"Well... it's just that I'm bored with nothing to do, and it's not like I'm tired or anything."
Facing Elly's questioning, Helen averted her gaze somewhat guiltily.
Elly, however, didn't believe her. The files were piled up like a mountain in front of her. If it was just boredom killing, would she need so many?
She knew Helen was purely trying to numb herself with work to forget Harry Hall and everything related to him.
That was why she insisted on taking her out for a trip to get a breath of fresh air, and keeping a watchful eye on her would give her some peace of mind.
Already skinny as a rail, if she left Helen to her own devices, did she even care about her life anymore?
"Bored, you say? Then come out and have some fun with me, take your mind off things."
Helen discovered that ever since her best friend remarried Adam Jones, that pig trotter, her personality had also started leaning more towards his.
Overbearingly so.
