“Go, even if you ignore us for a couple more years, we will still be here dummy.” hearing such assurance from Augustine broke her barriers which quickly caused her tears to fall one after the other. Holding Augustine’s shirt with her one hand and the other covering her red and tear-streaked face, crying like a young child in front of the people who filled the empty feeling she had since her family died. If she can’t face her friends, what more to the only living blood relative she had, her grandfather whom she always disappointed.
Feeling the slight tug and an arm embracing her tightly as if protecting her from the world, the comfortable feeling it gave her made her cry even harder. Are these the people she disposed of for a guy who knows nothing about her worth? How stupid was she?
Leerion shook his head in disappointment while Travis and the others hated Ji Xuan even more. They thought that they should have made a move before. But it was in vain since everything is in the past now.
After she calmed down a little, Allana sat on the couch and started telling them all the things she experienced, but of course, she did not tell them what triggered her to leave him, in which they did not pry anymore, they knew that she was not ready to tell yet.
The whole time that she was crying and whining, her friends just listened to her and chimed whenever it's possible not to forget to curse and despise Ji Xuan every single second that passed. Travis and Leerion would just stay silent but they were already ready to kill Ji Xuan.
Augustine wiped her now swollen eyes and handed her a glass of cold water before going back to typing a series of words on his laptop. This act repeated as if a cycle and the others could only shake their head, a naive girl and an uptight man, ahh Augustine had it coming. They thought as they silently prayed for his pitiful heart.
…
Midnight passed and Augustine and Leerion told them to stop drinking and go home in which they immediately obeyed. Leerion assisted Travis who had drunk quite a lot, while Jordi Norris, Traci’s younger cousin. Took care of his girlfriend who was long passed out on the chair with swollen eyes after listening to Allana, while Maisie is in the comfort room with Connor Tamzin who likes the woman a lot but was always rejected. While Traci was sober enough to call a chauffeur to drive her home. Elteen could still walk so he did not need anyone’s help however he kept on glancing at Traci who was slightly drunk.
He was about to head to her side when she got a call and immediately jumped up to answer it. She playfully answered the call and sounded gentle, then a few minutes later, a man clad in a grey wool coat arrived. He looked at her helplessly and carried her like a bride.
“Hi! Hihihi” Traci giggled like a child before wrapping her hands around his neck, the man sighed and carried her.
“This drunkard” he uttered. No one said anything since Traci knew him. He nodded his head at them except when he looked over to Elteen, his eyes glinted as if he was challenging him.
Elteen wanted to say something but held himself up before he scoffed and hopped on his car. His driver immediately left and they could only shake their heads.
Rupert decided to stay at the bar and sleep at his office so they didn’t have to worry about him.
