Nora had brought Xiu to her own family hotel which made Xiu even more perplexed. The interior carved beams, exquisite frescoes, and expensive retro wall lamps of the hallway along with the panoramic view of the city at night through the floor-to-ceiling windows were always a highlight of this hotel for Xiu.
As they neared a banquet hall and Xiu noticed where they were headed, she stopped walking and said, "You brought me to a wedding?" Nora smiled sheepishly. "You know I don't like weddings."
Nora held her arm and puckered her lips, "I didn't want to come alone and you're my only best friend."
Xiu gaped at her for a second before saying, "I literally am feeling like a scapegoat right now. Just because you didn't want to suffer through this alone, you pulled me along to ruin my Saturday night. I could have gone on a date with my boyfriend."
