Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

It was the 31st of December when Luke booked a hotel to propose to Alice.

He told his girlfriend that he would be away for a few days for a business trip and could not spend the New Year with her, so he asked Katherine to take Alice somewhere to eat delicious food.

Being friends with them for over two decades now, Katherine supported Luke's surprise proposal and kept it a secret to Alice.

Alice believed Luke's explanation.

When she arrived at Katherine's villa, she complained, "I understand that Luke is busy.But I really can't help but get annoyed and disappointed.I came back here to spend the New Year with him only to find out that he couldn't make it.He went on a business trip! Can you believe that?!"

Katherine put the rinsed cherries on the dining table.

She then pouted and replied, "Are you telling me that you're not happy to celebrate the New Year with me?"

"Oh, Katherine, no! I didn't mean it that way!"

Alice abruptly clarified.

Being the fence-sitter that she was, she immediately faced Katherine and comforted, "Don't worry, Katherine.In my heart, you are number one! No one can replace you!"

Katherine did not believe Alice.

The former looked at the latter, simpering.

She then pushed the bowl of cherries to her and said, "Whatever.Here, eat some cherries."

Alice snorted.

"Where are we going to eat later?" she asked.

"At The Signature Room" Katherine answered.

Alice thought for a moment.

With a hint of excitement in her voice now, she replied, "Alright!"
