When James heard this, he was slightly surprised.
Pamela blushed and replied, “Thank you.”
She then said, “James, I’ll go change my clothes first. You wait for me at the restaurant downstairs.”
With that, Pamela headed back to her room.
Katie pushed through the crowd and went straight into the elevator, with James unexpectedly following her.
Inside, James asked coldly, “Why did you say that earlier?”
Katie looked at him and replied, “Didn’t you say it’s all just pretend? Just playing the part.”
James turned away, ending the conversation.
When the elevator reached the restaurant floor, Katie stepped out first, chose a seat, and browsed the menu, ignoring her surroundings.
James sat beside her in silence.
Moments later, Pamela arrived.
“James.” she called out. He stood up, took her hand naturally, and joined their friends at a large table.
“During the wedding night celebrations, James and Pamela seemed as bashful as newlyweds.
“More like ravenous wolves reunited after a long absence! Did you see the marks on Pamela’s neck when she came out of the tent?” someone teased.
“James, how long have you been holding back?”
All their friends assumed Katie didn’t understand Spanish, so they chatted openly in the language without restraint.
Pamela blushed, nestling deeper into James‘ embrace.
“Quit talking foolishness,” she remarked.
James gave them a stern look and warned in Spanish, “Careful now. Don’t cross the line.”
“I know. Pamela is shy,” someone added.
Hearing this, Katie gripped her water glass tightly.
At that moment, Pamela turned to her.

“Katie, James and I are short a bridesmaid for our wedding. Could you be our bridesmaid in a week?”
“No, I can’t. I have plans in seven days,” Katie quickly declined.
In a week, she would also be a bride herself and couldn’t take on the role of someone else’s bridesmaid.
Pamela pouted and playfully asked James, “What are we going to do? We’re short on bridesmaids.”

James tried to reassure her, saying, “It doesn’t matter. For my wedding, as long as you’re there, that’s all that matters.”
“James, you’re such a flirt!”

Katie thought it was the worst meal she’d ever had.
After dinner, James walked Pamela to her room.
As Katie was about to leave, someone called her name.
“Ms. Jensen.”
She turned to see it was Jessica Gorgli, Pamela’s best friend.
Jessica approached her and said, “Ms. Jensen, you’ve seen it–Pamela is the one James wants to be with. Watching them together every day must be hard for you. Why not let go with some dignity?”
Katie looked at her calmly and responded, “If Pamela were truly the one James wanted, they wouldn’t have broken up, and he wouldn’t have pursued me three years ago.”
With those words, she left the restaurant.
Jessica sneered behind her, “James pursued you because Pamela went abroad to study. You were just a tool for him to mend his broken heart. In James‘ eyes, he already has an ideal partner, so no one else, not even you, can compare. No matter how attached you are, James will never choose you in the end.”
Katie didn’t reply to being called clingy.
It was then she realized that James had sought her out three years ago only to heal his wounded heart.
The last bit of affection she held for him slowly faded away.
When she stepped into her room, her phone was ringing.
