After packing his bags, Larry was about to leave when he ran into Mallory.
"Where are you going so early in the morning?" Larry didn't provide much detail. He simply replied, "There's something | need to take care of back home..." "Are you going back to your country?" Larry nodded and paused for a moment, as if he had something else on his mind.
"By the way... there's something | need to tell you. Josie is in Sumanthova." "What?" Mallory's face showed surprise as she asked incredulously, "Have you seen her?" Larry glanced at his watch. "It's hard to explain in a short time. | have to go now... | need a favor. Ms. Warren is currently hesitant about Mr. Russell. If you happen to see her, please speak positively about Mr. Russell... Their relationship can't handle any more difficulties... I'm counting on you." Mallory still wanted to say something, but Larry had already hurriedly left. As she watched him walk away, Mallory couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "What on earth? He didn't even explain things clearly..." The mere thought of Josie being in Sumanthova made Mallory restless.
Josie had just arrived at the second round of auditions for the Golden Key Awards. She parked her car in the garage.
Unexpectedly, a red sedan suddenly swerved, blocking her view.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosie furrowed her brows slightly and honked her horn.
The car window across from her rolled down, revealing a familiar face looking directly at her.
Josie was taken aback.
A flicker of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes, mixed with a hint of delight.
Across from her, Mallory's lips formed a captivating smile.
"After hearing from Larry that you're in Sumanthova, | cto find you. You left without a word back then. Do you still considera friend?" The two old friends finally reunited.
Josie raised an eyebrow.
When she left initially, she didn't say goodbye to Mallory, who clearly held sresentment.
Mallory was indeed somewhat angry.
Upon seeing Josie, Mallory realized that her worries over the past two years were ultimately unnecessary. It seemed... Josie was doing quite well.
"It's been a long time..." Josie glanced at Mallory, feeling as if thadn't left any marks on her. Two years had passed, and she had visibly matured.
She exuded confidence, resembling a strong woman who appeared tough on the outside but was resilient on the inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMallory let out a cold huff. "Don't think | will forgive you..." The two of them chose a cafe and settled down near the window.
Although Mallory was angry at Josie for leaving without saying goodbye, she also understood Josie's helplessness.
Given the circumstances back then, perhaps it was the right choice for Josie to leave after all.
"When Larry first toldyou're in Sumanthova, | found it hard to believe. These past two years, you cut off all contact, which madequite worried... How have you been these past two years?" Stirring her coffee, Josie nodded with a smile. "I've been well." "Have you... seen Dexter?" When Dexter was mentioned, Josie didn't show much emotion. She remained calm, as if she was talking about someone insignificant.
She acknowledged, "We've met..." Mallory was somewhat taken aback by her reaction.
Two years had passed...
It seems like she has already moved on...
However, when it cto Dexter... Thinking back on what she had witnessed and heard over the past two years as an observer, Mallory couldn't help but sigh.
Two years is a significant period of time, during which numerous events unfolded.
One notable example is the remarkable transformation that took place in Wavery. The previously chaotic and disorganized state of affairs has now been replaced by a sense of clarity. The Russell family has emerged as a prominent force, with Dexter assuming the role of an undisputed leader in Wavery.
