The power of friendship!

Alice's Pov:

Alona looks at me with a surprising look.

"Girl, this boy doesn't cook that much, but when he does, you will regret not tasting it," she says while bringing me to the table.

Liam sits on the main chair, and Alona and I sit next to him.

We were sitting in a triangle. It was kinda awkward, but Alona asked me some questions to break the silence.

"So, how is it to work in the company?" she asks me.

It is alright.

These days were tough, but I managed it with the help of my friends. I say while smiling.

"Oh, that is good. That is the magic of having friends. They are there for you when you need them. They make you smile when you are sad and pick you up when you fall," she says.

I could see the sadness in her eyes. She was smiling, but it wasn't sincere.

To keep the conversation going, I asked her if she had friends like that.

I was afraid that it was wrong of me to ask her, but she answered me nicely.
