As Jacob's girlfriend and the young lady of the Shi Group, she had to pay attention to her image all the
time. But now, what she had done was still in vain. The friend she looked down upon was not her
friend. She finally became someone she looked down upon.
After asking the room number of Melissa at the counter, Alice asked the staff to lead her to the door of
the room.
The harsh sound of singing was heard in the KTV. Needless to say, it was a mess inside. After she
pushed the door open, Alice didn't go in immediately. Instead, she searched for Melissa in front of her.
The KTV was indeed in a mess. Singing, drinking, there were a group of 7 or 8 people with great noise
around. Alice frowned. Except for Melissa and her boyfriend, she was not familiar with the rest.
Everyone looked back at the door simultaneously and saw Alice.
Melissa stepped forward, held Alice's hand and said affectionately. "Oh, Alice. I thought you wouldn't
come."
As far as Melissa knew, it was the first time that Alice had come to such a place. But Melissa's ability to
read people's mind was obvious. She could see the gloom on Alice's face, so Melissa didn't ask too
much.
"Come on, everyone. Be quiet. Let me introduce Alice to you." Melissa said as she led Alice to the
crowd.
Alice walked towards them, even though she despised them in her heart. But she had finally become
such a person.
Alice walked over and greeted everyone. She looked calm, but she was very resistant in her heart.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Alice, Melissa's friend." Alice looked absent-minded. Only she knew how
perfunctory she was. Alice thought to herself.
"You're too modest, Alice. Let me tell you an astonishing secret. Alice is the girlfriend of the CEO of the
Shi Group. The CEO divorced his wife for her. I'm sure everyone has seen the news." Melissa looked
complacent. Such a friend could make her proud.
Alice smiled awkwardly and listened to their compliments. "No wonder she is so beautiful. She looks
different. "
A handsome man next to him said nothing. He knew the beauty in front of him very well. She was
Jacob's first love, and Sara's rival. She didn't look as good as Sara, but she had a special style. Jacob
was so lucky. All the women he met looked fresh and refined, different from other women.
Thompson took a step forward and said with an ambiguous smile, "Miss Alice, I'm very familiar with
you. I'm also very familiar with Jacob. "
Alice glanced at the man in front of her. He was Thompson. Although Alice didn't have a direct contact
with him, she had studied all the famous people in the circle in private. She wanted to be the wife of the
CEO of the Shi Group, wouldn't it be laughable if she told others she didn't know these people in the
future?
"Oh, Thompson. Nice to meet you." Alice pretended to be polite. Even her tone made herself feel
uncomfortable. She had no choice. The man in front of her was one of Sara's pursuers.
Thompson was a little surprised. He had only met Alice once, but she knew his name. The woman in
front of him was really not simple.
"I didn't expect you to have such a good memory, Alice. We just met once, and I haven't even
introduced myself to you." Thompson seemed to sum it up with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Thompson. Nice to meet you, Miss Alice." Thompson hung his hand in the air, waiting for
Alice to shake hands with him.
Alice stretched out her hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Thompson. We are old acquaintances."
Thompson held Alice's hand tightly. Although she was a little embarrassed, she didn't say anything. All
of a sudden, Thompson felt that Alice was not as hateful as he thought.
Noticing the embarrassment, Melissa urged, "Come on, let's go on drinking and singing. Don't be a
killjoy!"
Alice shook off Thompson's hand. Although the man in front of her didn't look so annoying, she still felt
uncomfortable being held by him like this.
"Let's go. Let's sit there and have a chat. I think we might have some prejudice against each other
before," Thompson said to Alice, as if he also realized the embarrassment.
Alice smiled awkwardly. She had more than prejudice on him. He was almost her enemy. Back then,
Thompson had been so anxious to protect Sara, but now when she thought about it, she was unhappy.
But on the surface, Alice was happy. "Okay, let me have a good understanding of Thompson and
remove the previous prejudice."
Thompson grinned wickedly. The woman in front of him was smart, but she was too smart. Men don't
like smart women. Maybe Alice doesn't know.
Thompson sat on the sofa, and so did Alice.
The others were singing, as if they were tactful to turn down the sound volume.
"Alice, it's rare to see you come to such place." Thompson reached out his hand and poured beer on
the table next to him.
"I want to try something different. After all, changeless is unfavorable." Alice wasn't as arrogant as she
used to be. Her voice sounded more pleasant.
Thompson squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. Although the tear stains at the
corners of her eyes had disappeared, he still felt that there was something wrong with her makeup, as
if it was fixed stiffly, which made him feel awkward.
Thompson remained calm. Such a situation was not rare. "Well, I can see you look different today,
Alice."
Alice's heart jolted. What did Thompson mean? Why did he say that she was different today?
"Thompson, you must be kidding." Alice said, wondering if she showed her grievance so obviously.
With an intoxicating smile, Thompson handed a glass of beer to Alice. "You look more amiable and
approachable than usual."
Alice smiled. She took the beer and said, "Really? Then it seems that I have to take the path of being
approachable in the future, lest people think that I am arrogant."
Thompson smiled. No matter how smart a woman was, she was still a woman. How could she
understand what a man was thinking?
"Cheers!" Thompson raised a large glass of beer, and Alice stretched out her hand and clinked it with
him.
It turned out that the man in front of her was not as annoying as she thought.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of beer, Alice looked at Thompson with an ambiguous expression.
"In fact, the reason why I came out today is that I bickered over with Jacob. I think I should release my
emotions after being restrained for so long." A touch of bitterness appeared at the corners of Alice's
mouth. She was not pretending. She was really aggrieved, but she had no choice.
"Oh, what's going on?" Thompson was surprised. In fact, he had already known the reason.
Although everyone in the circle had heard of the news that Jacob divorced, few people could get his
divorce certificate. Someone was so blatant to want to make Sara unable to free herself from the news,
who could did it except the woman in front of him?
It was just that Alice still thought she was smart. Everyone knew the truth.
