Chapter 140 - 140 140. He was In Trouble
“Ah, I thought this costume was weird,” she grumbled. However, a moment later, she immediately realized that she had made a mistake. Wasn’t she in disguise?
Clara, who was furious, ruffled her hair. It was then that she realized she was wearing a strange light pink wig and in annoyance, she slammed it on the ground.
Her head was still throbbing from a shot of wine she had swallowed. Clara realized that she was much easier to get drunk than normal people. Next time she had to be more careful not to drink alcohol.
Her body was still limp. Her head was spinning badly. She knew that she had to take shelter to save people from lifting her unconscious not-so-light body. She was looking for a seat to rest her tired legs.
While walking, she reflected on the many misfortunes she had gotten into tonight. Was it a punishment from God? The night she tried to lie to Linda. She thought that kind of thing only existed in fairy tales. Next time, she would rethink when she wanted to lie to her mom.
Shortly after, Clara heard two people coming, they were arguing about something. The conversation was supposed to be a secret. However, eavesdropping was something so amusing. Clara couldn’t resist the temptation.
“I told you, I want Samuel tonight. But where is he? said a girl’s voice with annoyance. “Look, I’ve even dyed my hair blonde. I even do some work out to look sexier. Do you intend to disappoint me again?”
Clara recognized the voice as Rosie’s. She didn’t expect Rosie, who wasn’t attractive before, to go on all kinds of diets and dyed her hair for a man.
.....
“I even forced my parents to invite him as a special pianist to open my birthday party. Otherwise, how could Samuel come to my party?” Rosie yelled again. “And you can’t even play your role properly.”
“Sorry, my dear cousin, don’t scold me. I’ve given him the aphrodisiac. I just lost track of that hot pianist,” replied the man who sounded begging Rosie not to be angry.
Clara just winced at the ridiculous conversation. Apparently, she wasn’t the only one who wanted to lose her virginity tonight. Rosie, who was known as a virgin at the age of twenty, also wanted to end her virginity immediately. Poor her, the man she wanted was missing.
“Who told you to cheat,” Clara muttered softly, sneering at the host’s behavior. For her, getting a man using that dirty method was inappropriate.
Unfortunately, Clara’s voice was heard by the two people. They were startled.
“Who is there?” shouted Rosie. She was afraid of his devious plan being leaked.
Rosie ordered her cousin like a dog to chase the sassy eavesdropper. Clara immediately ran so as not to be caught. She threw a stone in the opposite direction as a feint.
Luckily, Rosie’s cousin was looking for Clara in the opposite direction. Clara then slowed her steps when she was close to where the jade-eyed man was. Unfortunately, what she was witnessing was not a good thing.
The situation was too dangerous. The jade-eyed man was held at gunpoint, making Clara feel so scared. No matter how strong the jade-eyed man was, he would have a hard time-fighting people who use a gun.
Then, an idea flashed through Clara’s mind. She turned on the police siren from her phone.
The delinquents panicked. “Damn it! Who called the police?” shouted one of them. He then ordered all his friends to run. They all then ran headlong.
When everyone had fled, Clara came out of the hiding place to approach the jade-eyed man who was a hero to her. She picked up the man’s tux jacket and brushed the dirt off it.
“Are you okay?” Clara asked the man who looked bent over in pain. His breath was short. He seemed very tormented. Sweat was trickling down his neck and face.
“Are you hurt?” Clara asked again. She looked increasingly anxious.
Unfortunately, there was no answer from the man. “Hey, are you bleeding?” asked Clara, trying to check the man’s body for fear of wounds.
“Get out of here,” the man whispered, at last, making Clara speechless. She could feel his hot breath brushing against her bare back. “It seems someone poisoned my drink.”
Clara was stunned for a moment. She then dared to lift her face to see the condition of her savior. How shocked Clara was when she found the man’s face turned red.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked Clara. “Let’s go to my family’s hospital. The facility is good.”
The man had almost lost control. He hit himself in the face until it bled.
“Hey, don’t be like that! The taxi is coming. Let’s get in!” Clara tugged at the man’s arm. They quickly got into the taxi.
Along the way, the man was silent and looked away. While Clara was confused because she couldn’t help anything. Because the man’s sweat kept flowing, Clara then took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Accidentally, Clara’s breast touched the man’s arm, making the man turn his head, with his wild and darkened eyes.
“Get off! I can go to the hospital myself!” asked the man roughly.
“No! You help me, I have to help you too,” Clara stubbornly refused.
“You don’t know what you’re getting into,” the man grumbled. He then whispered something in Clara’s ear, “Someone gave me an aphrodisiac. I may eat you if you don’t get off now.”
Clara’s eyes widened. So, that’s the problem? Why didn’t she realize it sooner?
Clara gulped, her face confused and scared. Her hands clenched against her chest, squeezing a handkerchief that was now wet with sweat.
Not long after, the jade-eyed man was startled by Clara’s order to the taxi driver, “Stop at the hotel over there!”
