Chapter 160 The Necklace Is Gone

“Okay, I understand. Thanks; you’re the best!” Vivian took off her shoes and leaned against the sofa. At first, she was smiling. Then, she seemed to have thought about something, and her expression turned solemn. “By the way, there’s something I wanted to ask you. Didn’t you tell me before that Alex has a girlfriend now? Is it that lobby manager named Courtney Hunter? It’s nothing; I saw her today. She’s quite pretty. Alright, I can’t chat anymore. I have things to do. I’ll invite you out for dinner some other day. Bye.”

After hanging up the phone, Vivian put her phone down. Hugging her knees on the sofa, she fell into a daze while leaning against a pillow. She thought back about the woman she saw this morning. That woman is quite young, but she’s not prettier than me. Judging by her temper, she seems to be quite obedient and submissive. I didn’t see anything special about her; she certainly doesn’t look like the type Alexander would like. Is it really because he’s getting older that any woman would do? She wondered. Whatever; in any case, it doesn’t matter what kind of woman it is. Any woman standing beside Alexander is my enemy. When I came back this time, I vowed to take back what I had. I’m going to reconcile with Alexander.

At noon the next day, Courtney was patrolling the lobby area when she saw a familiar car parked at the entrance. Her eyes instantly brightened at the sight, and she quickly walked over. Before she could approach, she saw two figures coming out of the car, one after another—it was Alexander and Vivian.

“Alex, treat me to lunch today. I gave you such a valuable contract out of respect for you. In the future, you won’t need to worry about customer turnover for all the major hotels across the Eastern region anymore, whether during the peak season or the off-season.”

“What do you want to eat?”

“Otharian food, of course. I’ve been overseas for so long, and there was no way to get authentic Otharian food there.”

While they were talking, they saw a figure that was standing not too far away looking at them.

and she couldn’t help clenching her fists. At first, she had wanted to call out to Alexander. However, looking at the current situation, calling out to Alexander would only embarrass him. Thus, she lowered her head, wishing that the ground would swallow her up.
