With a sly smile on her face, the woman browsed the contents of Jacob's phone. Then, without hesitation, she casually deleted Emily's last call from the call log.
Just then, Jacob came out of the washroom and saw the strange woman holding his phone. His demeanor changed drastically.
"What are you doing? That's my phone in your hands." After going to the washroom, Jacob had sobered up a bit.
Suddenly, something caught his attention. The woman looked familiar. He studied her carefully now that he was clear-headed. She stared back at him with a surprised smile.
It dawned on him that this was the woman who had been trying to seduce him just now. Slowly, but steadily, his anger rose.
She gave him back his phone and said with a smile, "I saw the phone just lying there. No one was around. I was afraid that it might get stolen, so I decided to wait here with it until the owner came back. Since you're here, here you go." The woman had a pair of big, round eyes, and they gleamed as she spoke.
Her eyes made her look irresistible.
At first, Jacob hadn't believed her, but her eyes made him decide not to question her story.
Anyway, he had already gotten his phone back. He was the one who had been careless and left his phone on the counter, so there was no reason to blame the woman.
However, this woman had her own motives and was not ready to give up. Just now, she had answered Emily's phone call. Judging by the tone in which Emily spoke, the woman guessed that she might be Jacob's girlfriend, but it also seemed that she and Jacob were in the middle of a fight.
That seemed to indicate to the woman that she had a chance. Now, more than ever, she was not going to give up the opportunity to date such a fine man.
"Sir, I've been watching you for a while. It's so sad that you're drinking alone. Let me offer you some company," the woman said. While speaking, she moved closer, almost rubbing up against Jacob's body.
While he had had a lot to drink, Jacob was still sober. Immediately, he understood what the woman was suggesting.
"No need for that. Stay away from me, or else I'll have to be much less pleasant." He was irritated now. He only wanted to be by himself and drink in peace. However, it seemed that some people here did not want to give him that chance.
What the fuck was going on in the world? Why were so many people desperate to follow this path and seduce men for a better life?
Jacob knew that women had always found him charming, but he had always kept himself under control. He deliberately stayed away from dating.
Humiliated, the woman grew sullen.
He had scared her, and she did not dare to bother him again. She hung her head and sighed. From now on, she would have to admire him from a distance.
He had come to the bar, but hadn't flirted with anyone. Instead, he had drunk alone. What a good man he must be! But she had no chance to find out any more about him. After one last look at him, she shook her head and left.
After she had gone, Jacob resumed drinking by himself. For some reason, the unhappy memories in his mind became more vivid. No matter how hard he tried, he could not forget them.
When Louis arrived, he saw Jacob's lonely form at once. He shook his head helplessly, made his way to him, and sat down.
"Ah! It's you, Louis. Why are you here? Come and drink with me. Let's get hammered." Jacob had quickly recognized that it was Louis who had approached him.
