Chapter 145 - The questioning bill
"Alex, I miss you so much," a sultry female voice sounded. Joanna’s face twisted with a frown as she stared at Alex. Even though it was just a contract marriage, they had rules, but Alex was breaking them, or so she thought.
"If you want to live the rest of your life without your arm, then you can keep it there," he said in a low, cold voice. The lady whose hand was wrapped around him pulled away, smiling awkwardly at Joanna, who was pleased with Alex’s attitude.
The woman was well-dressed but also flirty. Joanna wondered why she came over to their table if she was there with her friends.
Worse, she couldn’t seem to keep her thoughts and words to herself. "You must be my replacement."
Joanna felt offended, but before she could respond, Alex spoke up. "How could she be your replacement when you were never even in the picture?"
Meeting another of his exes, he was just happy for Joanna’s appearance that fateful day, as he wondered what drew him close to Nora.
Expecting the woman to leave, she instead pulled a chair and sat with them, and so did her two friends.
Joanna regretted immediately not taking the offer to dine in the private room like Alex had suggested before.
"Joan, I never knew I’d see you here," a loud female voice spoke from the entrance. Joanna turned in the direction of the voice but try as she did, she could not recognize it.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Disappointment sat on the face of the female walking towards her. Joanna felt lost as she could not put a name to the face.
