Chapter 85 Engagement Party 13

   "She's a friend from before, but I couldn't reach out to her when I left this place. She's also a great fashionista!" Carie said. And I gave her the 'oh..' answer.

The chef brought in tray of the food we ordered, the 'concasse of oysters, granite of seaweed and lemon was served which was the first course. I got the multicolored vegetables, damn it looked so delicious.

He explained the food and we started eating, in no time we were done with the first course, as I thought earlier, it was really delicious.

"I forgot to tell you something, the night Alex took me away from the dinning room, we ran into Berverly at the restaurant we got to!" I said. I've wanted to tell her but didn't have the chance to.

The chef got back with the second meal, and the third and fourth and the fifth. I was done after the fifth meal which was trolley of ice creams, sorbet, desert jars and traditional biscuits. Carie still had a long way to go.

"Carie!" A red haired lady exclaimed  excitedly at Carie. She was wearing a black mini loosed dress. "Ruby!" Carie exclaimed too. She was totally different from what I expected, when Carie talked about her. Compared to fashionistas, she was a normal person.

"Meet Hazel, Alex's wife!" Carie introduced us. "Hello!" "Hello Hazel, it's an honour meeting you!" We exchanged handshake and she sat with us. It's been so long... Waiter!" Carie called, from their actions, I could tell they've really been friends for a long time.

I watched thier little reunion with a smile on my lips, it was kind of cute though. I was distracted by my ringing phone and I quickly brought it out of my bag without checking the caller, I picked the call.

"Get that stuff off your ears, I want to see your face!" I heard a familiar voice echoed in my ears. I was astonished by who I saw when I checked, Alex video called me. My face flushed on seeing him again, I know I wanted to see him, but not this early.

"A... Al.. you..I mean, you called!" "Ah..... Hazel what did you just do?" I screamed in my head. "I wasn't able to call last night cause of an important stuff, I had to take care of and Trish said you arrived late!" He said.

"Yes we did, but it's not a big deal you don't have to worry, I'm okay!" "You'd recieve a parkage today. In it are three different cards, you'd have to pick anyone of your choice, that'll be the invitation card to our engagement party!" He said ignoring my previous reply.

He spoke and acted like the Alex from the first day we met, the cold emotionless Alex. But why was he suddenly cold to me? I was happy to see him at first but now, I really don't know what to feel. "Okay!" I responded. "I have to go!" He hunged up. I felt terrible by his cold attitude. Just why was he acting this way? Maybe someone offended him, I thought.

Alex has insulted me in the past but I've never felt this way before, 'Ah... What is wrong with you Hazel, you're forgetting your place already, you have seven months left, you can't give up now' I tried to encourage myself, it's what I've always done when I'm down.
