"You know he's the great Mr. Jealousy."
They casually chatted as they headed to the private room. When they turned the corner in the hall, Dixon suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze. Sensing that something was wrong, Debbie looked up at him. The smile on his face had slowly faded away, and he stared intensely at the other end of the corridor. Debbie followed his gaze and noticed a familiar face in the distance.
"Kristina?" she exclaimed in shock.
She had tried to get in touch with Kristina after settling down in
Alorith but failed. Kristina had stopped using her old phone number, and it seemed that she wasn't using her WeChat account either, because she hadn't updated any new posts in her Moments for a long time.
Totally out of the blue, she saw a man and a woman heading in their direction and the woman was Kristina, her old friend who had gone missing for a long time.
She was wearing a black Chanel coat of the latest style, and her arm was draped around the mature man's. They were talking happily, but when
Kristina noticed them, her smile froze on her face.
The awkwardness in the air could be cut with the knife.
The mature man next to Kristina followed her gaze and asked curiously,
"Are they your friends?"
Kristina forced a smile and nodded, "Yes, my university classmates
Debbie quickly removed the sunglasses and mask. She gazed at Kristina in disbelief and asked excitedly, "Kristina, where have you been all of these years? We've tried to contact you many times."
Kristina looked at Debbie, and her eyes became watery. She was starting to feel nostalgic. A myriad of complex feelings had flooded her heart.
She wasn't expecting to run into her old friend and ex-boyfriend here.
Being caught off-guard, she fought back the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Deb, long time no see..." 'I have missed you guys so much she thought but keeping these words to herself.
"Yes, it's been a long time. Kristina, you know that we've missed you so much? Where are you now? We're having dinner here with Jared and
Kasie. We even tried our luck to contact you earlier today. What a coincidence that we met you here! Come and join us." Debbie invited her with great enthusiasm while deliberately standing in between her and
Dixon. She knew the two would feel embarrassed and awkward to meet each other again.
Despite how uncomfortable it was for Dixon and Kristina, Debbie still felt it necessary to invite Kristina to the reunion dinner. They used to all be good friends, after all.
Kristina was stunned for a moment. It was beyond her expectation that
Debbie and the others would still invite her to a reunion dinner, especially since she had disappeared without any contact for so long
She was at a loss, not knowing what to do. After a moment's hesitation she whispered to the mature man next to her, "Do you mind if I don't go back with you now? I would really like to catch up with my old friends."
The man smiled and gently nodded.
