Chapter 41
Chris’ point of view
I opened my eyes, which were still quite dazed, and found the handsome face close by.
“Your mouth is watering.” He looked at me and said.
I was so startled that I jumped up from his shoulder and “touched” my mouth. “No, I did not.”
Eland chuckled. “I lied to you.”
How did this man change? But this is the first time I have seen Eland’s evil smile.
It’s over. I am going to fall in love with him again.
“Chris, you are awake. You’ll be at the bar soon.”
I followed them to the bar. I rarely come to a place like this, and the whole person is a little uncomfortable.
Sunny goes backstage to warm up and change while Webster goes to the bathroom.
Eland and I were the only ones left in the place, and my heart was pounding.
“Well…. do you really want to be a star?” I happened to find a topic.
“Stars earn money faster.”
“Are you very short of money?” I guess “confused” that Eland’s family is as secretive as he is.
“Are not you short?”
I am speechless, and I too am short of money. Although I come from the White family, after the decline of the White family, I have lived harder than ordinary people.
It turns out I am not the only one suffering.
I picked up a bottle of beer. “No matter what path you choose, I sincerely hope you will live better and better.”
Today’s Eland seems to have changed a bit compared to the past. I do not know if it’s my imagination. I always feel that Eland is not so cold.
“Chris, I have something to tell you.”
“Huh?” I put down the wine, not knowing what he was going to say.
“This bar is so big, it’s hard to find a bathroom. Hey, did you drink all that?” Webster’s words came abruptly.
Eland’s words were interrupted and I turned to look at him. “What were you about to say to me?”
“Have you found a job yet?”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Well, I found it.” I always get the feeling that’s definitely not what he was going to say.
Webster’s excited voice broke through the subtle atmosphere between Eland and me. “Look, Sunny is coming on stage.”
Sunny waved at us, and Webster seemed to have become a big fan of hers, interacting with her constantly.
“Trainees should be very tough?” I asked.
“Fortunately, the company contracted a total of 30 people. After a month of training, only two people were selected to sign a formal contract.”
“That tough? Is not that devil?” I have never been in the entertainment business and do not know the hard work there.
“Fortunately, I’ll survive no matter what.” He looked at me urgently.
“The training must be very strenuous, you should take care of your health.”
“You are worried about me?” Eland’s eyes flashed.
I rolled my eyes sheepishly. I drank wine today like I was much bolder than I used to be.
Warren and I agreed that we would find an opportunity to separate in six months and that we would not interfere in each other’s personal lives.
Kenneth has completely disappeared from my world since that day. Indeed, I am now only an expendable plaything for him.
“Eland, I have something to tell you. It’s a bit noisy here. Shall we go outside and talk?”
I was a little drunk, somehow I secretly loved him for so many years, no matter what he promises, I should always speak clearly so I will not regret it.
“Good.”
Eland and I left the bar, where it was quiet at the door, in contrast to the noise inside.
I rubbed my small hands together. “This…. Eland.”
“Hmm?”
“As a matter of fact, I have always been very….” I faltered, unable to speak, and my heart leaped wildly. I had never been so nervous when I took the college entrance exam.
Instead of interrupting me, Eland looked at me gently and waited calmly for what I had to say.
“Excuse me.” A cold sound reached my ears.
Hearing this sound, I stopped on the spot as if I had been struck by lightning.
I turned around and saw that Kenneth was just getting out of the car with an expressionless face, accompanied by several cars, and all those who got out were Starlight Glimmer, obviously different from ordinary people.
A charming woman in a low-cut black dress walked right up to Kenneth. “Brother Kenneth, did you miss me?”
The moment I saw Kenneth, my heart went up to my throat. Thinking of what he had done to me in the past, what was I supposed to do if he messed with me again here?
Just as I was sweating and overwhelmed, Kenneth walked straight away from me and Eland. He did not even look at me as if we did not know each other.
“Brother Kenneth, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me.” I watched the woman in black and ran toward Kenneth, tenderly taking his arm and unconsciously interlacing my fingers.
“I hear the grills in this bar look good. It took Mr. Kenneth a long time to find it. I still have to let him enjoy himself.”
“It’s not like you do not know he hates those things. Besides, Mia’s here. Are you crazy to find him a wife?”
“Sue, if he likes Mia, will he accept it long ago and wait until now? I bet he’ll like this girl tonight.”
A line of people walked past me talking and laughing.
Eland did not speak to me for a long time. “What did you want to tell me? What’s always wrong with you?”
I raised my head and panicked. “No, it’s nothing. Webster can not see us there and she should be in a hurry. Let us go first.”
I walked quickly into the bar. I should be glad that Kenneth pretended not to know me, but I was in a bad mood when I thought about what these people had just said.
When I saw them sit down, the man named Mia clinging to his body and rubbing his chest against his arm, my heart was indignant.
Earlier, he had also said to me that he was sincere but also wanted to marry me, fake, were fake, men were great liars.
At that moment Kenneth’s eyes came up to me and I backed away in panic.
“Chris, where have you been?” Sunny had finished singing and returned to her seat.
“Just go out and get some air, Sunny. You sing so well.”
“Of course, but I am not the best we sing here.”
My heart pounded. “Who sings better than you?”
“Teresa, the best singer here, is our figurehead here, a leader who is beautiful and sings well. Many people come especially for her, and there are many fans on the Internet. Hey, she’s the next one to perform.”
Before the man said Kenneth would like this signee, my heart twitched for no reason.
The bar lights instantly dimmed, leaving only a beam of light in the center of the stage where one person stood.
Below the stage, where many audience members were booing, I see the woman in the white dress mopping the floor, a black large wave of long hair hanging down.
The face is only lightly made up, the features are delicate and the temperament graceful and cool.
“Goddess!” The people down there are already cheering.
No wonder the man said Kenneth would like her. This woman is truly beautiful, and her singing is ethereal like the sounds of nature.
I drink furiously at the thought of the man’s eyes following this woman.
I have drunk a few bottles at the time of a song.
