Because they had been friends for many years, Alice sensed something was wrong based on
Katherine's troubled expression.
Dismissing the memory she had suddenly remembered, Katherine took the dress from Alice's grip and
decided to wear it.
"It's fine now.That was in the past.’’ Katherine already had a clear outlook when talking about the past.
She accepted that her relationship with Zach had ended, and all was in the past now.
Alice was momentarily stunned at Katherine's decisiveness.
She could only watch as Katherine brought the dress into the fitting room.
By the time Alice came back to her senses, Katherine had already pulled open the curtain, walking in
front of Alice and wearing that slim black dress.
Katherine then asked her as she smoothened out the dress.
"How do I look?"
Looking at the sexy and alluring Katherine, Alice's eyes instantly brightened.
She couldn't help but gulp down and exclaim in amazement, "Wonderful!"
Although the dress was simple, the cross-necked collar totally outlined Katherine's neckline, making
her extremely elegant but sensual and alluring.
Furthermore, the outline of the tube dress truly highlighted Katherine's tiny waist and behind.
The slim black dress was elegant and ladylike.
Though the cross-collared design was seductive, it was not overly revealing, thus showing its contrast.
Still, Alice believed that this dress was tailor-made for Katherine as it matched her temperament.
After seeing Katherine dressed like this, Alice felt that she would be totally seduced by Katherine if she
didn't love Luke.
Seeing the awestruck look on Alice's face, Katherine wrinkled her brows.
She then pretended to admonish Alice by saying, "Close your mouth."
"Fortunately, I didn't drool,'' Alice jokingly replied, raising her hand as if wiping the drool at the corner of
her mouth.
Though Katherine was amused by Alice's antics, she still helplessly smiled and scolded her,
"Nonsense.Alice was a well-known celebrity, so she would not dress shabbily when she went out on
such an important occasion.Katherine walked towards the vanity table, picked up a lipstick, and handed
it to Alice.
Katherine gently reminded her, "Put on your lipstick so we can finally go out.”
"Alright, beautiful Katherine"
Alice seductively said, looking at Katherine's eyes heatedly.
To make her acting even more convincing, Alice acted like a hooligan when she provocatively raised
her eyebrows at Katherine and caressed the back of the latter's hand before reaching out to get the
lipstick.
Watching Alice's salacious act, Katherine eyed her indifferently.
After Katherine unblinkingly stared at her, Alice finally felt embarrassed.
Thus, she stopped fooling around and properly applied her lipstick.
After she finished, Alice glanced at Katherine and said, "Let's go, Katherine.
Katherine stared at her for a moment to confirm if Alice's makeup was flawless before she deemed that
they were good to go.
Outside, Alice directly sat in the passenger seat as Katherine took off her high heels and sat in the
driver's seat.
She wore flat shoes for now.
Looking out the window, the night was getting dimmer, and the sky was dark even if it was before
seven o'clock in the evening.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the hotel entrance.
After boarding the elevator, it went straight to their destination, The Signature Room, located on the top
floor.
When the elevator opened, Alice realized that the silence of the entire floor was quite unusual.
It was not the first time for Alice to come into The Signature Room, but it was quite unusual for this
place to be so quiet given that today was New Year's Eve.
Alice's confusion was evident in her face as she looked at Katherine.
She couldn't help but ask, "Did someone make a reservation for tonight? If not, why does this place
look so deserted as if only the two of us are here.”
Faced with Alice's inquiries, Katherine lowered her eyes to avoid herself from giving away Luke's
surprise proposal.
Katherine told Alice, pretending to be ignorant, "Let's take a look first"
"Okay then” Alice dismissively said but still followed Katherine.
The clicking sound of two pairs of high heels was heard as they approached the door.
Although the two could see that the entrance of The Signature Room was opened, not a single light
could be seen as if the place was closed.
Katherine quietly retreated to the side to give Alice the spotlight for Luke's surprise.
Yet, she didn't expect that her arm would suddenly be yanked by someone.
She grimaced and turned around only to see Zack, who was now grasping her arm and was here for
some reason.
Katherine's expression became chilly in an instant.
She coldly asked, "What brings you here?"
Zack intensely looked at Katherine, his voice full of urgency that even he didn't notice.
"Katherine, you can't..."
Before Zack could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Alice's excited squeal.
Zack frowned and tilted his head.
He was astonished after he'd seen Alice dash into Luke's arms and warmly embrace the latter.
Then, Alice cheerfully asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you had to go on a business trip?"
Just as Alice finished asking, Luke knelt down on one knee and earnestly looked at Alice as he said,
"Yes, it was a business trip, but the destination is your heart.I was hoping that this trip was for a
lifetime.I just don't know if I had the opportunity to stay in it for the rest of my life."
Zack was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
Before going here, Sean called to inform him that Luke had reserved the entirety of The Signature
Room and was most likely planning a surprise marriage proposal.
Indeed, Luke was really proposing right now.
Yet contrary to what Zack believed, that proposal was not intended for Katherine but for Alice.
