His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1231 Gamora's Invitation

"Hello, Cassie. What are you up to now?"

The female voice on the other end of the line belonged to Gamora Jiang, Cassie's college classmate.

"Oh, Gamora, it's you! It's been a while. I'm here at home. So, how are you, and what made you think

of me today? Is there something you want to say to me?" Cassie rattled off.

"I just wanted to say that I missed you so much. So, you're at home. You must be free then. Would you

like to come out and join us? Let's have some fun!" Gamora Jiang replied. She was happy to hear her

friend's voice and excited to invite her over.

But Cassie was hesitant. After a while, she asked curiously, "Have what kind of fun? Where are you

now?"

There was laughter in Gamora Jiang's voice as she said, "You'll know once you agree to join us. Come

on! Let me send you the location. You must come!" Her friend was persistent, and Cassie felt tempted.

But before she could ask any more questions, she heard Gamora Jiang hang up.

The abrupt end to their conversation made Cassie more curious. In answer, her phone vibrated, and a

WeChat message flashed on the screen.

She opened the message, which indicated Gamora Jiang's location. Her friend was in Seven Nights.

The name was familiar to Cassie. Seven Nights was a famous Karaoke bar in the city. During their

college days, Cassie used to have Karaoke nights with her classmates regularly. But she had only

been to Seven Nights once, although that visit left her with a lasting impression. With all its equipment

and decorations high-end, everything offered in the place was not cheap. So, she never had another

chance to go back to the place.

"When did Gamora start going to bars like that, spending that much money?" Cassie asked herself.

'Ah, I remember someone said she was dating a rich man. That must be why she's able to spend that

much money, ' Cassie thought.

Thinking about Gamora Jiang's invitation, she suddenly realized something. She was single now, and it

wouldn't be appropriate for her to go there alone.

While Cassie was deciding whether to go or not, her phone vibrated again.

There was another message from Gamora Jiang. This time, it was a short video showing how she was

having a good time at the bar.

The place was packed. There were happy boys and girls, wearing make-up and colorful clothes,

singing and dancing crazily.

As she continued to watch the video, the angle of the shot shifted, and the next scene that came

onscreen had Cassie dropping her mouth open. On a large table, bottles of wine were piled high,

forming a pyramid.

As soon as Cassie caught sight of a figure passing by on the screen, her eyes froze, and her pupils

dilated.

"Hold on... That figure. I'd recognize that figure anywhere! It's Nick. It must be him!"

She couldn't believe her eyes. At first, she had doubts and thought it was only an illusion. Perhaps, she

thought it was him because she missed the guy so much recently. To make sure, Cassie played back

the video and focused on the frames when the figure started to show up.

"I'm right! It's him! It is Nick!" Cassie murmured excitedly.

Though she based her identification on just a silhouette, the woman strongly believed it was Nick. It

had to be him!

Acting on impulse, Cassie jumped to her feet and quickly walked to her closet. She spent a very long

time finding the right outfit to wear. At last, she finally chose a brand-new suit she hadn't worn before.

But it was her favorite, and Cassie remembered buying it for a date.

Holding the suit in front of her, she imagined herself wearing it, going to the bar, and showing up in front

of Nick. A smile crossed her lips.

'Nick, wherever you are, I will always find you! Wait for me. I'll be there soon, ' Cassie thought to

herself.

Ten minutes later, Cassie was wearing a suit with a tight pink skirt. Before heading out, she checked

herself in front of the mirror for the last time.

It was already midnight.

In Seven Nights with its flashing neon lights, however, the party was only starting. Boys and girls

continued flocking inside the busy and crazy bar. They were all looking for fun tonight.

Inside a noisy box, dozens of people gathered around and enjoyed themselves with drinks, talks, and

some food. Some were shooting dice, some were singing aloud, and still, others were dancing to the

rhythm of loud pop music.

"Has your college classmate arrived?" a man with curly hair asked. He tilted his head towards the

woman seated beside him. She was delicately made up. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She tried to mask her frown with a smile as she looked into the man's eyes. Gamora Jiang answered,

"Don't worry, Quill. She's on her way, So, take it easy."

"Gamora, call her and tell her to hurry up! I promised to introduce her to Shawn, so she has to come

tonight!" Quill demanded. He had raised his eyebrows in impatience. The man was not used to being

kept waiting.

His behavior, however, made Gamora Jiang jealous. Tonight was supposed to be her night, where she

was to take center stage. But her boyfriend seemed to care more about another woman than her. What

pissed her off most was the fact that the woman was her college friend!

'It's all my fault. If I didn't show Cassie's picture on my phone to Quill, he wouldn't be interested in her.

Why? Oh, why did I show him that picture? Why does she have to have such a seductive face? Since

our college days, she's been courted by many boys because of her looks, ' she thought bitterly.

Now, even Gamora Jiang's boyfriend was attracted to her, or so she thought. But it was Shawn, Quill's

partner at work, who was utterly captivated by Cassie as soon as he saw the photo that was resent to

his phone. He then asked Quill to help him set up a meeting with Cassie. To please her boyfriend,

Gamora Jiang agreed to do Quill a favor.

But with Cassie taking so long to arrive, Gamora Jiang was already cursing her friend silently. 'What the

hell is she doing that's taking her so long to get here?'

At the entrance of Seven Nights, Cassie stood waiting at the gate. She had arrived a long time ago.

After college, she hadn't gone to any bar. The woman didn't think bars were fun places. If it weren't for

Nick, she wouldn't even be here tonight. Cassie still hadn't made up her mind whether to go inside the

place or to only wait for Nick outside. And since it was Nick that brought her down here, she had

completely forgotten about Gamora Jiang at this point.

But after waiting for a long time, Cassie still hadn't seen any sign of Nick. She was already growing

anxious. Cassie admitted she was eager to find the man, and it was why she came tonight. Finally, she

decided to go inside. Before entering, Cassie recalled every detail about the person she had seen in

the video sent by Gamora Jiang earlier. From her perspective, Cassie presumed Gamora Jiang must

have shot the video while in her box. It was unlikely for Nick to have been in the same box with Gamora

Jiang because as far as Cassie was concerned, the two didn't know each other. Most likely, Nick had

happened to pass by Gamora Jiang's box door as she had been recording the video, so she had ended

up catching his back on the camera while filming the place.

'That's it! I'll likely find Nick somewhere near Gamora's box. That's how he passed by her box, ' she

thought.

The idea made Cassie excited at the prospect of finding Nick soon. She hurried towards Gamora

Jiang's box.

Finally, she reached Gamora Jiang's box. Just as she was about to pull the door open, Cassie heard

someone inside mention her name. And she didn't sound like Gamora Jiang.

Inhaling deeply, Cassie decided to go inside and greet Gamora Jiang first, before asking for help to find

Nick.

The instant Cassie opened the door, Gamora Jiang caught sight of her. "Hi, Cassie! You finally got

here," Gamora Jiang greeted her excitedly. She cheered up at once, as she spotted her college friend

standing on the doorway. She quickly got to her feet and walked to greet Cassie. With her grip on

Cassie's arm, Gamora Jiang tried to drag Cassie into their box.

"Gamora, I came here to..."

Before she could even finish her words, Gamora Jiang had plunked her down into a seat.

Quickly, she made introductions. "Quill, this is Cassie."

She was unapologetic for the interruption, and turned to look at Cassie again before saying, "This is my

boyfriend, Quill."

"Since Cassie got here so late, we have to follow rules. It says that we should fine her with a drink,

right?" Quill grinned. His quip made Cassie uneasy.

Seated to his left was another man, who kept eyeing Cassie without blinking.

'This girl is so hot. And she's certainly worth the long wait, ' the guy thought to himself.

The man who kept glancing at Cassie was Shawn. Since he first saw her in the photo, he had been

impressed and had been looking forward to meeting her in person. Thanks to Quill, he was finally

seeing the woman in front of him.

Quill and Shawn were both from well-off families, and they had dated many pretty women. However, it

was rare for them to come across a woman like Cassie, who was beautiful and innocent. And not only

was Cassie good-looking, she was also a nurse. Being tempted by someone because of their uniform

is not uncommon among men. Shawn was already having fantasies of seeing Cassie in her nurse's

uniform, then sleeping with himself. It was a breathtaking vision!

He took a deep breath to calm himself down. Shawn was now thinking of a way to make Cassie stay

with him tonight. Quill tried to cooperate with his friend and attempted to take Cassie down with drinks.

Cassie helplessly looked at Gamora Jiang. It was not that she didn't drink alcohol, but she disliked

being forced to drink. But sober as she was, Cassie wasn't even aware that she was on her way to

being snared by Shawn, and that it was a college classmate who set her up!
