a car stops near her. She keeps walking. It could be one of those annoying men mistaking her for a damsel in distress. She's in distress, but she's not someone who would spread her legs because they helped her. Besides, it's not a good idea to get into anyone's car.
"Iori's cousin!"
Chiyo turns around when she hears a voice that she didn't want to hear ever, especially in this circumstance. She blinks when she sees Kawamoto Ren stepping out of the car. Why is his hair blue?
She snaps out of a daze when she sees him walking toward her. She hasn't forgotten the embarrassing things that she did around a year ago. She takes long strides away from him.
To those who are wondering when this novel would end--
Volume 1: The main couple's story already ended (chapter 243).
Volume 2: Takeshi, Iori and others (focussed from chapter 244).
Volume 3: Mira Kirishima, Yuta and others (Still in the planning stage).
I know that I should have made new novels for volume 2 and volume 3, but the thing is the highest limit on web novels is 20 novels. I already have 9. I am keeping the other slots open for some wild idea that might strike my brain in the future. Also, making new novels mean repeating old chapters to make the story clear to the new readers who might not read wicked CEO. I don't want any of you to reread old stuff.
I hope it's alright.
