Chapter 588
"Thanks," Elizabeth said with a faint smile. "I'll send you the money."
"No need," Alexander replied.
Elizabeth shot back, "It's just a drink. I can handle it. No need for you to pay."
"Elizabeth, come on. It's just a drink," Alexander said, clearly frustrated. "Even if we're not getting back together, we can still be friends. No need to be enemies, right?"
"I wish we were enemies," Elizabeth said with a smile.
Alexander was at a loss for words.
Just then, Ivan walked over. "Got the tickets. We can go in now."
Elizabeth nodded and decided to order another drink for Alexander.
"Hey, one more of the same drink for him," Elizabeth told the server, pointing at Alexander. Then she walked away with Ivan, leaving Alexander standing there, fuming.
Alexander thought about just leaving.
Elizabeth was being so unreasonable.
But then he remembered what Lily had said and took a deep breath to calm down.
He walked over to the cinema service desk.
The staff smiled. "Mr. Tudor."
"One ticket for the movie that just started, in the back row," Alexander said.
The staff nodded. "Sure, Mr. Tudor."
Inside the cinema, Elizabeth and Ivan took their seats.
Elizabeth sipped her milk tea while texting Lila.
Lila: [What! You went to the movies with Ivan? And Alexander is there too? I wish I could fly back and join the fun!]
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. Lila loved this kind of drama!
She glanced over and saw Ivan deeply engrossed in a complex work-related text conversation.
Elizabeth looked at Ivan's face.
He was so busy but still made time to watch a movie with her.
Feeling a bit sorry for him, Elizabeth continued messaging Lila: [You don't care about my situation at all.]
Lila: [So, did you leave Alexander outside the cinema?]
Elizabeth: [Yep.]
Lila: [I can just picture it. Alexander, left outside the cinema trying to win you back! How pathetic!]
Elizabeth laughed.
Even though Lila wasn't there, she could totally picture the scene Lila was describing.
Lila really hated Alexander and loved seeing him miserable.
Elizabeth: [It is pretty pathetic.]
Lila: [Don't you dare go soft on him.]
Elizabeth sneered, [Only fools go soft.]
Lila: [Good, hearing you say that, I'm relieved!]
The movie started, and Elizabeth put her phone away.
Ivan sent one last message and then turned off his phone.
Elizabeth noticed and asked, "Did you sort out your work issue?"
