"What attitude? I'm already very polite to you. It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how would I end up like this?"
Hearing Brandon's voice, the anger in my heart surged up. I couldn't help venting all my anger on him.
If he hadn't forced me to stay last night, Evie wouldn't have been with Gabriel and things wouldn't have become so terrible.
I had never been so angry with Brandon before. Once I finished speaking, he was silent for a long while on the other end of the phone. When he finally spoke again, his voice was cold.
"Hollie, what's wrong with you? Do you know who you're talking to?"
Although I was on the phone, I could almost imagine how dark his face was.
"I don't want to talk to you now. I have more important things to do now. I'm about to sleep on the streets tonight!"
Although I'm in a bad mood and I really want to vent, the most important thing for me now was to find a place to live tonight. Otherwise, I would really have to sleep on the street.
I was about to hang up when Brandon's voice came from the other end.
"Sleep on the street? Where are you now?"
Perhaps he noticed that something was wrong with me, so his tone softened a lot.
"I'm wandering the streets and have nowhere to go. Are you satisfied now?"
I said these words coldly and hung up the phone. I didn't want to hear Brandon's voice again.
No good things ever came out of meeting him. If it were under normal circumstances, I might stop to consider the consequences of offending a man like him, but right now, I couldn't care less.
I just had a bad quarrel with my best friend. I didn't care what he thought.
After hanging up, I dragged my suitcase and asked around at several nearby hotels, but every one of them was so expensive.
I checked the time when I came out of yet another hotel. It was already ten o'clock at night. I sighed, resigned, and considered paying a few hundred dollars for a night in the hotel. If I didn't, I might really have to sleep on the streets.
If it was in the past, I wouldn't hesitate like this. But since my father had the operation, he had to rely on a lot of medication in the post-operation aftercare. That cost a lot of money, so I was trying to save where I could.
When I finally decided to get a room, a car suddenly honked behind me.
Anyone would've been annoyed if a car honked behind them in the middle of the night.
I turned around irritably and looked back, but when I saw the car plate number, I was a little stunned.
It was Brandon's car. Why was this man here at this hour? Was he here to experience a night in a small hotel?
I still remember that this man booked a five-star hotel for a one night stand. I didn't believe that he was here to stay at this dingy hotel.
I stood where I was, hesitating if I should walk over and say hello.
At this moment, Brandon poked his head out of the car window and looked at me with a frown. "What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
Only after hearing his voice did I react and walk towards him.
I knew that I had no right to refuse him, so I got into his car with my luggage.
