Daniel put his hand on Janet's shoulder, and said, "My silly girl, Mr. Qiao just congratulated us on our wedding!"
"Oh! Thank you, Caspar!" Janet didn't have the opportunity to speak more with Caspar that evening.
Jerry and Daniel also kept reminding her from time to time of her past relationship with Caspar!
With a forced smile on his face, Caspar said, "Don't forget to invite me to your wedding party! And tell me whatever you want as a gift!"
Caspar felt a little bit lost at that moment, because he had no idea whether he should give up or continue to insist...
Daniel said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Qiao! We will definitely send you our wedding invitation! As for the gift, that's completely up to you. Because I'm her husband, I'm the one that gets her whatever she wants!"
...
Janet cast a sharp glance at Daniel, and thought that he had been speaking too much today! Wasn't he afraid of ruining his cool and noble image?
"Okay," said Caspar, without uttering any other word.
After they walked out of the hotel, Samuel and Jerry sent Caspar to the car, but Caspar couldn't help but take a deep look at Janet when he was just about to leave.
Caspar dialed Croft's number, and asked, "You're in C Country now, aren't you?"
"Shit! How did you know? I just arrived earlier!" Croft had arrived in the country already, and had just got out of the shower in his hotel suite.
Caspar closed his eyes, and in a distressed voice, said, "Let's go to the bar! I want to drink!"
"What's up?" asked Croft. He noticed that Caspar had been drinking more and more, and he thought that there was only one reason for that, and that was Janet.
When Caspar had seen the news about Daniel and Janet dating each other, he had drank himself for two days in a row. Croft thought that this time it was also because of her...
And his suspicion was confirmed after he met Caspar in one of the nightclub's private rooms.
After he drank three glasses of whiskey, Caspar couldn't hold himself back any longer, and started to speak his bitter hardships. "Janet's getting married!" he cried.
He knew that he didn't have a chance at her anymore, because she looked happy with Daniel!
"Well, it makes sense, you should have known better earlier! Sometimes you're too stubborn!" said Croft. Caspar was very simple-minded, and had never known how or when to give up. That was why he had gotten hurt.
After another bottle of whiskey, Caspar suddenly shouted, "Ask the manager to come here!"
Croft wondered what he wanted to do, and doubtfully pressed the service bell. A waiter came to them, and Croft ordered, "Bring the manager to our table!"
"Okay. Mr. Qiao, just a moment!" said the waiter, who looked at Caspar and found that he was already pretty drunk!
Caspar had come to the nightclub for several times already, and some waiters recognized him.
Soon, the manager came in. He took out the high-grade cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Caspar. "Mr. Qiao, have a cigarette," he said.
After he took the cigarette, Croft put it in his mouth and lit it, but Caspar put his on the table instead, and in a low voice, ordered the manager, "Go and find me someone clean and send her upstairs!"
The manager quickly replied before Croft could figure out what Caspar meant by "someone clean."
He was sophisticated, and with a smile, he immediately promised Caspar, "Mr. Qiao, please trust me! I will send you the cleanest and most beautiful one there is!"
The manager then walked out of the room to make the arrangement.
Taking a long look at Caspar, who was already a little drunk, Croft was left speechless...
Croft had hunted for numerous women himself, and it was very common for him to play with women inside the club. But for Caspar, he thought that this was perhaps his first time...
He patted Caspar's shoulder, and said, "Buddy, get over it already!"
