Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Indeed, people behaved in mysterious ways. But this was just the way they were wired as humans. Oftentimes, if someone didn't want to give you something, there will always be someone else that was willing. But you might not accept it. This game was unfair to Alice and she had lost completely. She had put many things on the line and all of them went down the drain.

Nevertheless, she was undeterred. She refused to give up so easily. This was because she had her own conviction on the matter. Alice wouldn't change her perception just because of the statements and actions of other people. She shunned all the opinions from people.

She had already met several kinds of people in her lifetime. These people came with different characters and perceptions. During those years, she had disappointed some people. But she had also put her confidence in other people and it was thwarted. They all let her down!

For this reason, Alice would never forgive those individuals. Her heart was already hardened towards them. After all, there was a law of cause and effect. It clearly stated that everything happened because of a previous action.

"Mr. Joshua, stop praising her. You might just scare her away with your praises. Then I wouldn't know what else to do. She had been abroad for a long time and suddenly, she insisted on returning. I still don't know the reason for her return. Well, I think it's time to call it a day. I should take her home now."

Thompson glanced at his watch. Although it was still early, he was fed up with the conversation. He was tired of associating with these hypocritical people. They were actually not his type.

Thompson's patience was gradually running out. With a gorgeous smile plastered on her face, Alice looked at him and nodded. She didn't forget the reason why she came to meet Thompson in the first place. Also, she didn't think that he forgot.

At that instance, the both of them figured out what to do. It was best to end the discussion as soon as possible. Alice was confident that Thompson would give her a good answer.

Because of this, she tried to smile even if she had to listen to all the bullshit they were spewing. Besides, Alice didn't want to offend a powerful person. If she did, her life would get worse than it already was. It would be her doom!

"Mr. Thompson, you are right. We are leaving now. You have already spent a lot of money today." The fat man stood up and patted his clothes.

As Alice sat there, she felt like the man was emitting a kind of disgusting smell from his mouth. This made her feel sick in her stomach. Despite her disgust, she still gave the stout man a fake smile and remained mute.

Alice felt embarrassed deep down in her heart. This was because she was forced to give such a kind expression to a chubby and unattractive man. Fortunately, they were finally leaving. But she was yet to start her business.

Within a few seconds, the group of people exited the private room. Then Alice was left alone with Thompson. In a daze, she stared at the wine glass without uttering a word. Several thoughts were running through her mind, 'Did Thompson know?
