Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Gale raised his hands in the air as if surrendering.

"You know what, you're drunk and this conversation is meaningless. Talk to me again once you're sober. Now, go inside and let's call it a night."

Serena is furious, but Gale has a point. She can't control her mouth from saying stupid things because of the champagne. She can't think logically, so she won't be able to have a proper conversation with this man.

"Fine. But we need to have a serious talk next time." she curtly answered back. Afterwards she hurriedly went inside the apartment building and slammed the door right into Gale's face...

"You and your stupid mouth, Serena!" she angrily lectured herself once she's inside her unit.

She flopped herself into the couch and she instantly saw a note on the table.

"I'm out of town with my boyfriend and I'll be gone for three days. Once I get back, you need to tell me everything that happened at the after party. And you need to tell me your encounter with Gale after the break up..." - Brit.

After reading the note, her mind made a mental flashback on her conversation with Gale a while ago...

"Why are you doing this?" he suddenly asked.

"Why are you staring to get clingy with me? Why are you flirting me eventhough you knew that I'm dating Chelsea now?"

Oh my my my! So does it mean that they became a couple and they just broke up recently?

The question is, what was the reason of their break up? Is it because of a third party? Did they fall out of love? Or maybe they just drifted apart?

She then remembered Liam and Katherine Hamilton. Their union is the only positive outcome that happened after she made that decision back in 1945.

She is now wondering on what happened to Walter Hayes and Elizabeth Montecarlo...

**********************

Serena was woken up by the sound of their landline phone. She wanted to sleep more since she doesn't have anything else to do, but the phone just keeps on ringing and it's just disturbing her sleep.

With a helpless sigh, she decided to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Oh, I'm sorry for calling early in the morning but, am I talking to Serena?" the voice from the other line sounded so familiar.

"Yes, this is she. Who's calling?" Serena curiously asked.

"Hello,darling. This is Katherine Hamilton."

Serena instantly got out from her bed and focused all of her attention to the caller.

"Kath---I mean,hello,Mrs. Hamilton! How did you know my number? And how may I help you?

"Please, just call me Katherine or Kathy, whichever you are comfortable. By the way, do you feel alright now? Looks like you had too much of a drink at the after party." Kathy asked her.

"Goodness, I sincerely apologize for what happened last night. There's no excuse, but I guess I'm not really good at holding my liquor...But I'm feeling much better now, thank you..." Serena apologized, while feeling embarassed.

"That's good to hear. If you're not busy, is it okay to invite you for a brunch? Don't worry, Gale's uninvited, and he doesn't know that I'm calling you right now." Kathy spoke again.
