Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 366 Erase

"It's funny, Alice. I thought you were too proud, and I thought you would be too tough to deal with. However, it seems I jumped to conclusions too quickly."

Thompson laughed wildly. Thompson was one of those men who went through life almost without a care. But that doesn't mean he wasn't raised to follow rules strictly.

Of course, Alice was no exception. She had been taught to follow rules since she was a girl, and these rules governed the way that she lived out her life. Even as an adult, she felt constrained and restricted.

As she grew up, she felt like she was bound to the rules of etiquette.

She knew this very well, but she couldn't do anything to change it. It was the most pathetic thing about her life, and it was the part of her that brought her the most pain. It hurt her deeply, but in spite of how much pain it caused her, she couldn't do anything about it.

"What do you mean?" Alice's face darkened. She could hear the sarcasm drip from Thompson's words.

She couldn't stand being mocked. If she were able to tolerate it, perhaps she wouldn't have ended up in her current situation. "I'm just kidding. Relax... You're too serious. I didn't mean anything by it." Thompson smirked, explaining. He wasn't afraid of Alice, but he respected her. He wanted her as an ally.

He wanted to treat her politely, and he wouldn't dare to insult her deliberately. Thompson was certain about that.

"Well, just say it. Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want us to keep working together, tell me. I'll come up with another plan."

Alice crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looked angry. It seemed that she had made up her mind. However, she didn't go straight to the point.

"Well, I know how you feel. I empathize, although I haven't encountered such a situation myself. I'm simply a loyal friend. Your business is my business. Besides, we have a common enemy."

Thompson threw his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

Obviously, Alice was not as confident as she projected herself to be. But she had no one else to turn to but Thompson.
