Chapter 36: What A Wimp

Looking at her wimpy reaction, Joanna lost interest in her after taunting her with many unpleasant words. “I’ll let you go this time. If I ever see you pestering Edward, don’t blame me for what I’m capable of.”

“Have a good day.” Alice bows and sees Joanna off as if she was from the royalty.

The room is in peace at last. Alice raises her head, take a deep breath and finally, get rid of that feeling of soreness.

It’s been five years. She still remembers clearly on the scene where Joanna and Janet force her to sign that Divorce Agreement and chug that bowl of medicine down her throat.

If it isn’t for John…

“Alice! Alice……” The moment Kelly opens the door, she sees Alice’s depressed-look and becomes concern. “Are you alright?”

“Kelly……I’m……I’m good. What’s the matter?” Alice controls her emotions and looks at Kelly as if nothing is going on.

It hurts Kelly to see Alice like this. Her sorrows show in her eyes even though she put on a smiling face. Kelly reaches out her hands and hugs Alice. “Alice, you can tell me anything. You know, I’m good at nothing but at least I can be here for you.”

A warm hug from Kelly breaks down Alice’s wall. Her tears roll down and it makes Kelly panic a little. Kelly stays and comforts Alice.

After a while, the crying stopped. All that depressions are gone with the tears. Alice swears she will have nothing to do with Edward anymore!

“Thanks, Kelly. I’m fine now”’

“It’s nothing.” Kelly smiles and decides not to ask why Alice cries. Suddenly it occurs to Kelly that she’s here to tell Alice about a person looking for her at the front desk. “Oh, Alice. I almost forget about this. A guy is looking for you.”

Alice frowns her brows. “Please don’t tell me that it is Edward.”
