Chapter 228: Meet at the Nightclub
Chapter 228: Meet at the Nightclub
After washing her clothes, Elaine cooked some porridge and simple dishes and waited for her sister to come home for dinner.
She turned on the television and shifed the channels haphazardly. Now there were practically no interesting programs. They were all alike and boring.
Suddenly!
A piece of entertainment news caught her attention! The host Ellen said, “The private lives of the wealthy had been the focus of this program. Recently, the popular young director of Tianyi Group, Emmett has once again made the headlines.”
The screen displayed a photograph. It’s Emmett embracing a slim and elegant lady coming out from somewhere. The two of them appeared to be very intimate.
“Today, our reporter managed to capture Director Emmett Smith with his new girlfriend, Marina Clooney coming out of the hospital. The two appeared to be in each other’s arms affectionately. According to our sources, Mr. Smith had long known Ms. Clooney and both were secretly in love. Now that their relationship had been exposed and attracted the attention of our viewers, we will continue to report the development between these two lovebirds…”
The report changed to other topics but Elaine was stupefied. Her eyes were wide open and panting!
“Cough, cough…” Suddenly she started to cough violently. When she looked down, she realized that she ate an entire raw radish in just half a minute.
…
“Spicy! So spicy!”
Radish was Hazel’s favorite but not Elaine’s. She just ate so much of it when she was watching the television…
Elaine rushed to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and started to gulp down the water.
“So spicy! Spicy! Spicy...” Elaine drank a lot of cold water and continued to cough. Her tears also began to flow.
“It’s because it was spicy, I’m not sad, that person has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me…” She was dazed as she held onto the washbasin as the water flowed from the tap and the tears flowed from her eyes. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Elaine encountered a very bitter experience on the day when she was accepted to the university and just as she was eighteen, naive and innocent.
For several days Elaine remained at home and didn’t step out of the main door. No matter it was Oliver or Hazel who called her, she wouldn’t leave the house. At times she even turned off her phone. Oliver had to go overseas for a meeting and after calling Elaine, he rushed to the airport and flew to England. Hazel took it seriously and attended the classes on senior management that were arranged by Emmett.
Elaine felt that she should go into hibernation.
Whenever she turned on the television, she would see Emmett being photographed with Marina enjoying themselves at some location. Whenever she turned on the computer, she would see the headlines of Emmett giving Marina some gifts.
“Damn it! Why is this rascal everywhere on the television? Isn’t there anyone else in the world? Why must they continue to report his news? How frustrating!”
Elaine felt that she couldn’t continue in that manner! She will drive herself insane! She found her cell phone and called Sally.
“Sally, it’s me, Elaine… yes, I’ve been home studying … I would like to continue to work at Y nightclub, what do you think? Please ask Fifth brother if I can go… Really? You can decide? Okay! I’ll go and look for you tonight!”
…
After tolerating for ten days, Elaine finally decided to do something with her time. She went to the Y Nightclub at seven o’clock that night.
“Elaine, I’ve waited for you for a long time. Hurry, come in.” Sally wore a red and white suit with her hair bundled up. She already looked like a senior manager.
Elaine’s eyes lit up and looked happily at Sally and praised, “Wow, you really look different. You’re now a manager and look totally different. Sally, you exude the confidence of an executive!”
Sally laughed radiantly, “Heh heh heh, you are really humorous. I’m just a small manager of a few staff. Now that you are here, I’ll let you be a coordinator. Come, I’ll let you know your work requirements.”
After ten minutes, Elaine also wore the red and white suit and appeared in front of Sally.
“Damn! Elaine, how come you look so good in this suit? Your skin looks so fair and your figure is emphasized and your breasts look bigger!”
Elaine’s face turned red and slapped away Sally’s hand which was pointing at her breasts and said, “Stop it, don’t tease me! This suit is rather uncomfortable. Is the skirt too short? See, it barely covered my backside.”
“It’s okay, just relax. Our job doesn’t require us to interact with the customers. We are fine even if we wore bikinis, haha.” Elaine rolled her eyes as Sally continued to chuckle.
Okay, since she was there, she might as well perform a good job. She was the coordinator for the eastern area… this job should be much better than having to drink with the customers.
Elaine got into her role rather quickly. She directed the staff with the two-way radio and ran about ensuring that everything was well arranged. She was free of wild thoughts when she became busy with her work.
What Bad-bear Smith, what Marina, what Juliana, all of them can piss off.
But sometimes, things happen most unexpectedly.
…
Elaine was directing a young lady to room 8813 to serve some wine and turned to see Emmett holding onto Marina as they walked into Y Nightclub.
In that instance, in that gaze, in that second, it knocked out Elaine.
“Ah!”
Elaine took a deep breath and her entire body tensed up. She was stupefied and didn’t even have the strength to hide. She just stood in place with her eyes wide open looking at Emmett and Marina walk in.
He remained so handsome. He wore an off-white casual attire making him look ever so dashing. Elaine secretly choked and deepened her breathing. Yes, his eyes were still so mesmerizing. His lips were soft and tender. Anyone who looked at him will be smitten by his natural good looks.
But Elaine knew that when he smiles wryly, those eyes and lips would suck any woman towards him like a vortex.
The only question was… Would he smile that way to this Marina?
Elaine unconsciously grabbed her left chest with her hand as her little heart pound furiously. Damn it, Elaine, you dumb pig. Haven’t you thought it through? Why have you lost control of your feelings again when you saw Bad-bear Smith? Get a grip on yourself!
Elaine closed her eyes, took a deep breath, turned, and ran away.
As Emmett stepped into the nightclub, he immediately sensed a suppressive atmosphere, something appeared to be amiss…
It made him glance around coldly, he noticed a familiar petite figure which caused his blood to curdle! It was Elaine! Damn it. Was she here to work at such a place again? Although it was just a glance, Elaine’s image had already been seared into his memory.
What was she wearing? She looked like a prostitute standing along the streets… That skirt was so short! Revealing those two snow-white legs…
Damn it! He was furious!
…
He clenched his fists unconsciously and his expression darkened immediately. Marina was in his embrace and when his arms tightened, she felt as if her waist would break at any moment.
“Ouch, ouch…” Marina remarked and looked at Emmett.
What happened to him? Why was his expression so ominous? He looked like he was about to kill someone. His lips were pursed tightly and his lower jaw firmly clenched. His eyes were cold, focused, and terrifying.
Although she saw him every day, they appeared in public to be filmed and photographed symbolically and she remained unfamiliar with his personality.
He was like a riddle.
If you didn’t encounter him when he was happy, you’ll never see his radiant smile. He was always cold and distant. Of course, he also rarely displayed his fury. He was like a calm water surface, always maintaining an emotionless expression. One could never guess what he was thinking and feeling. Emmett liked to suppress his emotions and never revealed his feelings.
But now…
Why did he lose control? If one looked in detail, even his eyebrows revealed his displeasure. Did he spot an enemy?
Marina looked in the direction of Emmett’s gaze… A pink image flashed by quickly.
“Emmett…” She softly called out to him.
“Shut up!” Emmett didn’t even look at her and stared in that direction.
Marina scoffed bitterly, “Someone is filming us.”
He had been displaying in public that he was very loving and affectionate towards her.
“Okay.”
Emmett came to his senses and heaved a deep sigh as if his lungs were filled with foul air.
He then forced a smile, leaned towards Marina’s ears and whispered, “Smile shyly at me, and playfully hit me once.”
