It reminded her of the days when she first fell in love, fantasizing about being in a romantic relationship with him.
Those rough edges that she thought had been smoothed away by the passage of time seemed to reawaken in an instant.
“What’s wrong?”
Efren asked, noticing her hesitation.
His voice instantly brought Georgia back to reality.
“It’s nothing.”
But she was afraid of being seen through by Efren, so she hurriedly stuffed some food into her mouth.
However, she never imagined that the food was so spicy andshocking.
She coughed uncontrollably till her face flushed red.
Efren handed her a bottle of yogurt.
“Drink this to soothe the spiciness.”
Georgia quickly took a few sips and finally got over the sensation.
Efren fished out the dishes and dipped them in water.
Amidst the steaming air, his handsome face looked almost unreal.
“If you can’t handle spice, why did you put in so much? Are you trying to play a trick on me?”
As her trick was exposed, Georgia hung her head in dejection.
“Do you like spicy food so much?”
She asked.
“I can handle it if someone wants me to.”
Efren placed the rinsed dishes into a clean bowl and handed it to her.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Georgia felt a hint of indulgence in his words.
When the dinner was almost finished, Efren said,
“Your trouble has been resolved. Those people won’t dare to spread rumors online anymore.”
Georgia was embarrassed once again.
Although she was aware of Efren’s immense power in Cloudville, she didn’t expect the matter to be resolved so quickly.
It had been less than twenty??our hours since she asked him for help.
And he had sorted everything out perfectly.
Instead of feeling grateful about it, she invited him to eat spicy fondue, hoping to embarrass him.
It made her feel terrible.
Perhaps out of guilt, she asked for a few bottles of beer and opened one for herself.
“Efren, I don’t know how to thank you. I’ll propose a toast to you.”
Then, she gulped down the beer.
“Don’t drink so fast. You’ll get drunk.”
Efren’s deep and pleasant voice made her heart skip a beat.
To suppress this shameful feeling, she ignored Efren’s adviceand finished two bottles in a row. Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t very good, and her behavior when she was drunk was equally bad.
She would either snore loudly or act overly enthusiastic.
Now, she was in the latter state.
Seeing her intoxicated state, Efren offered to take her home, and she didn’t refuse.
After getting in the car, she clung to him.
“Georgia, move a bit to the side.”
Efren reached out to push away her arms.
Georgia wouldn’t listen, and she clung to him even more passionately.
“No, I just want to sit like this.”
If she simply wanted to sit, Efren would indulge her.
But she was restless and kept exploring.What was this? A button? Why was it here?
“And what’s this? Efren, did you bring a stick with you when we went out? Are you afraid I’ll hit you?”
Her words made the driver’s skin jump.
It was not something a wage earner like him could hear.
He thought that someone like Efren, who had no interest in women, would be furious when provoked by a woman like this.
But when he secretly glanced at them through the rearview mirror, he saw that Efren was embracing Georgia. Efren’s eyes were filled with tenderness, and his smile was indulgent.
The driver was dumbfounded.
Could this be the girl rumored to be Efren’s sweetheart in the company?
He had learned too much, and it was not a good thing.Just as the driver was pondering about how to deal with this situation, his eyes met Efren’s through the rearview mirror.
The tenderness in the man’s eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by indifference and a warning.
The driver hurriedly said,
“Mr. Serrano, I didn’t see anything.”
“Good!”
The man’s voice was icy.
As the driver was contemplating how to respond, Georgia muttered again,
“What did you guys see? Why didn’t I see anything?”
“We didn’t see anything. We didn’t say anything.”
Efren’s voice softened once again.
“No?”
Georgia raised her head.
Her beautiful eyes were hazy with intoxication, making her look charming and innocent.
Efren felt that everyone would misunderstand if he took Georgia back home like this.
So…
“Let’s go back to the hotel.”
The driver thought this was the wisest decision, so he immediately turned the steering wheel, and the car rushed toward the hotel where Efren currently resided.
Georgia had a dream.
In the dream, she kissed Efren.
And Efren responded to her.
The next day, when Georgia woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar room.
She quickly checked her clothes.
Fortunately, her clothes were intact and showed no signs of being touched.
She tried to recall what happened last night.
But perhaps because she was drunk, she only remembered having dinner with Efren.
“I didn’t kiss him last night, did I?”
Georgia wondered.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Just then, the bedroom door was pushed open.
Georgia thought it might be Efren and didn’t know how to face him. She even lifted the cover to hide her head.But what came over was the voice of a woman.
“Miss, here’s the check, and you can go now.”
“Check? What the heck?”
Georgia quickly lifted the covers and saw a woman standing in front of her in a black suit.
The woman looked pretty, and the suit set off her curvy figure.
But her cold gaze and words annoyed Georgia.
“I’m not a prostitute.”
She and Efren knew each other.
Last night, she was just drunk, and Efren was probably worried that she would blurt out something senseless when she got home, so he brought her here to avoid any misunderstandings.
But this woman took her for a hooker.
“Many girls have emphasized this in front of Mr. Serrano, but in the end, they took the money and left, I advise you to be sensible and not wait until I get serious. You won’t even get the money then.”
The woman threatened Georgia, but what really bothered Georgia was when she said that many girls had emphasized this in front of Efren…
In other words, Efren had been with hookers all these years.
The thought of it made her disgusted, and she rushed to the bathroom.
The woman followed her in and sneered,
