Chapter 99

During December, the end of the year, everyone was busy.It was also the same case for Katherine.

She had a more hectic schedule than before.

Her workloads, such as the documents needed to address and read, were sent to her home one by
one.

Normally, she would only show up in Future Technology once or twice a month.

However, she had to go over the company twice or three times a week this time.

Katherine had been going to the company more frequently than the times she went in the span of ten
months.

She just attended a meeting, and it ended just now.

So, Katherine had to leave, and she did it after bidding goodbye to Celine.

She found it pointless to stay in the meeting to argue if she had already clearly expressed her opinions.

The moment she left the Future Technology building, Katherine received a call from Luke.

Future Technology was just listed in the Y City's approved business more than four months ago.

So, naturally, Luke would be busier than her at this time of the year.

As a result, when she received Luke's call, she could only think that something bad had happened to
Alice.

So, the first question that came out from her lips was, "What happened to Alice?"

"She's doing fine," Luke quickly answered.



He didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "I want to marry Alice.I'll propose to her on the last
day of December.”

‘‘Aw, this is going to be exciting! This is good for Alice!’’ Katherine thought.

Katherine smiled and asked Luke, "So, are you calling me because you need some advice?"

Katherine, Alice, and Luke had known each other for many years.

Katherine knew Luke's personality.He would not dare call her if he had no important matter to do and
discuss.

"I want to buy a house and a proposal ring." Katherine scoffed.

She remembered that Alice had also said that she wanted to save money to buy a new house for them
to surprise him secretly.

Katherine felt she would be doomed if they both knew about this.

"It's already December 20.Which day are you going to buy one?" she asked.

Good friends were supposed to be like this.

There was no need to be polite when talking to each other.

You could just be straight to the point.

"Okay, when are you free?"

"Luke, this is for an important event.Of course, I'll be free if you want me to” Katherine said in a matter-
of-fact tone.



"How about the day after tomorrow?" Luke quickly asked.

Katherine thought for a moment and said, "Okay, see you then”

After she hung up, Katherine stared down at her fingers.

Eight months ago, there was a ring on her finger, which told the world that she already belonged to
someone else.

She was already someone's wife.

But now, there was nothing on it, including the faint mark which told that Katherine used to wear it for
three years.

She was not as lucky as Alice, who could marry the person she loved.

After collecting her thoughts, Katherine got into her car and drove back to the villa.

Alice was out of town for the past few days.

It would definitely be a big surprise if Luke would prepare a proposal during this time because she
wouldn't have any clue about it.

To help Luke choose their house and a ring, Katherine asked Celine to move one of her scheduled
meetings to the day before.

After she graduated from college, this was the first time that Katherine stayed in the company all day.

Luke already found some lots and possible houses to buy.

They were not far away from the city too.



It was all new buildings that were just sold from last year to now.

The price would be dependent on the exact location, and the location of the city center was at a starting
price of 100,000 dollars per square meter.

After Katherine finished her breakfast, Luke came over to her office.

Even though they had known each other for over twenty years, she rarely interacted privately with
Luke.

They had a great relationship, but they didn't talk as much as she talked with Alice.

So, their ride in the car was quiet.

When the car stopped because of the red traffic light, Katherine turned to look at Luke.

Then, she asked him, "Aren't you planning to get married after two years?"

Luke also glanced at her and deliberately said, "There is no difference between marrying now and
marrying in two years."

Katherine smiled at what he said.

Katherine did not know how much money Alice had saved.

She probably would not expect Luke to be so impatient, right? Anyone who would know this would feel
envious.
