Katherine pressed the doorbell, and the door suddenly opened.
Alice instantly greeted her with a tight bear hug.
She returned her hug and looked down at Alice with a smile, "What now? Do you want to celebrate
New Year with a blast? Are you becoming more childish?"
"No, I wasn't! You're so rude!" Alice snorted.
Katherine raised her eyebrows in amusement and handed the bag to Alice.
Alice, who had just said that she was heartless and cold, was already spinning and jumping with joy
with the bag in her hand and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! This is a Balenciaga limited edition tote bag! I
love you so much, Katherine! Just tell me what you want, and I will do anything for you!"
Katherine raised her hand to block her face.
"Oh, that's okay.Enough with this over enthusiasm.Just leave it to Luke."
Hearing Luke's name, Alice, who was crazy for that luxurious bag, finally calmed down a little.
"Well, anyway, what do you want to drink? Juice or what?"
Katherine sat down on the sofa and looked up at her lazily.She didn't reply to Alice.
Feeling guilty, Alice hid her bag behind her back and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Alright, it's juice then!"
Alice could even produce a work of art even by cooking a simple meal out of simple ingredients.
To be honest, though, the juice that she just squeezed tasted a bit bad, as if it had recently been
rotting.
Katherine had always been modest and directly admitted that her body couldn't take it.
"Just give me any sports I drink that you have, please.I need to be energized"
"Oh, okay! Just wait here” Alice replied with enthusiasm.
Alice quickly gave her a bottle of a sports drink and asked, "Did Mr.Walker do anything?"
Katherine opened the bottle and made a single gulp before answering, "Nope.He didn't."
She watched Alice as she was cutting an orange.
It was still a little unclear if the Walkers would do anything as of the moment.
Alice snorted loudly.
"The Walkers has the upper hand in C City for all these years.It is time to give them a reality check.Tell
them what it's like to have someone stronger than them.There is always someone stronger than
anyone!"
Katherine raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean? What are you thinking?"
"Hey, this is not simple! Can't you just let Celine takeover their market?" Alice replied playfully.
Katherine answered, "Will you pay for it?"
Alice paused before replying, "Katherine, please just pretend I never said that!"
‘An indigent person like me can't afford to say things like that” Alice thought to herself.
"What a blind idea" Katherine smiled.
Although the Walkers dominated C City, it didn't mean that they were the only player in such an
industry.
Their company’s initial product was producing the materials necessary to make bags.
Eventually, they had shifted their business into manufacturing the bags themselves, specifically
women's bags that they had offered in the local as well as the domestic market.
But recently, almost two hundred of their company's branches had closed down, and they had focused
on manufacturing mothers and kids’ needs.
Katherine wouldn't need to seize the Walker's market share if they decided to manufacture traditional
consumer products.She just had to make her own market.
It was very hard for other competitors to defeat the Walker company.It would only happen if there was a
problem on their main branch or from any of their raw materials suppliers.
"By the way, I haven't seen Zack these past few days.How about you?" Alice inquired.
Upon hearing Alice's question, Katherine played with her fingers nervously.She lowered her head and
took another gulp from her juice bottle, and replied, "No, I haven't"
"Hm, why didn't I realize Zack was so shameless before?" Katherine thought for a moment and softly
said, "Maybe I was even more shameless than him in the past’
Alice was shocked for a moment before yelling, "What? That's called bravery! What do you mean
shameless? You are already married; you just developed intimate feelings towards your husband.That
does not make you shameless! Now, you guys are divorced! If such, it only means that you are not in a
relationship anymore.The people who still got the nerve to bother someone they are not linked with
anymore...are the shameless ones!"
Katherine smiled and retorted, "Well, that makes sense, Alice’ Luke came out from the kitchen with a
freshly steamed fish on hand, proudly announcing, "Dinner is served."
It had been a long time since the three of them had come together like this.
Alice brought out a bottle of red wine.
They talked about the past as they slowly finished drinking the red wine.
However, it was only Alice who did the talking part most of the time.
Katherine was just listening to Alice as she reminisced about their past, while Luke was so busy picking
the fish bones and peeling shrimp shells for Alice.
