I waited for him to pick me up.
The passers-by secretly glanced at me, who was dressed too delicately.
After waiting for a long time, I couldn't get in touch with him on WhatsApp.
I had better take a taxi myself.
When I arrived at the venue of the dinner party and followed the staff in, it had already begun.
The banquet was very lively. Everyone gathered in threes and fives and chatted happily.
I didn't know what to do.
I couldn't find Eason, nor did I know anyone.
I could only sit in a corner.
Then I saw Eason walking over slowly with Melody’s arm in his.
As soon as he arrived, he became the focus of the banquet.
The two of them went around socializing.
I looked at Melody, who tacitly handed the wine to Eason, and watched her whisper to him. They looked at each other and smiled.
My first reaction was not to get angry.
On the contrary, the word ‘comparable’ suddenly appeared in my mind.
Eason and Melody finally came close to me.
I could see them, but they didn't notice me in the corner.
"Ah, this must be Mrs. Nash. No wonder Mr. Nash is so young and promising. He has such a beautiful wife."
No one knew who said this, but the venue became a little quiet.
Everyone in the company knew Melody was Eason's secretary.
But everyone knew that he had a girlfriend of seven years.
The unintentional words made all their colleagues want to hear the follow-up.
Melody covered her mouth and giggled while getting closer to Eason.
"Mr. Adams, this is Miss Meyer, my secretary. She has connected with you before."
Without a trace, Eason changed the topic.
But he did not refuse Melody to stick to him.
The two of them held hands and walked away.
Next to them, there was an uproar from the company.
I felt awkward and lowered my head to look for my phone.
I took out my phone and found that Eason had just replied to me.
[I just went to an emergency meeting with Melody. I was delayed.]
[Are you here?]
[Where are you? Why didn't you reply?]
[Forget it. You don't have to come if you're not here.]
I raised up my head and looked at their backs. It was strange that I wasn't angry.
I just found myself a little funny.
[Are you free? Come out for a drink.]
Bella's unique message came to me.
I agreed.
At this moment, I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Oh, it's uneasy for Eason's girlfriend doesn't have a curfew. You actually promised to come out for a drink at night."
As soon as we met, I was teased by Bella.
I didn't answer her but took the glass of wine she handed me and drank it in one gulp.
"What's wrong with you? You came to the bar as soon as you got married?"
Bella was already a little unconscious. She held me and said with a smile,
"I'm not you. What's wrong with getting married? I can drink whenever I want, and I can pick up handsome guys whenever I want..."
Although I knew that she was bragging, I envied her for no reason.
"Well, hurry up and call that stupid Eason to pick you up. I can't stop you if you get drunk."
I lowered my head and looked at the empty glass.
"He's busy tonight. I'll go back by myself later."
Bella, who was already tipsy, did not reply.
She stared at me for a while and suddenly said,
"I still like your old style of dressing."
I looked down at my formal dress, which was indeed out of place in the bar.
"Isn't it good-looking?"
Bella leaned on me and said, "Yvonne, back then, we were the punks of the Academy of Art."
"Look at you now. From head to toe, you're not artistic at all."
"You're just a pretty girl without a soul!"
Looking at my exquisite curly hair, well-tailored skirt, custom-made high heels, matching jewelry, and meticulous makeup, I hammered Bella.
"Come on, is it that exaggerated? This is the makeup of a noble lady that has been popular recently."
Bella laughed out loud.
"Lady? You look like a resentful woman now!"
