I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 143

Chapter 143
“Waiter!” Kingsley picked the menu up and called the waiter over to ease the awkwardness in the air. “Give me a spicy grilled salmon, spicy shoyu ramen, chilli crab…” Kingsley ordered all the food Alice loved when she was a kid. They were just poor children living in an orphanage back then, so feasts only came by during birthdays and festivals. “I hope you’ll like what I ordered, Dr. Kramer.” Kingsley was worried. It had been a decade since then, so Alice’s preferences could have changed.
“I love it.” He still remembers my favorite food… She looked at him, trying her best not to cry.
Kingsley teared up as well. Alice loved fish, but every time the orphanage gave them fish, Alice would always give Kingsley the fish, while she would just lick the fishbone. She even told him she liked fishbone. He was too young to see through her white lie, but every time he was reminded of what Alice did for him, he would feel touched. “A—”
He rubbed his nose and was about to tell Alice who he was, but then someone remarked sarcastically, “Well, if it isn’t the pretty doctor. Fancy seeing you here for dinner.”

The one who spoke was a curvaceous woman. She would have been a pretty lady compared to most people, but she was nothing around Alice. There was a guy standing beside her as well. They both had Hill Crest Hospital’s work IDs hanging from their necks.
‘Jennifer Crawford, General Surgical. Resident doctor, Y2307’
‘Brian Malkovich, General Surgical. Attending physician, Y2203’
Jennifer pretended to cover her lips and smirked. “Whoops, forgot you’re not a doctor now. You’re just an unemployed woman who got fired.”
Alice shot her an icy look. “Crawford, how many times must I tell you? I have nothing to do with Beau, so stay out of my way!”
“You think I’m stupid?” Jennifer rolled her eyes. The anger on her face was palpable, and it felt as if it could melt the floor around her.
She moved in with Beau a while ago and stayed for two weeks, but every time she asked to go exclusive, Beau would give her all kinds of excuses. In the end, Beau could not take it anymore. He told her he only loved Alice and only saw Jennifer as a fling.
Love made Jennifer blind, and she believed his lies. She turned all her anger to Alice, thinking that she was the reason Beau did not love her. Since then, she kept trying to trip Alice up. Jennifer looked at Kingsley and crossed her arms. “I see you’re finding a boyfriend after getting fired? I thought you’re an aloof woman? Are you finally selling yourself out?”
