Chapter 68


    Was it a coincidence?


    Or was she another Lindsay?


    Victoria used to be her roommate and her best friend in university, but at this moment, Alicia


    suppressed all the excitement in her heart.


    She was no longer the Alicia in the past. In the past three years, she had clearly seen the world and


    the acts of humans.


    She must protect herself from being hurt.


    ''Alicia, you''ve forgotten me, haven''t you?" Victoria said.


    When she came back to her senses, she quickly stuffed all the things back into her bag. Victoria


    raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. "I''ll be sad if you''ve forgotten me!"


    "Alicia, I''ve heard about what had happened to you! Jeremy is really a coward! But during that time,


    I went abroad for an interview. When I came back, I couldn''t contact you anymore! I didn''t expect to


    meet you here."


    Victoria took out her cell phone excitedly.


    "How are you doing now? I''ve only found out that your family went bankrupt when I went to Bayton


    City and that you don''t live there anymore! Where do you live now? Are you on a business trip, or


    are you staying in Casterwich City? My family is in Casterwich City! If you are free, let''s hang out! I


    used to go to your house frequently! Give me your phone number! I am so happy to see you! You


    are very mean. I have left you so many messages on the Inte but you''ve never replied to me—"


    "Victoria!" Alicia stopped her.


    Alicia couldn''t hide her emotions when she spoke, but she still had some scruples. "I am no longer


    Miss nchard from before!"


    Looking at Victoria''s clothes, she was beautiful and fashionable, just like the past. Alicia


    remembered the time where they were the famous, rich, and youngdies of the upper ss. They


    shared the same hobbies because of their interests so that they often hang out together. But at


    present, everything has changed. She was unsure if they could continue their friendship!


    "Alicia! What are you talking about? Are you going to hide from me if I''m a beggar now?"


    Seeing that she seemed to be a little angry, Alicia instinctively grabbed her hand. "No! Victoria, I


    mean, I am afraid that I can''t join your circle now!"


    "What circle? When I''m with you, it''s our circle! Oh, don''t be so hypocritical! Come on, give me your


    phone number. In the past, why didn''t you let the unbelievably wealthy Lena Brown into your circle?


    However, you were like a sister to that poor little girl at that time."


    "That was Bianca, she was a nice girl!" Alicia responded.


    Thinking of her friend, Alicia couldn''t help but squint her eyes with a smile. Indeed, how could she


    not believe her best friend?


    They took out their cell phones and exchanged phone numbers.


    After talking for a while, Victoria''s cell phone rang again. She turned around and quickly answered


    the call. Then, she turned to Alicia in a hurry.


    "Alicia, I can''t talk to you for now. My mother is urging me to go home, and she''s angry! I will contact


    you again tomorrow. Let''s hang out and have a chat when we both have the time! I miss the days


    we had together in college. These years, I have been running around and I seldom meet up with


    friends! If there is anything I can help with, don''t hesitate to call me," Victoria said.


    "Alright!" Alicia nodded.


    Alicia smiled with a squint. "Go home now! I also want to go home and have dinner with my


    mother!"


    Soon, they parted ways, and their footsteps became light at the same time. They waved their hands


    in the air across the road and then left in their own cars.


    Alicia received a phone call from Victoria the next day. They chose a ce and enjoyed a big meal.


    It was not expensive, but it was in line with their taste.


    When they walked out, Victoria rubbed her belly and said, "The two foodies have gathered together


    again!"


    "Aren''t you ashamed to say that? We are women and yet we''ve eaten to the extent where the


    owner of the buffet shop has noticed us." Aliciaughed heartily.


    "That''s because we are pretty!" Victoria joked.


    "Narcissist!"


    While bickering, the familiar feeling seemed to bring them back to the past. When their eyes met,


    both of them couldn''t help butugh out loud.


    "I was really happy back then! If I didn''t have a stomachache thest time, I would have gone there


    again!" Victoria said.


    Thinking of the buffet shop which resurfaced a lot of happy memories, Alicia got rather emotional.


    Unfortunately, the buffet shop was closed down. Later, she fell in love with someone. Thus, she


    rarely went out with Victoria. Thinking about it at the moment, she felt somewhat regretful!


    Life was constantly changing!


    "Whenever you return from eating, you would always dance to lose weight! However, you can sit for


    an afternoon now. It''s really enjoyable!" Aliciaughed.


    "How can you say that to me? Didn''t you exercise with me?" Victoria rolled her eyes at Alicia.


    The next second, both of themughed.


    Thinking of something, Victoria suddenly stopped and said, "Hey, I''ve eaten a lot again! There is a


    fashion party tonight. It seems to be not far away from here. Let''s go and have a look!"


    "Oh? Can I go in casually? In the past two years, I''ve never participated in these things! Moreover,


    you know that I am now an officedy!" Alicia replied.


    "You are wearing a famous clothing brand which I don''t own yet. We''ll just have a look. Why are you


    thinking so much? I won''t let anyone bully you. Let''s go!"


    Dragging Alicia, Victoria made a phone call to confirm the address.


    Sure enough, the venue was only a street away. The two of them walked and took a shortcut. They


    arrived in less than ten minutes.


    A grand fashion party was entering its climax at The Great Glory Hotel. The two of them just wrote


    their name and went in smoothly.


    At this time, it seemed that some activities were being held in the center, and everyone dressed in


    designer clothes had gathered around the stage.


    "Congrattions, Sir! You can see that this is a very meaningful party! I wee everyone to


    participate in it. As long as you put on our clothes and show your charm, you will not only help in


    charity but you may also meet your next lover! Gentleman, as soon as you donate the money, you


    can have a dance with the girl you like!" the host said.

    "The winner will not only get a 10,000 dors award but also get a set of world- ss famous brand


    cosmetics products worth 8,000 dors. The hotel will give you a discount card too! Miss No. 4,


    please -" the host announced.


    Looking at the clumsy dancers on the stage, Victoria and Alicia couldn''t help but grin.


    After the song ended, someone really did rush to offer a price. Victoria shook her head and poked at


    Alicia.


    "Hey, how can she get such a high price! Sure enough, they don''t know the real deal. Why don''t you


    sign up and show them what a real dance is!"


    Although Alicia didn''t want topete, she wanted to win because of the prize. Victoria pulled her


    backstage. At this instant, a tall figure was pushed in through the front door...
