"You look good, girl," I grinned at her.


    She blushed and hugged me again, "Oh please." She pulled back, "You don''t look bad yourself, either."


    "Sydney!"


    Grace and I exchanged a nce when we heard my name being called out then we both turned to the direction the call hade from.


    I raised my brows at the people walking towards us. Truly, these were thest people expected to run into - Mark and Be. What a surprise.


    After Grace left for Paris, it was left to me to oversee the affairs of thepany. I had been so busy getting things right and stripping thepany of all the employees that didn''t want it''s progress that I didn''t even have any time to think about Mark or Be or anyone or even anything that wasn''t relevant to the growth of thepany.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Even whenever I was in GT Group, I have nevere across him. Now thinking about it, I wondered how that had happened. I mean I visited GT Group a number of times and we never ran into each other. Could he have been avoiding me then? But it didn''t even matter. It was even a good thing and it wasn''t like I ever itched to see him.


    Seeing them now- a huge grin on Mark''s face and Be smiling slightly as she ckubg to Mark - felt like a lifetime since Ist saw them.. "Grace, hello," Mark stopped before us then he turned to me, "Sydney, long time no see. How have you been?"


    "As you can see, I''ve been good. How about you?"


    Mark shrugged, "Life goes on." Then his brows creased very slightly, "Have you guys got time? We could all grab a cup of coffee."


    Reflexively, my gaze wandered to Be, who possessively holding Mark''s arm,


    was


    I couldn''t help but mentally shake my head. So Mark was still clinging to her? Well, none of them or their actions meant anything to me anymore. I had let it all go.


    "Hi," Be managed out when our eyes shed.


    "Hi," I answered politely and turned to Mark, declining his offer. "Nah, we don''t have the time, Mark. We have pretty important things to do."


    Mark looked somewhat disappointed. Then he quickly covered up his disappointment with a smile, "Of course. Next time then."


    I couldnt help theugh that bubbled up my throat, "Don''t you think a good ex-wife should keep a proper distance from her ex-husband? So, no, thank you. There won''t be a next time."


    I wasn''t about to invite Be''s trouble into my life again. She should have Mark all to herself.


    I didn''t wait for his response, I took Grace''s arm and started to veer her toward the car.


    "You guys didn''t notice?" Be suddenly blurted, stopping Grace and I. I turned to her and saw her stroking her belly. It was then I noticed the big naterbal gown she had on and her slightly protruded tummy. I couldn''t stop the raise of my brows. Wow.


    She smiled and riveted her gaze solely on me, "Sydney, I''m pregnant. Aren''t you going to congratte your sister?"


    "Really?" I fully turned around, "Then I must congratte you on bing a mother." I held her gaze, What does this have to do with me that you had to personally tell me though?I''m sure I didn''t impregnate you." I scoffed, "How funny."


    I turned and took Grace''s arm. As I veered her toward the car, I said, loud enough for Be to hear," What''s the big deal about being pregnant? I don''t get why she''s so proud. Like she''s the only one on earth who can have a baby."


    Grace responded immediately, ying along. "I know right!" I almost burst outughing, her voice was even louder than mine; as usual, she always took things to the next level. "I bet when either of us gets pregnant, our baby will be a thousand times cuter than hers."


    After Grace''s outburst, Mark''s words drifted to us. "You didn''t have to tell her, you know," he said in a clipped tone.


    "What''s it to you?" Be shot back.


    Mark must have responded to her but their voice drifted away since they''ve started to walk away


    By the time we got to the car, my face was hurting from holding back myughter. I burst out, guffawing." Grace, you still haven''t changed, huh?" I said amidstughter.


    "What?" She shrugged as sheughed with me, "I was simply backing you up.
