Chapter 170
Katherine and Luke exchanged glances before raising their heads to look at the person who exclaimed just now.
June looked at the two and intriguingly asked Katherine, "It's been a long time, Katherine! You and Luke are?"
"Friends.” Katherine answered unhurriedly.June glanced at her before switching to Luke.June looked as if she didn't believe what Katherine had just said and still teased them.
"Tch, we've known each other for so long; why are you keeping it a secret?"
Katherine didn't like the woman in front of her very much.
June was a notorious busybody when they were in high school.
What was worse was that not only did June enjoy gossiping a lot, she was also good at spreading baseless rumors.
Katherine's smile faded as she heard the implication behind June's words.
She said coldly, "We'll be leaving first. Before Katherine and Luke had the chance to leave, June insisted on prolonging their conversation.”
She hastily said, raising her hands to stop them, "Hey! Wait! It's our high school reunion tomorrow, and you haven't been to one in a long time.Now that you're back, you ought to show up, right?" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Katherine raised an eyebrow and answered with a hint of impatience, "Let's discuss it later"
June pressed, "Then, add me on Telegram! I don't know your account yet!"
Having no choice, Katherine took out her second phone, opening her spare Telegram account to add June to her friend's list.
Then, looking at June's satisfied expression, Katherine lightly said, "If there's nothing else, we'll go first' June nodded but still reminded Katherine.
"Oh, and don't forget about the class reunion tomorrow!"
"Yes” Katherine agreed in a laid-back tone.
Although her interaction with boys was passable in high school, it was quite a disaster when girls were involved.
As a result, Katherine's relationship with them was strained until they graduated.
Now that she and Luke encountered June, Katherine was sure that June would make different speculations about her and Luke in private.
Even though she, Alice, and Luke had been friends for over twenty years, being casually linked together with Luke still irritated Katherine to no end.
Besides, although Alice didn't seem to mind it, for Katherine, it was still best to avoid arousing Alice's suspicion lest it would cost them their twenty years of friendship.
"Are you really going to the reunion tomorrow?" Luke curiously asked as they walked.
Katherine shook her head and humorlessly smiled.
"No" Luke frowned.
"But June can be very unreasonable."
Katherine couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, hearing Luke's explicit reminder.
She replied indifferently, "Well, she's also quite capable when pestering me"
Looking at her reaction, Luke was stunned for a while, and then he realized that he was worrying too much.
It took half an hour to get to the city from the airport, so Katherine arrived home at about ten o'clock.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Katherine felt the need to attend tomorrow's high school reunion.
While preparing the ingredients for chicken penne pasta, Katherine told Alice about their encounter with June at the airport.
In addition to that, Katherine mentioned her plan to attend tomorrow's high school reunion.
On the other side of the line, Alice, who was meticulously applying a facial mask, anxiously said, "Katherine, I am telling you, June didn't have good intentions when she invited you.Maybe they were scheming something against you at the reunion!"
The more Alice talked, the more agitated she became that her face mask nearly fell off.
She apprehensively said, "Katherine, don't be so foolish; why are you even going to the high school reunion?"
Alice continued with an incredulous tone, "Friendship?"
Katherine's brows furrowed as if she had heard a novel term.
Thinking that Katherine was really kind-hearted, Alice suddenly jumped up from the chair and quickly shouted, "Don't tell me you suddenly realize that you had some good feelings left for our high school classmates?"
"No” Katherine replied and shook her head, inwardly amused at Alice's thoughts.
She picked up the pot of pasta and drained it before transferring it to the large bowl.
Alice dramatically heaved a sigh of relief, and then she continued asking, "But why? For me, you're not that sentimental.Besides, our classmates in high school won't evoke some novel emotions from you, right?"
Katherine exasperatedly asked, "What the hell are you thinking about?"
Just now, when Katherine heard Alice berating her on the line, she angrily laughed and said, "Don't worry, I only remembered what happened when I was in my sophomore year.This time, I can finally get even with what Alexa and the others did to me"
For a brief period, Alice was stunned when she recalled an incident from their sophomore year of high school.
When she heard Katherine's soothing voice filled with a dark aura, Alice couldn't help but tremble and nervously chuckle as she said, "May I remind you, Katherine, that murdering people is illegal!"
As if she'd considered everything, Katherine answered nonchalantly, "Oh? But murdering pigs isn't against the law"
"How can you compare a person to a pig? So, can I be the same as them?"
Alice asked, quite frustrated, thinking that she was being compared with those.
Katherine chuckled, "Well, it's quite true.Even a pig is better than you"
Upon hearing this, Alice was at a loss for a moment.
With an aggrieved expression on her face, Alice silently wondered, '’Are you kidding me? How can I be worse than a pig?'’
