Chapter 96 Strangers
On the other hand, Glenn was not happy to see that Rita and Neil left together. But he had no other choice. After all, he was the later one.
In the evening, Glenn went to the bar with other wealthy men, asking them to go out and have fun, but only himself knew that he didn't want to stay quiet. Once you calmed down, he would think of the scene of Rita and Neil, and would feel heartbroken.
It was better him to release his emotion than to make himself sad.
On the dance floor, Glenn was dancing with others.
Glenn hadn't gone out to play in recent days, nor had he flirted with other women. They all thought that he had corrected his behaviors
It's true that abstinent people always lose control after sleeping for too long.
Although Glenn was dancing with other people, Rita's figure was always in his mind. He was getting more and more agitated, so he went back to his seat and drank alone.
Glenn lazily leaned against the back of the sofa. He didn't look like an elite anymore, and the woman beside him almost climbed up to him, but he didn't push her away.
"You are in high spirits today. Are you going to have fun?" Said a man who came with her. His eyes were also filled with desire.
"Don't be so restrained. Otherwise, it will make no sense." Then he put his arm around her and touched her face, with unclear movement. "Right?"
"Yes." The woman answered, but a piece of disgust flashed through Glenn's eyes. He felt disgusted to touch such a woman.
Although Glenn didn't like her, he didn't push her away and let her lean against him.
They chatted while drinking. The only topic they talked about where did they hang out, when did they hit on a beautiful woman. Glenn sipped the wine one after another, quietly listening and not getting involved in their conversation.
It was almost midnight when the party was over. All other people left there with their friends. On the other hand, Glenn was sitting there quietly. He had drunk a lot and felt a little dizzy, but he didn't get drunk and unconscious.
Glenn had worked in the night club for many years and had successfully drunk a lot. He felt a little uncomfortable tonight
"Do you like me?" He looked at the woman beside him and asked.
"Of course I do."
"What do you like about me?"
"Well, uh..."
Glenn stood up, threw a wad of money on the table and left. He gave a sardonic smile and thought to himself, 'women in this kind of place are not sincere at all. They just play according to circumstances. The only thing they like is money.'
When he walked out of the bar, he shivered and felt a little dizzy. He shook her head, trying to sober himself up. After thinking for a while, he hailed a taxi and told the driver the address.
Standing at the door of Rita's house, Glenn was a little absent-minded. He didn't know why he wanted to come here. Although he wanted to have a try, he still knocked at the door. Several minutes later, there was no response.
'Did she fall asleep? Or she didn't want to see me? Oh, right. Her fiancé has come back. Why does she want to pester me?'
He turned around and went downstairs. When he was going to walk out the building, he saw Rita and Neil.
They were kissing, with one hand holding Rita's face and the other hand putting on her waist. Without any resistance, she closed her eyes and gently patted on her daughter's shoulder.
The street lights sent out dim lights, shining on Rita's face. Glenn could see Rita's slightly trembling eyelashes clearly.
Glenn clenched his fists as he saw this. There was no light in the corridor, so they didn't notice that anyone else was there.
It took a long time for Neil to let go of Rita and smiled at her. And Rita was shy. She said good night to him and turned around, preparing to go upstairs.
All of a sudden, the emergency light in the corridor was turned on. It was dark for a long time, so Glenn wasn't used to the sudden light.
Rita stiffened when she saw Glenn. She wondered why he was here. Did he see what happened?
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Rita didn't move, Neil asked with concern.
"Oh, nothing." Although she was talking to Neil, she hadn't taken her eyes off Glenn.
Noticing the look in Rita's eyes was weird, Neil wondered who that man was.
"Is he someone you know?"
"No, this is also the first time that I have seen him. You should go back now. I'm going upstairs. Have a good rest. Good night. "
"Good night."
Rita didn't turn back to go upstairs until she saw Neil drive away. When she passed by Glenn, her heart beat faster.
'Don't know me?' Hearing Rita's words, Glenn felt his heart miss a beat. 'Am I just a stranger to her?'
Looking at Rita's back, Glenn even forgot to go after her and ask her what she meant. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Rita pressed the button and leaned her head against the wall. She waited for the elevator door to close slowly. She didn't know why she felt a sense of guilt when she saw Glenn just now.
Standing there in the chilly wind for a while, Glenn wondered why he wanted to come here suddenly.
Rita stood on the balcony, watching Glenn disappearing in the night.
Both of their hearts were covered with dust, and they could not see each other clearly.
Since then, they hadn't contacted for a long time.
As Wilson's engagement ceremony would arrive soon, Joanna had been busying with her work. She needed to make phone calls to confirm the guests who are invited and to make sure everything for the engagement ceremony was prepared. Glenn had asked a long leave and no one knew when he would come back, so Joanna was extremely busy. In the past, Joanna would get off work on time, but now she always worked late. Sometimes, she was still in the company at ten o'clock.
It was not the first time that Joanna had complained to Wilson, but every time he always put on a face of provocation. "How can you be my assistant if you can't even do such a little thing well?"
"……" As a result, she had no choice but to swallow it.
If she had known that, she would not have worked as his assistant. She was so tired now.
