Chapter 145 After breaking and entering
That lobby manager immediately nodded and led Asher inside, showing him to a good private room while going to order the waiter to serve Asher’s wine.
Drinking is one of the most profitable businesses in the nightclub, of course, the second most profitable is a kind of hidden industry, he naturally did not forget to arrange for Asher, the lobby manager personally picked a few new girls to send over.
This is the kind of fresh stuff that most successful people like because they just like to figure out a long-forgotten purity.
Two girls entered the room where Asher was carrying a tray, they were dressed differently, going for two completely different styles, one in an innocent student outfit, the other in a smoky rocker look that was very popular at the moment.
Asher collapsed onto his back on the couch and didn’t look at whoever entered the room, just reached out, “Give me that.”
The smoky dressed girls opened a bottle of wine expertly and handed it to Asher, they had all been trained before and were very good at serving and opening drinks and how to get money out of their customers pockets.
Asher took the bottle and didn’t use a glass, he just gulped it down into the mouth of the bottle, with a stance that didn’t look like he was drinking, but rather a little more urgent than drinking plain water.
The two girls looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with this strange customer, they had seen people who just simply came to get drunk, but they had never seen someone who drank as much as Asher, it was like a desperate drink.
A girl went up to gently remove the bottle from Asher’s hand, but immediately shivered at the cold look Asher gave him and returned the bottle to him as Asher said, “Nosy, get out.”
When the two girls didn’t move, Asher got impatient and fished his money clip out of his pocket and threw it at them, drinking, “Take it yourself and get out when you’re done.”
Seeing that the customer was really angry, those two girls stood up in a hurry, fumbled to take out from their money clips the share that the manager had designated them to do, and then darted out like rabbits.
Asher was indifferent to the scenario as he casually grabbed a bottle of wine from the table and proceeded to pour it again, his sanity fading as the liquor dwindled, Asher curled his lips in satisfaction and sped up the pace of his drinking.
It’s good to be drunk, to be drunk so you don’t remember the sadness anymore and you don’t have to face the irrevocable reality.
“Mia ,” Asher rubbed his forehead and said the words to himself, “I love you.”
He whispers and repeats it over and over again, yet the real object of his confession is not here, only the empty bottle of wine to accompany the lonely and sad Asher.
Perhaps it wasn’t just the bottle, either; just after Asher was deliriously drunk, a slender woman pushed open the door to the booth and tiptoed over to Asher.
Her gorgeous face was a malevolent grin, and after checking out that Asher was indeed unconscious, she directed the two large men outside the room to carry Asher to the bed inside the compartment, after which she stripped off her own clothes and got under the covers as well, unrolling and crumpling Asher’s clothes and tossing them aside.
The sleeping Asher vaguely sensed a fragrant female body beside him, and, subconsciously thinking it was Mia, the drunken, unconscious man swept the female body up and held it in his arms.
“Mia .” He muttered one last time and fell into a deep, drowsy sleep, not seeing the grim face of the woman in his arms after his soft call.
Riina’s nails sank into her palms, closing her eyes with a deep, fierce glint in Asher’s arms, her red lips curving in a wicked, dangerous arc as she gradually slowed her breathing.
The next morning, bright sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the upscale mahogany floors and onto the flawless face of a drowsy Asher.
“Hmm.” Asher drifted awake, dragging a hand to his head and shaking it hard in an attempt to clear his head.
“Too much to drink last night.” Asher muttered, opening his eyes and looking around, suddenly seeing a large chunk of the covers rumbling beside him, obviously with someone lying down.
Asher approached suspiciously and lifted the covers with a clatter, a woman curled up still in dreamland, her long dark hair a stark contrast to the snow-white sheets, looking extraordinarily dainty. Only the green silk hid her face, making it impossible to see her face.
Asher slowly approached and gently lifted the woman’s long black hair that covered her face, the delicate features, Asher would recognize them even if they were ashes!
Asher’s head buzzed like a swarm of hornets had fishtailed through his ears and into his brain, he had taken so many hits in the last few days that for a moment he kind of felt like he was going to be overwhelmed.
“Um, you’re awake?” Lena in bed woke up to Asher’s movement and stretched lazily in greeting. The movement was unmistakably seductive.
Asher, however, was unfazed and grabbed the white shirt that was sitting on the bed, dressed it quickly with an ironic look on his face, and then stood fully clothed by the bed, turning coldly to Leena, “What are you doing here? What happened last night?”
Riina lazily stroked her hair, a flirtatious smile curling the corners of her mouth, “What happened? Don’t you remember?”
Asher said nothing with a grim look on his face.
Riina rolled over again, “So let me tell you, you got drunk last night, made a big deal out of me in front of Mia, took a lot of pictures and sent them to Mia, then came back with me in one piece, you should know for yourself what happened,”
Hearing the word Mia, Asher’s emotions clicked, “This is your plot! You deliberately wanted to hurt Mia, didn’t you!”
“Who said I was going to hurt her?” Lena sat up and moved over slowly, wrapped in a quilt, her long fingers brushing Asher’s toned chest, “You’re my boyfriend now, Mia doesn’t have anything to do with you anymore.”
“Get the hell out of here!” Asher was instantly shaken and grabbed Riina’s pale wrist and flung it viciously to the side. Riina didn’t expect Asher to use so much strength and fell onto the bed with a yelp.
“You snake hearted bitch! You orchestrated all of this didn’t you!” Asher snarled. Rarely had the cold-hearted man hated someone as much as he did now.
“Hmph, so what if it’s my conspiracy? Now that the raw rice is cooked, what can you do to me?!” Riina sat up and snarled at Asher.
“Get the hell out of here!” Asher lowered his head and gave his final order with uncontainable anger.
“Who am I to roll, what’s so great about that little bitch Mia? We two are the ones who are right for each other, if it wasn’t for her meddling, how would you have been seduced by her?!” Before Lena could finish her sentence, Asher had already picked up an expensive glass on the table and viciously slammed it on the floor, splashing glass pieces everywhere, Lena’s unfinished words were swallowed hard and replaced by a shriek.
“I never, ever want to see you again.” Asher gave a cold ultimatum, grabbed his jacket that was flung over the back of his chair, and strode out of the room, slamming the door heavily behind him.
Leaving Leena sitting alone on the big bed, that sinister smile curled up at the corners of her mouth again, both hands clenching the snowy white sheets tightly.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Asher wanted to go to the bar again to get drunk and forget about all the annoying stuff, but the thought of Lena’s ugly face at the bar that day made him indignantly and secretly resolve never to go to the bar again. But then Mia’s hurt expression made him want to tear himself apart and rip Riina apart.
After another month of muddling through like this, with no more pestering from Leena, Asher gradually got over the annoyance and life finally got back on track.
An uninvited guest interrupts the peace of this life.
When Asher saw the arrogant woman standing in the doorway, his whole body felt like a thunderstorm and he couldn’t speak.
“What, are you happy to see me silly?” Riina was wearing a flashy, tight dress that showed off her perfect figure nicely.
“What are you doing here?” Asher’s face went down in an ironic tone, his tone practically gritting his teeth, he really hoped he never saw this annoying woman again in his life.
“What, young master, won’t I be allowed to come and see my boyfriend?” Lena said, while extending one foot and stepping gracefully ready to cross into the room.
“Who let you in?” Asher said grimly, the low, repressed tone scaring the hell out of Lena’s periphery.
“Keeping your girlfriend out, is there such a thing?” Lena said, still tongue-tied.
“Who said you’re my girlfriend? Oh, you and I are nothing more than enemies, nothing more than that.” Asher replied with a sneer.
“Oh, have you forgotten that wonderful night a month ago.” Riina was about to speak when she was stiffened back by Asher.
“You shut the hell up! Didn’t I tell you that I don’t want to see you again?!” Asher lowered his head and snarled.
“Don’t want to see me? Don’t you want to see your own flesh and blood?” Lina replied with a sneer as if she had prepared her bottom card.
“What do you mean by that?” Asher snapped his head up and looked at Leena in consternation.
“What do you mean?” Riina asked rhetorically, before reaching out and touching her stomach again with glee, “I, with your flesh and blood.”
“What?!” Asher leaned against the doorframe as if he was a five thunderbolt, his whole body leaning against the doorframe.
“Besides, I’ve already told the major media and our parents about it.” Riina smugly pulled a box of cigarettes from her bag, skillfully pulled one out and lit it with a lighter.
“You’re sinister enough.” Asher squeezed a few words out of his teeth harshly.
“Isn’t it a shocking news for those media and Grandpa Jun has already agreed to reconsider the marriage between us two, so you, just die to Mia! Haha …” Riina couldn’t suppress her laughter.
Asher suddenly grabbed Riina’s snow-white neck and pushed her against the wall, “You vicious woman, I want you to die today!”
