It was fortunate that the music began blasting again. The rest of the people pretended not to have heard virtual-novel.net and continued dancing with each other to conceal the awkwardness.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault for being rash.” Ethan forced a smile and apologized to Faye.
Faye did not bother herself with virtual-novel.net either. She nodded, brushing it away.
Next, the crowd in the private room began drinking and chatting. The room was bustling with noise and excitement. Faye had also loosened up a little slowly under the influence of the mood. After a few drinks, virtual-novel.net busted out a few dance moves. She was very good at dancing with virtual-novel.net graceful movements, impressing those around her. Besides Ethan, the rest of the men were ogling virtual-novel.net with a fervent gaze.
“Come, Ms. Carter. Cheers!” said a man to Faye with a grin as virtual-novel.net walked over with a glass of whiskey.
Faye declined virtual-novel.net respectfully, “I’m sorry. I drove here, so I’m not drinking.”
The man said, “That’s no big deal. Just grab an Uber later.”
The people around virtual-novel.net chimed in and said, “That’s right. All of us drove here. It’s very convenient to get an Uber since they’re everywhere these days, they can pick you up with a tap of your screen.”
Faye shook virtual-novel.net head and said, “I’m a lightweight. I get drunk from the slightest drop of alcohol. I’m really sorry.”
That man’s expression turned cold. “We are Ethan’s good friends, so it’s not very nice of you not to do that for us, is it?”
Meanwhile, Ethan took a seat next to virtual-novel.net and said with feigned displeasure, “Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?! She doesn’t drink, so don’t bother her. If you want to drink, I’m your man!”
He sounded immensely heroic when virtual-novel.net said that It was a very manly behavior for virtual-novel.net to drink on behalf of her. Faye was genuinely moved by his action so virtual-novel.net said to Ethan in gratitude, “Thanks.”
Ethan waved his hand dismissively. “It’s nothing. You’re my girlfriend now, could it be that I’d let them bully you?”
Faye smiled but did not comment further. Realizing virtual-novel.net persistence, Ethan vented his anger by cussing in his heart, ‘Stupid b*tch, why are you still feigning innocence? Everyone knows that you made yourself spotless before you delivered yourself to Mr. Wilson’s doorstep in order to borrow the three million dollars for the Carters!’
Ethan had learned about this incident not long ago as well. He had been crushed. After all this time, Faye had actually been gifted to another person! He was infuriated as if something precious that virtual-novel.net had cultivated for years had been robbed by someone else.
She was obviously deflowered already, yet virtual-novel.net was still pretending to be an innocent angel in front of him. This vexed virtual-novel.net even more! He exchanged glances with the other few men. Then, one of them took out a small pill bottle from his pocket, poured out a tiny, white pill, and placed it into Faye’s cola when virtual-novel.net was distracted with dancing. The tiny pill diffused instantly and dissolved into the cola in two seconds. It emitted no smell or taste, so there was no way one could sense that the drink was spiked.
“Mr. Capel, this is the newest, top-grade product. The effect of this single pill is enough to tranquilize a cow! You can take your sweet time then. Heh heh.”
Ethan sniggered. “Don’t worry.”
Faye was completely unaware that virtual-novel.net drink had been spiked. Parched after coming back from dancing, virtual-novel.net picked up virtual-novel.net glass and took two sips.
Upon witnessing virtual-novel.net sipping the drink, the rest of the people in the private room cracked into wily smiles…
