Chapter 145

Katherine really did have another incoming phone call, and it was from Alice.

With nothing else to say to Simon's secretary, she ended the call with him.

Just as Katherine put the phone against her ear, Alice's voice on the other line asked, "What took you
so long to pick up my call?"

It was clear from the tone of her voice that she was playfully complaining about her call not being
answered immediately.

Katherine smiled.

"I was in another phone call just now"

"Oh, really? From which prick is it this time?" Alice mused.

Katherine took a sip of her water before answering.

"It was a call from Richard, Simon Johnston's secretary"

That made Alice think for a moment.

She was also aware of the issue surrounding the vase.

If Simon's secretary had contacted Katherine, then Alice couldn't help but guess.

"They already went to appraise it?"

Katherine couldn't help her lips from curling upwards.

"Yes, it was appraised this morning"



"Tch! The vase is fake, isn't it? The Johnstons must be so embarrassed right now” Alice teased through
the phone.

Katherine's face was now plastered with a triumphant smile.She didn't deny what she was feeling and
went ahead to ask, "Anyway, why did you call?"

Alice quickly remembered why she called in the first place.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot.I ordered a dress for you.Remember to try it on.Tell me right away if it doesn't
fit!"

With a helpless sigh, Katherine replied to her friend, "Let's not make a fuss about it.It's just the annual
meeting.”

Alice's disbelief could be heard through the phone.

"What do you mean by just the annual meeting? You are the largest executive there, the real face
behind Silverlight Entertainment! How can the face of the company not be dressed to impress?
Besides, there will be a lot of people attending the event.And if we run into one of our enemies, you
won't lose to them!"

"Are you saying there's a possibility I might lose?" Katherine jabbed at her friend.

"I mean...No, don't get me wrong! I just want you to trample over everyone with your beauty!" Alice
defended.

Every time there was an event like this, the first person Alice thought of was Katherine.

She sometimes felt like a mother who had a goddess for a daughter.



She wanted Katherine to show up at the event, all dressed up and pretty, so that every single person
could see her otherworldly beauty and charm.

In the past, when Katherine was still married, Alice didn't have the chance to pull her friend out of her
shell.

But now that she was divorced, what was she waiting for? Katherine's transformation was long
overdue! She was only twenty-six years old and at the prime of her youth.

Why shouldn't she flaunt what she had? Admittedly, Alice just wanted to see the jealous faces of those
who looked down on Katherine as the "rejected ex-wife of a wealthy family. Katherine leisurely put
down her drink and said, "I think you just want everyone who's going to be there to hate me"

Alice couldn't hide her frustration.

"But you have such a God-given face and body! Who wouldn't be jealous when they see you? Oh my
god, Katherine.Do you think that as long as you keep a low profile, no one will be jealous of you?"

Katherine was silent for a moment.

She thought of a comeback and replied, "Oh, that's not it.I'm just afraid that they will all fall in love with
me.There was a pause on the other end of the line.”

Even Alice couldn't handle that bit of narcissism from Katherine.

"No, don't even think about it.You can't be thinking like that! You'd be better off staying single forever
instead.I honestly can't think of anyone worthy of such a wealthy, beautiful, and intelligent person like
you.If there is, I believe I'm the only one made for you.To be honest, how did you not fall in love with
me? I've been your friend for more than twenty years already, and I'm sure you've seen all my charms
by then."



Katherine burst out laughing and played along with her friend.

"You just want me for my money, don't you?"

"It doesn't matter if it's for money or not.I just want to know how it feels like to be your girlfriend"

"You can save those words for Luke.I'm hanging up."

Katherine was not having any more from her friend.

"Katherine, you're so heartless, so cold...Alice was starting to act weird again, so Katherine took that as
a sign and immediately hung up on her friend.

Alice's call reminded her that she hadn't worked out for a few days.

By all means, her perfect figure didn't come out by just eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Katherine went upstairs to change into her sportswear and drove to the gym.

After two and a half hours of nonstop exercise, she came out feeling much more relaxed than when
she came in.

It was already winter, which meant that many people had become lazy.

She was just in the same boat since she hadn't hit the gym for nearly ten days before her earlier
session.
