Tranquility - Chapter 12

---- Chapter 12: Do You Want Another Chance? | felt a sense of relief after settling my score with my enemy. It was at that point that Kelly reached out to me and scheduled a meeting at a pawnshop. | was grateful to Kelly because without her initial investment of six thousand dollars, my revenge plan wouldn't have been able to progress. | would still be struggling to save money for tuition by working part- time. However, | was puzzled about why she wanted to meet me at a pawnshop. Kelly was a wealthy heiress, so what would bring her to a pawnshop?

The pawnshop we met at was quite different from what | had in mind. It was located deep in an alley, well-lit, and looked no different from the trendy bubble tea shops that young girls frequented. "Hello... It's you," a round-faced girl with twin ponytails behind the counter greeted me, smiling. "Do... do you know me?" | asked, feeling an odd sense of familiarity when looking at her. "It seems like you haven't remembered yet. Wait a ---- moment," she replied and poured me a cup of tea.

The mystery was soon revealed when Kelly entered through the door, wearing a disgruntled expression on her face. "Seriously, who picked this location?

When | decided to close the company, Kelly didn't raise any objections.

As | looked at the round-faced girl sitting with Kelly, it suddenly dawned on me where that sense of familiarity came from. "| get it now. In my past life, after | died, the voice that appeared in my mind was you." The round-faced girl smiled. "You remembered." ---- In my previous life, after my death, in a state of bewilderment, | heard a voice with a touch of mischief asking, "Tsk, how pitiful, would you like a second chance?" | replied that | wanted that second chance.

"Alright, what will you use as collateral?" "If you let me start over, I'll use my unwavering loyalty as collateral." And that was how | had been reborn. | stood up and bowed to her in gratitude, and she quickly helped me up. "Don't mention it, if you want to thank someone, thank our Miss Carter." "After all, Miss Carter is also our angel investor." Kelly patted my shoulder. "l invested in you because you were Haley's client, she said with a sly smile.
