Chapter 1662


    Arabe''s car had barely rolled to a stop in front of a charming vi when her phone buzzed with a call


    from Romeo.


    "What are you up to?" he asked.


    "Just visiting a friend. She hurt her ankle."


    "Which friend? Do I know her?"


    "A good friend. You haven''t met her."


    Arabe looked up and saw Ophelia hobbling towards her with the aid of a crutch. Probably having


    spotted her arrival on the security camera, she couldn''t wait to greet her.


    "I''ll introduce you two next time."


    Romeo''s heart warmed at his fiancée''s words. "Alright, just don''t stay out toote. Hit me up when you


    get back to the hotel."


    "Sure thing, bye." Hanging up, Arabe saw Ophelia approaching her, who looked as if she wished to


    fly. As soon as they were just a few paces apart, Ophelia discarded her crutch to embrace her.


    "It''s been too long," Ophelia beamed with a radiant smile.


    Usually, her eyes held a frosty reserve, making her seem untouchable, but when she smiled, the frost


    in her eyes melted right away, and her breathtaking beauty was revealed.


    "Abandoning the crutch?" Arabe chuckled. "Is it that serious? And here you said it was nothing."


    "I''ll be fine in a few days," Ophelia said cheerfully, with her eyes fixed on Arabe. "You must be


    starving. I had some delicious dishes prepared. Come on, you''re going to love them."


    Arabe picked up the crutch from the ground. With an air of serene grace, she smiled and assisted


    Ophelia towards the house. "Now that you mention it, I could eat."


    "Why don''t you spend the night with me? It''s been ages since anyone kept mepany."


    The vi was quiet, inhabited only by Ophelia and the household staff. Their mutual friends, like Kelly


    and the others, were often too busy to visit.


    "I didn''t bring a change of clothes."


    "That''s hardly a problem. I''ve got plenty of brand-new clothes here. Take your pick. We''re about the


    same size." Ophelia didn''t want Arabe to leave so soon.


    Seeing the earnestness in her offer, Arabe agreed.


    The dining table wasden with an array of mouthwatering dishes. After the staff had greeted Arabe


    and bowed out, the two friends were left alone at therge table.


    "This is your celebratory feast," Ophelia said as she poured some tea and video-called their other


    friends. "Guess who''s here?"


    "You and Arabe together?" Kelly eximed, both surprised and incredulous. "What are you eating? It


    looks delicious."


    "I''m still wrapped up over here, and you guys are having a midnight snack? Last time I visited, you


    didn''t prepare anything near as nice," another friend with long hair teased.

    "Yeah, I didn''t get this treatment either," added another, her short hair bobbing as she feigned offense.


    "Today, Be did me a solid, so this is her victory banquet! Even though you''re not here, there''s nothing


    to stop us from raising our sses and toasting to the good times. Cheers, everyone!"


    Kelly, who was in her bedroom, picked up a ss of water from her bedside table. "To Be, the best of


    us," she lifted her ss and dered.


    The rest of the girls joined in with whatever they had on hand—juice, soda, bottled water—and they all


    shared a lively toast, theirughter spilling through the screens.
