Chapter 16 My Boyfriend Is Waiting For Me
Levi raised his eyebrow and smiled.
Unlike Jared, his eyes were pretty sharp.
He could see the silver needle in between her fingers clearly.
Interesting.
“…Levi, are you smiling?” Jared looked at him in surprise.
In Jared’s view, Levi was a man who never smiled and always looked cold and indifferent. Even though he smiled, it was a fake smile that didn’t show any real emotion about him. For so many years, this was the first time for Jared to see him smile out of joy.
That was sensational.
Levi glanced at him calmly, “You made a mistake, forget it.”
Jared said nothing but stared at him for a while, and found he was as emotionless as he used to be.
Maybe the smile was his hallucination? Maybe he’s right?
…
“…Sister?” Rita looked at Ruby dully. When she realized she could talk again, she held her throat immediately.
She felt her head was in a mess, and her body was scorching. That was terrible.
What did Ruby do to her!
Why couldn’t she move or speak just now!
“Firstly, I’m the only child of my mom, so honestly, I don’t have any sister. Secondly, it’s better to be self-aware, especially for an idiot. Don’t get cocky before you could come up with some good ideas,” Ruby patted her back and talked to her smilingly.
They were talking to each other by their ears, which looked like this pair of sisters were having an intimate conversation. But only Rita knew how cruel her words were.
“Take your time. I’m going home,” Ruby let go of her and walked away.
“Wait, you can’t just come and go so easily like everyone in the room is nothing to you. If you want to go, you need to drink the wine first.”
Before Ruby could walk to the door, Mr. Sean got in her way and stopped her. She raised her head and stared at the man in front of her, “She just drank it for me.”
He was looking at Ruby in a lustful way, which only made her feel disgusting, “You have to drink it by yourself.”
Then, he took a step towards her.
“Stop approaching me,” she said in a calm tone.
But everyone in the room started to laugh all of a sudden, and he took another big step toward her on purpose.
She reached out her hand to push him away without thinking, but he grabbed her arm before she could touch him.
He was staring at her in obsession and rubbed her arm with his hand.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Ruby looked at him coldly and gave out all her strength.
Without realizing what was happening, Mr. Sean only felt an acute pain in his stomach and saw everything around him was moving back quickly.
Then, he hit the ground heavily and lost consciousness.
The whole bar was completely silent for a while.
The guests on the seat didn’t make any sound. They just looked at Ruby in astonishment and forgot to do what they should do.
“I told you to stop, but you didn’t listen,” she said regretfully and patted the dust off her hands. After finishing her words, she walked away as nothing happened.
“…”
What was going on! A cute girl just went ballistic?
“Mr. Sean…Mr. Sean…” Someone finally figured it out and ran to check Mr. Sean.
The bar returned to be noisy and chaotic once again.
On the second floor, Jared was still replaying the whole thing in his mind, while Levi had disappeared.
Outside the bar, the rain was stopped not long ago. Ruby was breathing the humid air and stepping on wet ground with a patter of sound.
Before she could get away from it, some gangsters were approached and blocked her way.
“Hey, what a pretty chick! Now that you are alone, why don’t come with me and have some fun?”
Since this was not the posh part of town and Ruby was having a plain outfit, they thought she was just an ordinary girl and wasn’t afraid of her at all.
While she was already annoyed by all these things, and the only thought in her mind was to stop pretending innocent and deal with these punks quickly without being noticed by somebody else. But soon, she felt someone was watching her.
She looked in the direction out of the corner of her eye and saw a silhouette leaning on the telegraph pole.
He looked familiar.
She took another look but was confused.
What was he doing here?
Just looking on?
When she realized he was looking on, she lowered her head and relaxed her muscles, withdrawing the hand she just reached out. And then she put on a weak and poor look, saying in a trembling voice, “My…My boyfriend is waiting for me there.”
