For a moment, Emily felt that Jonas's antipathy and eyes were like nightmares in her heart. The people around her were laughing and talking, but in her eyes, they were all mocking her.
It was the first time that Emily had felt overconfident in the face of Jonas.
Her confidence all collapsed at this moment. She also realized one thing that Jonas was not the same person as she had known. There was a woman called Melinda in his heart.
"Clap." With a loud noise, the glass in Emily's hand was smashed to the corner. The sudden sound attracted many people's attention, and the girl who covered her eyebrows stood up from her seat with anger.
It was a lie hidden in the eyes of Emily.
She had many ways to separate them, just like this time, the divorce.
It didn't matter as long as she got what she wanted by hook or by crook.
Lowering her head, Emily walked out of the bar. It was a sunny day, which was rare to see. She looked up at the sky, only to find it dazzling.
'When did I become so unhappy with the sunlight?'
Ever since she chose to be an actress, it had become a required course for her to pay attention to privacy. Although she was eager to be paid attention every day, she was very cautious.
Now she was not that famous, but she still got in the car and left in a hurry. Recently, the company had signed a new comer for her agent, and the agent's attitude towards her became colder again. She had received so little work recently.
Emily controlled the steering wheel and drove aimlessly in the city. The last place where she stopped was the company of Melinda.
There was a cameraman and an assistant liked girl with lots of things in hand following Melinda. The three got on a commercial vehicle.
"Mel, give me that thing." The cameraman got on the car first. Seeing that Melinda could not get on with her luggage, the man offered to help her. Melinda handed the things to him, and looked around with suspicious eyes.
She felt like there was a burning sight behind her, and it seemed that the person who was staring at her wanted to swallow her.
At the sight of the car parking not far away, Melinda had an answer in her mind.
'What is Emily doing here? Does she come to make trouble?' Melinda muttered in her heart, but did not take it seriously. These people had nothing to do with her now.
"Mel, why don't you get in the car?" The cameraman yelled at the top of his lungs. After Melinda regained her composure, she held the car frame and got into the car. There were three rows of seats and a lot of food were placed at the back. Today, their destination was the orphanage.
These were gifts for the children inside.
"Let's go." Melinda smiled sheepishly and reminded the driver to set off. It was not until the car had left for a long time that Emily started the car and left Melinda's company.
She followed Melinda's car to the rear of the road. Sitting in the car, Melinda was checking whether there were any items in the bag when she found that the car was following behind.
Melinda heart sank. 'Why does Emily follow me?'
"Mel, why are you in a daze while counting? Do you remember where you just count?"
The assistant and Melinda cooperated to count. After she counted her things, she saw Melinda put her finger on a candy, but there was no movement for a long time.
Hearing her words, Melinda came to herself and began to think about how to get rid of Emily. Maybe it was because of the shadow of so many years that she had naturally have a natural guard against Emily.
"Sir, please drive slowly and pass the traffic light at last second."
Seeing the intersection ahead, Melinda suddenly said. Although the driver was a little confused, he still listened to her.
The road had passed three traffic lights in a row, and the following two, Melinda asked the taxi driver to quickly pass before the red lights were on. After three crossroads, there was finally no figure of Emily behind.
"Did you stay up late last night watching police and gangsters film?" The cameraman couldn't help teasing Melinda when he saw that she breathed a sigh of relief as if she had got rid of the terrorists.
At this time, Melinda realized how strange her behavior was in other people's eyes. She took advantage of the remark to tease herself, "You are right. I just experienced it."
The four of them burst into laughter.
At the second crossing, Emily who lost Melinda's track realized what she had just done and was also in a cold sweat.
There were cameras everywhere around. If she bumped into them, she would have a hard time.
In the evening, Emily went to the bar alone, which could be said to be a local famous nightclub. There were many crazy men and women in it.
With heavy makeup, she didn't look weird at all. She went on the dance floor with a group of people, enjoying herself as much as she wanted.
She was confident in her makeup and didn't worry that she would be recognized.
