Marriage And Love Again

Alicia did enjoy the meal even though they had met someone disgusting. After all, it was a seafood feast worthy of more than four thousand dollars. Every mouthful of it counted!

Well, it was too good to have a rich friend!

Alicia packed another helping of fried rice with seafood right before she left, in the name of bringing it for Joan.

Suny just didn’t bother to expose her. It was only another helping of fried rice. She could definitely afford it.

Cecelia paid the bill and they got out of the restaurant. Shirley had been waiting for them there for a long and she stopped them, “Hi.”

Alicia didn’t expect that Shirley would say hi to them first. She looked at Shirley and couldn’t help laughing, “Long time, Ms. Shirley. You’ve got lots of attention on Facebook!”

Shirley’s face sank in a flash but soon after that, she realized that she didn’t stay to quarrel with them, “I dined out with my friend today. It’s surprising to see you here.”

“What can we do for you, Ms. Shirley?” Suny smiled lightly.

Shirley looked at the gorgeous woman in front of her and she was afraid of being found out under her poker face.

She stopped being afraid when she believed that Suny didn’t know Gary, “Nothing much. I just said hi.”

She paused and glanced at Alicia. Then she spoke out the main purpose, “Ms. Alicia is an insider. You know the paparazzi! I am afraid of being misunderstood, so I left behind to remind you of that.”

In other words, she was implying that there was nothing between Gary and her. She hoped Alicia would keep her mouth shut if the paparazzo snapped shots of them.

Another reason why Shirley had to stay and say hi to Alicia was that she wanted people to believe that they had dined out together. When they were photographed by the paparazzi, she could whitewash herself with it.

Silly little tricks! Alicia could see her through without the help of Suny.

She almost lost control and rolled her eyes at her. But a lot of people kept coming and going and Alicia didn’t want to argue with Shirley here, which would help make a headline for those paparazzi.

“Oh, we said hi already. Your friend must be waiting for you. Just hurry up, Ms. Shirley.”

Shirley glanced at Suny. From the beginning to the end, Suny had said only one sentence, which made her uneasy.

“You are an outsider, Ms. Suny. I hope you will watch your mouth and talk sense when some of your friends ask what happened today.”

Alicia wasn’t happy to be a tool man for Shirley, and Shirley even dared to talk to Suny in that arrogant way! She got pissed off at once, “You’ve got a good sense of humor, Ms. Shirley. Suny never gossips or talks nonsense. I can be sure of it!”

Alicia paused a bit, “Sure, Suny just loves the truth.”

Shirley was frozen and she could tell that Alicia was mad, so she dared not to speak again. She nodded and said, “Don’t get me wrong. It will be awful if Suny is involved in the gossip and rumors. My friend is waiting for me and I must go now. Catch you later.”

Then, Shirley pulled the mask up and turned to leave.

“Wait!”

“Ms. Shirley,” Suny called out to her.

“Anything else?” Shirley frowned and looked a bit unhappy.

“I don’t know we are friends.”

“What do you mean, Ms. Suny?” The words stopped Shirley from leaving.

“Nothing much. I meant it literally.” Suny smiled lightly.

Shirley believed she was irritating her on purpose, but she didn’t care about it, either, “We are not friends.”

“Right.”

Suny nodded her head, “It’s true that we are not friends, Ms. Shirley. So, is there anything to do with us for what happened today?”

Suny’s soft and tender words made Shirley look bad.

She thought Suny was embarrassing her on purpose. But the truth was that Cecelia had never thought of being friends with her or caring about any of her shitty petty things.

Suny finished talking and glanced at Alicia, “Let’s go.”

Alicia couldn’t help but applaud quietly. She blurted out when they walked past Shirley, “Actually we are not friends, Ms. Shirley. You don’t need to say hi next time when you see us again.”

Shirley was out of words.

By no means did she want to say hi to them!

Suny didn’t take Shirley to heart at all. She’d got a meeting in the afternoon. She went back to Phantom after she dropped Alicia off.

She had received several text messages from Alicia after the meeting.

“Shirley Summers has made herself a trending topic! She mentioned me on Facebook just now and said it was a regular reunion of friends.”

“I replied like this, ‘We’re not friends. Don’t mention me randomly, Ms. Shirley.’ Joan told me that Shirley’s agent has contacted us and requested me to clear out on Facebook that I was just kidding.”

“I’m laughing my ass off, dear Suny. I am looking forward to the day when Shirley Summers fails! Maybe she fails faster than the out show is on the broadcast.”

Suny raised her eyebrows and checked her Facebook. She found both Shirley and Alicia were the trending topics on Facebook.

Shirley had made herself a trending topic by dining with a mysterious man at noon, while Alicia gave herself the hashtag by saying that “We’re not friends. Don’t mention me randomly, Ms. Shirley.”

Suny went through the comments. Shirley’s fans were pretty devoted and they just blackened Alicia on her Facebook page.

Alicia had been totally carefree since her second account was dug out. Everyone knew that she was the die-hard fan of her bosom friend Suny and they all knew that Alicia was an expert in cursing and dissing people in the circle, even without dirty words.

Suny went through the comments and couldn’t help laughing. She put her phone away and looked at Rosa, “How has Dora been doing these days?”

Rosa reported briefly to her Dora’s situation. Suny nodded, “OK, I see. Thanks for your hard work! Nice job!”

Dora had been in hospital for almost two months and she had been obviously better off. The attending doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital if things went on well like this and she wouldn’t be stirred up emotionally.

Without a doubt, Suny was happy. She smiled brighter when Austin picked her up in the evening.

“What’s the smile for?” Austin turned his head to look at her.

“It’s possible that Dora can be discharged from the hospital at the end of the month.” Suny smiled.

“Good!”

“Yes!”

It was good!

Austin raised his hand to touch her cheek and looked away, smiling.

He was also happy if she was happy.

Elijah had finished his work day and watched the sunset outside the window. Suddenly, he was upset when he remembered that he had to eat alone.

He had made himself a lonely single man since Austin had been with Suny again.

Both of them used to be the golden singles. But Elijah thought Austin had almost forgotten him and tried to call him and invite him to have dinner together so that they could maintain their friendship. But the internal call came first.

Elijah, who was leaving for home after work, was a bit unhappy, “What’s it?”From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Brooks, Ms. Shirley is at odds with Ms. Suny’s friend, Alicia. And she wants you to help reconcile it.”

Elijah had played the peacemaker a lot. But he didn’t say yes this time when he heard Suny’s name, “What exactly happened?”

The secretary told him to the point, saying it was a little mistake caused by greeting. He thought that Shirley didn’t do anything wrong, and neither did Suny and her friend, Alicia. It was nothing but a misunderstanding. But they are fighting like hell on the Internet now and they can’t bring it to an end if Alicia doesn’t make her stand and compromise.

It sounded like nothing serious to Elijah. But he suddenly remembered how Suny had seated him up in the golf course that time and said, “It’s easier said than done! She is Austin’s girlfriend. Why don’t you reconcile it yourself?” Austin was difficult to deal with, and so was Suny. Now they were together and who the hell could afford to offend them now?
