Alicia came to the place of Ellie, who looked at her belongings and asked upon her arrival, "What happened?" Kicked out so soon after getting married? "
"No."
She shook her head feebly and dragged her belongings in silently.
Ellie was her college classmate and best friend, and they both became teachers at B Middle School after graduating from the Normal University.
"What happened, indeed?"
Alicia smiled wearily, "Nothing, please don't ask and allow me some peace."
Ellie sighed and sat by her side, "I know it even if not told, as there's no good life when marries a man who frequently divorces."
"It's not as serious as you think."
"Don't be so hard on yourself and hold it back. If it weren't serious, why are you at my place now? I can't imagine how Noah would be overwhelmed when he comes back to find you're married."
"Why are you talking about him again? I have nothing to do with him. You know it better than others."
As the youngest and most promising Principal in B Middle School and with looks comparable to Pan An, a Chinese Adonis, Noah had enchanted so many girls and female teachers, but he had eyes only for Alicia since a first glimpse at her when she registered at the school, regardless of others' affection for him as deep as the ocean.
"I merely meant to remind you that you may divorce if your marriage really can't work out. Noah wouldn't mind this short-lived marriage in view of his feelings for you."
Alicia said angrily with her eyes wide open, "I'm afraid then you'll be the first one to die of grief."
As good friends, Alicia definitely knew her feelings.
Carlos drove along the way to and fro thrice, but didn't find her. Just when he was vexed, he saw the business card thrown in the corner. It was shoehorned by Colton through the window in the afternoon.
He dialed the number on it and directly asked as soon as the line was through, "Is Alicia home?"
