Chapter 63 Why Are You Here?
On December 31st, Ashley chartered a hotel to prepare for his proposal, he told Alicia that he was on a business trip and couldn’t come back, so he asked Suny to take her to eat delicious food.
As their childhood friend of over twenty years, Suny was only able to shoulder the burden of surprising Ashley with his proposal.
Alicia was convinced and said when she arrived at Suny’s villa, “I am angry, I purposely came back to spend New Year’s Eve with him, but he actually went on a business trip!”
Suny put the washed cherries on the table, “What, are you disappointed that I spend New Year’s Eve with you?”
“No!”
Alicia hurried to say: “Don’t worry, Suny, in my heart, you’re number one! No one is better than you!”
Suny didn’t even believe her and looked at her with a smile, “Have cherries.”
Alicia grunted, “Where are we going to eat later?”
“Starry Joy.”
Alicia thought for a moment, “Okay.”
She said, holding the cherries, “These cherries are quite tasty, where did you buy them?”
“One neighbor gave them to me.”
No sooner had Suny said this than Alicia came over to her, looking at her with a wink: “There’s a situation, Suny.”
Suny raised her hand and blocked her face, “It is all about courtesy.”
She said this without a scowl on her face, “You sit here, I’ll go upstairs and change.”
“Okay! Put on makeup and wear a nice dress, it’s New Year’s Eve tonight, maybe you’ll run into someone you know at Starry Joy.”
Suny’s footsteps gave a beat and she looked back at Alicia, “Okay.”
Today was the day Ashley proposed to Alicia, and as a witness, she really should dress up.
As Suny had just finished putting on her make-up, Ashley sent her a message saying that the scene had been set up.
Just as Suny replied to the message, Alicia walked in, “I came to see if you’re dressed up.”
Suny looked back at her and raised her eyebrows, “How is it, are you satisfied?”
Alicia said, “Yes, I am!”
After saying that, she went into the cloakroom, “How about I pick out dress for you?”
Suny responded noncommittally, “Okay.”
After saying that, she lowered her head and gave Ashley another reply, then locked the screen and walked in.
Suny had a lot of clothes in the cloakroom, but she didn’t touch most of them, and there were only five formal dresses in total.
She didn’t really pursue brands when buying clothes, she just needed to be comfortable in her body.
But her face was not picky about clothes at all. To put it in an exaggerated way, even if it was a rag, it still looked good.
Alicia had been a star for so many years that she had a problem of wearing clothes that are not repetitive.
She simply ignored the clothes she had seen Suny wear, and finally her eyes fell on a long black slim-fitting dress with a crossover neckline.
Alicia took the dress out, “Wear this one inside.”
Suny froze for a moment when she saw the dress, it was the dress she had bought to attend the annual meeting of KLOC the year she had first married Austin.
However, she had never received any notice from Austin.
This dress was proof of her self-interest in those three years. When she got divorced, she wanted to throw the dress away, but in the end, she kept it to remind herself that such silly things should never happen again in the years to come.
She didn’t expect that Alicia could find it.
“What’s the matter, is there something wrong with this dress?”
Suny retrieved her thoughts and gave her a faint look, “No.”
“Oh, so there is something wrong with the owner of the dress?”
They had all been friends for so many years, Alicia understood it all at once.
Suny took the dress from her hand as soon as she could, “That was before.”
Alicia was stunned for a moment as she watched Suny take the dress into the fitting room.
When Alicia reacted, Suny was already wearing the dress and pulled open the curtain to walk in front of her, “Is it okay?”
Alicia looked at Suny and swallowed slightly, “It’s quite okay.”
The dress was simple in design, but there was a small oval hollow between the crossover neckline that hung just above Suny’s breasts, sexy without being gaudy.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
And underneath was a very simple slim, straight design that showed off Suny’s waist and hip.
The black dress was modest and ladylike, with a crossover neckline design that was sexy without being revealing, presenting the two contradictory qualities of a woman’s sexiness and modesty in such a balanced manner.
Together with Suny’s face, Alicia felt that if she hadn’t been with Ashley, she would have been falling in love with Suny.
Suny naturally saw the astonishment on Alicia’s face and raised her eyebrow, “Close your mouth.”
Alicia hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her chin, “Luckily, it’s not drooling.”
Suny was amused by her and scolded her with a smile, “Useless.”
Alicia was a first-rate star, so when she went out at such a special time, she would naturally be dressed up.
Suny walked out to the dressing table, picked out a lipstick and handed it to her, “Put it on, you’re going out.”
“Okay, Beauty.”
Alicia hooked her eyebrows and acted out the rogue’s gesture with vividness, even touching the back of Suny’s hand as she took the lipstick.
Suny watched her acting indifferently, Alicia was watched for a while, finally felt embarrassed, collected her desire to perform and replenished her lipstick in a serious manner, “Alright, Suny, let’s go!”
Suny glanced back at her to make sure her make-up was perfect before nodding.
Alicia didn’t drive over, so Suny lifted her high heels onto the back seat and got into the driver’s seat in her flat shoes.
The night was getting darker before seven o’clock.
Half an hour later, the car came to a steady stop.
The two of them took the lift straight up to the top floor of Starry Joy, the lift doors opened and the whole floor was incredibly quiet.
It was not the first time that Alicia had come to Starry Joy, and today was New Year’s Eve, so it was very wrong to be so quiet.
Alicia looked at Suny: “How come I haven’t seen a single person at this hour?”
Suny lowered her eyelids, “Let’s see first.”
“Okay.”
The two of them stepped on their high heels and walked to the door, which was open, but it was dark, as if it was closed for business.
Suny took a step back, originally wanting to leave room for Alicia to make her entrance, but her arm was pulled by someone.
She frowned, and when she turned around, she saw Austin who was here for some reason.
Suny’s face instantly went cold: “Why are you here?”
“You can’t-”
Before Austin could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Alicia’s excited shout.
He frowned and inclined his head, seeing Alicia running straight towards Ashley inside, hugging him excitedly, “Why are you here? Aren’t you on a business trip?”
As soon as Alicia finished speaking, Ashley knelt down on one knee: “It is a business trip, only it is a trip to your heart. But I want to go on a long trip and live inside for the rest of my life, I wonder if I have this opportunity.”
Austin was stiff. He received a call from Elijah saying that Ashley had booked Starry Joy, likely he was proposing.
Ashley was now proposing, but he was proposing to Alicia instead of Suny.
