Zack loosened his grip on Katherine's wrist.The latter then moved her hand to finally free herself from
the former.
Katherine rolled her eyes and sighed as she walked to the parking lot.It had already been ten months.
Katherine thought she had already let go of her feelings for Zack.
But the truth was, Katherine hadn't.
Now, she felt like Thalia had slapped her back to her senses.
Katherine now realized that the reason why she left Zack was because of his ruthlessness and
indifference.
In those three years that they had been together, if Zack had once stood up for Katherine, she wouldn't
be so embarrassed.
But no, that didn't happen.It was more important for a person to prioritize their future over their past.
If a person continued to dwell on their past, it wouldn't be helpful for their personal growth.
This was why Katherine didn’t want to get back with Zack.
After getting inside her car, Katherine didn't drive right away.She sighed and massaged her temples as
she thought about what Thalia had said to her.
It was ironic that other people saw Katherine as a person who was calm and reserved.
However, deep inside, only she knew how broken she was because of the failed marriage.
As Katherine let her tears flow, she was startled because her phone suddenly rang.She took it and
checked who it was.
"Alice..." Katherine murmured.
She didn't want to answer since she was afraid that talking to Alice might accidentally reveal what she
was feeling at the moment.
But Katherine's car was so quiet that she couldn't help but recall everything she said to Zack.
‘why is my memory so good at times like this?’ Katherine thought as she frustratedly ruffled her hair.
Katherine sighed.She didn't mean any of the things she told Zack.
In fact, she didn't really think that he wasn't worthy of her.
Katherine just couldn't accept it.She couldn't accept that she had spent ten years of her life loving
someone that left her in vain.
Katherine raised her hand to cover her eyes.She picked up her phone with her other hand and
answered the call.
"Hello?" Katherine said.
"Katherine, I have good news for you!" Alice replied cheerfully.
"Natalie's acting skills are too bad.The director couldn't stand how bad she was, so she was kicked out
of the production," she said and laughed loudly.
Katherine smiled a bit at Alice's reaction.
"When did this happen?" she asked.
Katherine quickly wiped her tears and smiled at her phone.
Alice didn't suspect anything since she was busy explaining.
"It happened this afternoon! I heard that she had too many scenes.And if she continues to be that way,
she will be the cause of the delay! Even Daphne couldn't handle how unprofessional Natalie was.It
even got to a point where Daphne made the director choose over her and Natalie.I mean, the director
isn't dumb to choose Natalie, right?" Alice said, full of enthusiasm.
Katherine looked out of the window and admired the night sky.The moon is full tonight" she thought.
Because of everything that happened a while ago, Katherine felt tired of talking with Alice.
She gave Alice a small smile before she spoke, "Then, that must really be great news."
Alice looked at her phone suspiciously.
"Why do I feel like you're trying to hide something? Are you okay? What happened?" she asked her
right away.
"You're just too excited because of what happened earlier.That must be your imagination," Katherine
immediately replied.
Katherine paused for a moment before adding, "I won't be saying more because I'll be driving.Let's talk
next time, okay?"
Alice looked at the duration of their call and glared at Katherine.
"Hm, you're getting impatient in two minutes? You must have a new lover, that’s why you don’t want to
talk to me anymore! Go ahead and meet someone new!" she said dramatically.
Katherine chuckled at her best friend's remark.
"I'm hanging up," she said.
Alice didn't reply and just waited until Katherine hung up.
‘Aren't you a little too heartless, my friend?’ Alice thought as she sighed.
She kept wondering what could be bothering Katherine.
After ending the call, Katherine opened her car window and let the night breeze soothe her.
When she calmed down, she drove straight home.
When Katherine returned to her villa, it was already half-past eight in the evening.She felt a little tired
and fell asleep after taking a shower.
However, Katherine wasn't able to sleep well.
When she met Thalia, all the painful experiences came rushing to her mind.
Katherine kept dreaming of the people who mocked her in her three years of marriage with Zack.She
huddled up into her blanket and cried silently.
Sean had just arrived home.
Today was supposed to be a happy day, but because of Thalia, everyone went home unhappily.
It wasn't easy for Sean to make a good and lasting impression of himself to Katherine.
And because of what Thalia did, he figured Katherine would just ignore him when they met.
After that incident, Sean gave up his plan of going to the bar.He was so tired that he only wanted to go
home to take a shower and sleep.
But just as Sean got home, his phone rang.
He wasn't expecting any calls and was surprised that Zack, his childhood friend who chased Katherine
earlier, was calling.
"What's up, Zack?" Sean said as he answered the call.
An unfamiliar voice answered.
"Hello, are you Mr.Colburn’s friend? Mr.Colburn had a car accident and is now in the city hospital.Is it
convenient for you to come over?"
Sean's eyes widened as he heard the news.
"What happened to him? Is he okay?" Sean asked anxiously.
"Mr.Colburn is in the operating room at the moment," the person on the other line said.
Sean fell on the floor and was unable to speak.
