At a bar in Jingshi City.
"I just can't wait to learn how Emily met her end this time," said Tina, who was drinking in the bar, as she put on a broad victorious smile on her face, imagining Emily struggling in pain helplessly.
'A girl who has offended me deserves nothing less, ' Tina thought.
She twirled the wine in her glass, with a satisfied look on her face. In just a few minutes, she overindulged in alcohol and ended up getting quite drunk.
A beautiful lady would always be the center of attention in a bar, especially a lady with no man accompanying her. Soon a man walked over, trying to accost Tina.
"Hey, are you here alone?"
"Get lost," Tina blew him off with only two words. The disgust and arrogance in her eyes made the man feel like he was just nothing but trash.
The man was utterly aggrieved by Tina's words, but since he had recognized who the girl was, he didn't dare to say anything back. Instead, he scoffed and whispered,"You'd better pray that your family always keeps its position, or else, I'll have your guts for garters."
However, before he could even finish, he was doused with fine, red wine all of a sudden.
"I said 'get lost'. Didn't you hear me?" Tina exclaimed.
"You! You'd better watch out!" said the man, barely squeezing the words from his teeth. However, since he was afraid of Tina's powerful family, he could do nothing but walk away, with his tail between his legs.
"Trash," Tina murmured, with an arrogant and overconfident look on her face.
After the man left, all the other guests in the bar discovered that the girl who was sitting alone at the bar was Tina Tao. And no one else dared to accost her any more because they didn't want to get in trouble.
In fact, they were more afraid of Tina's family members than her. To be more specific, they were more afraid of her brother Mark, who was extremely protective of his sister.
Although Tina was in a good mood, she got bored after drinking a few more drinks. When she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind.
"Ms. Tina, would you like to try some of my cocktails?"
Tina turned round impatiently. The next moment, she froze when she saw the man's face.
His facial structure resembled Jacob's, but not completely.
Tina's instinct kept telling her that this man was not Jacob, but she could not help but walk closer to him. After all, how could she resist the temptation from a man who looked so similar to Jacob?
"Are you a bartender in this bar? What's your name?"
"Yes, Ms. Tina, my name is Leon," the man answered, as he started to mix the drinks for her. Tina was completely attracted by his agile and proficient move when he was shaking the glass with his slender fingers.
"Leon?" Tina laughed,"Am I in a movie?"
"Actually I aspire to be movie star one day."
Tina grinned, and directly asked the man,"I really like your face. I'd like to give you something for your face. Tell me what do you want? I am willing to give you a gift since I am in a good mood."
"There's no need. I have always admired you, Ms. Tina," said Leon. As he gracefully put the cocktail glass before Tina, he continued,"I just wanted to have your attention."
"Sweet words..." Tina grabbed the glass and took a sip; seeming even more drunk, she continued,"I like them."
In truth, she was quite pleased, not because of Leon, but because those words were spoken out from a man who looked very similar to Jacob in appearance.
She realized that she was somewhat drunk, and not just because of the alcohol.
Tina was aware that the man must have had ulterior motives when he accosted her. She knew that it would do her good to stay away from him, but she just couldn't control herself.
As a girl who always got what she wanted, she had no intentions of exercising her controls any time soon.
