When Caroline entered the room, it was quiet. The blonde beauty who had just cursed at Charlotte Allison was frightened by the gun Charlotte used to tap her face.
"Miss Ella, long time no see." Caroline seemed unfazed by the tense atmosphere, greeting the blonde beauty she knew with a warm smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ella snapped out of her shock, looking up at Caroline in a daze.
"You..." She was just about to speak when the cold gun barrel against her cheek scared her silent again.
"Charlotte, don't be so rough." Although Caroline was clearly enjoying Ella's fear, she pretended to be considerate, stepping forward to take the gun from Charlotte's hand and gently helping Ella up, "Miss Ella, please have a seat, explain the situation to Charlotte, she won't harm you."
Caroline played the good cop, gaining Ella's trust despite her terror, though before speaking, Ella still cast a wary glance at Charlotte Allison.
