Chapter 86
Chapter 86
That afternoon, Lisa went back to her home and came back to my house at night. After that, she took me out with her.
When she saw my outfit, she criticized me.
Then she personally selected a long sweater for me. Originally, I thought I should wear a pair of trousers to match it. But Lisa asked me to wear long boots and thick stockings instead.
It was winter season now. And the weather couldn't be colder.
Although she said that we didn't need to walk outside, I wore two layers of silk stockings.
Only after that did I go out to have dinner with her.
After the meal, Lisa took a taxi.
After getting on the car, I heard Lisa say to the driver, "Hello, please drive us to the Queen Bar."
"The expense there is very high. We'd better not go there."
When I heard this name, I quickly stopped Lisa.
I knew Queen Bar, which was sort of one of the most expensive bars in City Y.
Previously, there were some reports on the Internet saying that some playboys from wealthy families often hung around here.
"Just go there. It's someone else's treat. Don't be afraid."
Lisa was tall. As she raised her arm, she held me in her arms.
I had no choice but to agree.
The taxi arrived at Queen Bar soon. As soon as I got out of the car, I was surprised to see the luxury cars parked by the roadside at the entrance of the bar.
These cars all cost at least one million dollars. Among them, at a glance, I saw many sports cars that cost at least ten million dollars.
This scene was no worse than that in the underground parking lot of Unit No.1, City Y.
Lisa took me to the door. Immediately, someone came to hit on her. But Lisa took me in her arms and walked inside.
We walked all the way inside. Lisa took me to the front of a semi-open table with familiarity.
I took a look and found that someone had been sitting there.
"Seth...¹
When I saw Seth, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lisa smiled and said, "Mr. Hyde, I told you that you surely wouldn't treat me in vain today."
"Sit down." Seth stood up, left the sofa for two persons to us, and sat on the single sofa by himself. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Then he handed the wine menu to us and said to Lisa, "Caroline doesn't drink. What would you like to drink? Order it by yourself."
"Caroline does drink." Lisa handed me the wine menu and patted me on the shoulder, "Have a good drink. After you get drunk and are done with the throwing up, you will have nothing to do with that d*mn man from tomorrow on."
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Lisa's words, Seth was a little puzzled.
Lisa was a straightforward person who would never be able to keep a secret. She leaned close to Seth and told him about my divorce.
Seth looked at me and frowned slightly, "A while ago, you withdrew your complaint. I thought it was a little strange. But I didn't ask you..."
I lowered my eyes.
Holding the wine menu in my hand, I couldn't help but think of how Patrick had forced me to withdraw the complaint. Then I said to Lisa, "Help me order it. I want to drink some strong alcohol. You're right. I need to forget him."
In fact, I had been drunk yesterday.
I didn't forget him and was in more pain instead.
I knew that I was deceiving myself. But I told myself that it should be that I hadn't got genuinely drunk.
Lisa ordered a bottle of wine called Magellan.
Seth tried to persuade her. But she said, "Let's drink together."
Soon, a waiter brought in the wine and a bucket of ice.
Then he opened the wine for us, poured a glass of wine for each of us, and went out.
Lisa picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers! Let's toast for Charlotte, who is back to be single!"
Seth and I picked up the wine as well.
When I saw Seth, I found that he was also looking at me. The light in the bar was dim. But I could still see that his eyes were flashing slightly.
I couldn't help but think of what he had said before.
He once had said that he hoped that he could be my first candidate after my divorce.
But in front of Lisa, I didn't know what to say. So I just clinked glasses with them and drank up the wine.
The burning wine slipped into my throat.
To be honest, the wine didn't taste good.
But I was willing to try it if I could get drunk.
After we drank for a while, Lisa said that she wanted to go to the bathroom.
As soon as she left, only Seth and I were at the table. I took the opportunity to say while I was awake, "Seth, although I got divorced, I indeed don't let him go immediately. I need time. Now I..."
"I know. I didn't say anything. Don't be afraid."
Seeing me speaking in a panic, Seth interrupted me. The expression on his face was still a gentle one.
I was a little embarrassed.
The atmosphere at the table was inexplicably awkward.
I lowered my head and looked at the wine, saying nothing.
"Are you touching me?"
"Ah!"
When I was wondering whether to say something to break the deadlock, I heard a noise on the side. And I immediately recognized that Lisa was the one who had spoken first.
But the scream later was from a man.
I had never heard such a voice before.
So I quickly stood up and walked out.
Then I saw that Lisa was standing in a vacant area of the bar with her hands crossed in front of her chest. And her face was full of anger.
The man in front of her bent over with a painful expression on his face and covered a certain important part with both hands.
"Never should you show up in front of me again!"
Lisa rolled her eyes at the man. When she saw me, she walked over to me.
Seth was also standing behind me.
We went back to the table and asked her what had happened. Only then did we know that the man we had seen just now hooked up with Lisa's shoulders as soon as he showed up. Because the man was tall. As his arm was on Lisa's shoulders, he put his hand on Lisa's chest...
Lisa was tall and in good body shape. She could be a model with ease, not to mention being a flight stewardess.
After Lisa finished her words, she said with a sad face, "Originally, I wanted to set you two up so that you can talk with each other. So I went out for a while. I didn't expect to meet such an ignorant man."
"You didn't have to do that. No need." Seth smiled and said, "I am fine with the current relationship between me and Charlotte."
He had always been like this. And he never pressured me.
After drinking for a while longer, I felt dizzy, thinking that I was about to get drunk.
As a result, the man beaten by Lisa came in.
A waiter followed him with a bottle of wine in his hand.
When Lisa saw him, she immediately stood up, "What? Should I beat you again?"
The man wasn't angry. Nor did he flinch. He said with a smile, "I just came from abroad, so I didn't understand the domestic rules and accidentally offended you, beauty. Don't take it seriously. Take this bottle of wine as my apology to you."
"No need. Take it away quickly."
Lisa rolled her eyes at him.
Then she sat down.
However, the man didn't intend to leave. Instead, he took out a business card and said, "My name is Roger Lance. This is my business card. And my personal phone number is on it."
The man had a personal number. Those who had a personal number wouldn't be ordinary people.
Lisa didn't take his business card over as she said, "Go away. Or I will call the police."
Roger frowned. Only then did he realize that Lisa wouldn't be easily convinced or pacified.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally left.
As soon as he intended to leave, he was stopped by Lisa. Then he turned back, only to hear Lisa say, "Take the wine away."
"There's no reason for me to take a gift back. Just throw it away if you don't want to drink it."
After saying that, Roger left.
I was in a daze now. And I couldn't figure out whether Roger had been angry or not.
As soon as Roger left, I proposed to leave, saying that I was too dizzy.
Lisa agreed.
As soon as the three of us came out of the bar, we saw a group of people standing in front of several sports cars not far away at the entrance of the bar. And various security guards were guarding on the side.
