Emily was once a very popular actress. Even though she was not exposed often now, a lot of fans were looking forward to her. At this time, she was so embarrassed just for a role, which also made people feel pity for her.
However, as if afraid of her, Elmer did not hear Director Liu's words. She was kicked out in the end.
Director Liu also came out from the box. Looking at Emily's depressed face, he said, "He has a bad temper. He drank some wine today and was totally unreasonable. I'll tell him about it later."
It was just a social formula, so Emily didn't take it seriously. She straightened her clothes and raised her arrogant head.
"I'm leaving now."
'Don't be embarrassed or made others laugh at you, ' Emily warned herself in mind. She had no idea that her attitude was like a joke in others' eyes.
Many people at the party had already saw that. Seeing Emily's face, they all covered their mouths and turned their back to laugh.
In fact, many people were also worried like Melinda. They thought that Emily was a resourceful woman, because she could sneak into a private room when others were in the hall.
Emily was arrogant, but she was still depressed after walking out of the hotel. The director's attitude made her resentful. She lost the game twice because of only one person.
She didn't believe that the director didn't give in. She frustrated because of Jonas, and now because of an old man. The huge insult to Emily's self-esteem was aroused, and it aroused her challenge.
The most important reason was that it was none other than Melinda.
Since both of them had a relationship with Melinda, Jonas ignored her but was full of love for Melinda, while the director looked down upon her. Instead, he turned to Melinda for cooperation.
How could she be defeated by Melinda?
Thinking of this, Emily was in urgent need of an outlet for her anger. A prosperous city always had a very busy street at night.
Emily parked her car outside a bar she often went to.
It was not yet late at midnight, but there were already many people here. The light was very dim, but the bright light that came occasionally made people frown.
The deafening music and the audience applauded vigorously, creating a lively atmosphere.
Emily walked to the bar counter and ordered a glass of wine casually. After she sat down at the door, a man and a woman came over. The man was tall and the woman was slim, and if she didn't look carefully, she would almost mistake Jerry as Jonas.
Unconsciously, her eyes fell on that woman. She was wearing a set of bright clothes. At this moment, she was leaning against Jerry, smiling sweetly.
Jerry did not notice the existence of Emily. He laughed with his girlfriend. They had made a reservation just passing by the bar counter.
Being ignored like this, Emily was even much angrier. The bartender looked at Emily with wine in his hand and shouted, "Miss, your Purple Mystery."
"Give it to me." After saying that, Emily drunk up the wine in her glass, slapped it on the bar counter. Then she took the glass to the bartender and asked him to get her another glass.
The cocktail tasted like juice, but it was strong. Emily had drunk a few more shots as if she had been addicted to it. She felt flushed again and again because of the alcohol and the heavy makeup was unable to cover that.
Jerry led his girlfriend to the seat and asked for a fruit plate. Many girls started to dance on the stage.
The sounds of playing dice and dancing were everywhere. Everyone drank with different ways.
"Did you often come to this kind of place before?" The woman tugged at her clothes with a little embarrassment, then she approached Jerry's ear and said.
This warm and numb feeling made Jerry shudder for a while, and then he shook his head and said, "It's too noisy here, I can't hear you clearly."
This bar was not only Emily's frequent visit, but also his frequent visit. So it was quite familiar, and he could see a few familiar faces around it.
However, when his girlfriend asked about him, Jerry acted obediently like he had never come here before. Obviously, the woman was not satisfied with his reply. She pouted and sat beside him, but did not ask any more questions.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." Jerry fed his girlfriend a bit of apple and kissed her on the cheek. Then he got up and left.
As the washroom of the bar had to pass the bar counter, Jerry finally saw Emily.
She was always dressed in luxury clothes, despite her pale face.
She drank one after another, her face full of drunkenness, or in other words, a feeling of being in a mess.
Jerry failed to recognize her at first, but later he tried to call her, "Emily Bai."
While drinking, Emily suddenly heard someone call her name. When she raised her head, in a daze, she saw Jonas standing there. He always waited for her like what he did when she was a child, no matter where she went.
"Jonas,"
