In the video, Alex's handsome face, usually aloof and cold, was filled with laughter, and his eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Vivian.
This was a smile I had never received.
Before this, I thought he was just naturally not a smiling person, incapable of expressing affection.
I laughed in self-mockery, unwrapped the cake, and ate it in silence.
The greasy, sweet taste spread in my mouth, but suddenly, it felt pretty pointless.
I took my phone and called Alex.
He answered quickly, and his voice was as cold as ever. "What's up?"
As he spoke, I could clearly hear the sound of fireworks in the background.
After a two-second silence, I swallowed the cake in my mouth and asked calmly, "Where are you?"
"At the office. What's the matter." He seemed to have moved away from the riverside, and the sound of fireworks was gone.
His voice was still calm, showing no signs of the panic one would expect when lying.
I glanced at the video on my tablet and felt even more disinterested.
"Let's break up."
"You're making a fuss again."
I sneered, "Browse the videos online more often, Mr. Internet Celebrity."
With that, I hung up the phone.
