In the Blue Bar, Joey Lan deliberately chooses a secluded seat. When she sees Wendy coming, she beckons to Wendy.
Wendy walks over. She sits down frowningly after she sees the two wine bottles on the table.
"Why ask me out?" Wendy puts her handbag aside, but she does not stop Joey from drinking. She just looks at Joey quietly.
Joey pushes both bottles of wine in front of Wendy, then puts the juice in front of herself. She says to Wendy, "You know I can't drink."
"Then why do you still invite me here?" Wendy looks at her sarcastically.
"I thought you wanted to come here." Joey looks innocent.
"I just want to tell you that Duke likes me. Don't pester him anymore."
Wendy can't help rolling her eyes. Since she meets Joey, Joey always says it to her
She doesn't seem to pester Duke deliberately, does she?
"I think you’re wrong. I know he likes you, but what does this have to do with me?" Wendy says lightly, ignoring Joey's resentful and pleading gaze completely.
"Since you know, why do you always pester him?" Joey is a little anxious, trying to grab Wendy's hands, but Wendy avoids her.
Wendy frowns. "When did I pester him?"
"When?! Since I came back, you always pester him. Last time he borrowed your suit. If you didn't say anything to him, why has he been so indifferent to me recently?" Joey looks at Wendy resentfully. She puts all the responsibility on Wendy.
In fact, Duke has been busy recently so he doesn't have much time to take care of Joey. Who will have thought that it will cause such a misunderstanding?
"You are overthinking. I have to go." Wendy stands up and is about to leave with her handbag.
Joey sees that Wendy is going to leave. She grabs Wendy’s hand, "No, you can't go. You must give me an explanation today!"
Wendy becomes a little impatient. She wants to leave, but Joey stops her.
"Joey, let me go!" Wendy pulls open her finger frowningly, but Joey holds her hands tightly.
"Hey, these two girls look pretty good." An obscene voice sounds, making people scared.
Wendy turns her head to look. She sees a group of hooligans approaching them. Their obscene gazes fix on Wendy and Joey.
…
When Duke Field arrives, he saw Joey being forced to drink alcohol. He becomes extremely angry. He rushes to Joey's side, ignoring Wendy.
Wendy looks at his back. She quietly watches him hit those people to the ground. His actions are fierce.
Then, he holds back his hostility and rage, walks to Joey, gently picks her up, and kisses her injured forehead.
Wendy has never seen Duke be so bloodthirsty and fierce, or be gentle and caring.
All his tenderness and exceptions belong to the woman in his arms.
Maybe it’s because of the alcohol, Wendy suddenly remembers a memory long time ago.
In October of that year, she fell in love at first sight.
Wendy is confused for the first time. What she likes is Duke who guarded her back then, or the crush that she is insisting on but will never have a result?
She only feels that the scene in front of her is getting more and more hazy. Her mind is still in a mess. In the end, she falls down.
Before she faints, she sees Duke holding Joey and walking away from her.
“Goodbye, my secret love.”
