"JULIET!"
The shrill scream nearly shook the walls.
Juliet winced and instinctively pulled her head back.
Alexa stormed into the apartment like a raging hurricane.
The moment her eyes landed on Juliet standing in the living room, she came to an abrupt halt.
Her chest rose and fell violently with every breath. Fury practically radiated from her entire body, and her eyes burned with enough hatred to set the room on fire.
Juliet slowly looked her over.
From head to toe.
For a brief moment, she genuinely struggled not to laugh.
Alexa looked absolutely terrible.
Mud coated her expensive heels. Dark streaks of dirt stained her arms and cheeks. Her designer dress was wrinkled, filthy, and hanging awkwardly from her body. There were even dried leaves tangled in her hair.
Judging by her appearance, she hadn't gone home to shower, change clothes, or even look in a mirror.
It seemed she had rushed straight here the second she managed to get back into the city.
"What the hell did you do?" Alexa practically screeched.
Her finger shot toward Juliet like an accusation.
"You sent me to a fucking cemetery last night!"
Juliet immediately pressed her lips together.
Her shoulders trembled.
A dangerous smile threatened to break free.
So the driver had actually left her there.
The image alone nearly destroyed her self-control.
Alexa stomped forward, her heels striking the floor with enough force to make them click sharply against the tiles.
"It took me all night and all morning to get back!" she shouted.
Throwing her arms dramatically into the air, she gestured toward herself.
"Look at me!"
Her voice rose another octave.
"Do you think this is funny?"
Juliet bit the inside of her cheek.
Very funny.
In fact, it was probably one of the funniest things she had ever seen.
