Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 398

Zoe and her friends couldn't help but share a laugh at Lauren's expense.

Lauren was darting around the room like a lost kite. Drunk customers shoved and pulled her around. Some perverted patrons even groped her.

Her attempts at dodging the unwanted advances were met with reprimands.

That was better entertainment than any comedy.

"Hahaha! That retard! Why has she not changed from junior high at all? Did she stop growing by then?" Zoe laughed and pointed at the screen. "Betty, I'm dying to know. Where did you stash that stupid bear?"

"I hid it at …" Betty laughed and whispered something into Zoe's ears.

Zoe laughed loudly. "What a brilliant idea! That dimwit won't stand a chance of finding it anytime soon."

…

Lauren desperately scoured the space beneath the tables and was kicked multiple times by the customers. She suffered bruises all over her body.

She stood there, dazed and trembling, wrapping her arms around herself for comfort. Her mind went blank at the funny looks of the strangers around her. Her breathing became labored with each passing second.

All of a sudden, the lighting changed. Confetti materialized in mid-air and cascaded down. The crowd erupted in cheers and danced the night away on the dance floor.

"My teddy bear …" Lauren remained focused on her search for the toy and leaned down to look around.

Suddenly, her sweaty face bumped into a warm body. She was left feeling dizzy and numb from the collision, which prompted tears to roll down her face.

"I-I'm sorry." Lauren hung her head and was ready to run when the figure stood in her way.

"I-I'm really s-sorry!" she stammered.
