Greg went out of the house and drove straight to the bar.
The bar provided a totally different world from the real one outside. There were shining neon signs and colorful lights, with which, the whole bar looked sexy and exciting. Some people were drinking their blues away and some were just there to relax. Some were dancing on the dance floor, some were drinking in little booths and couches arranged around the bar and some were making love in the private rooms. These were the typical people seen in the bar. They made the bar fun and mysterious at the same time.
Greg entered the bar, looked around and then sat down on a stool.
Watching a few girls swing on the dance floor, Greg only thought that they looked ridiculous. But he couldn't get his mind off of Violet.
Greg couldn't find any word to describe his current mood. He was quite confused with a lot of things going on in his head. He even didn't know how to face Violet tomorrow. He wondered what he should say to Violet, first. To be honest, he didn't know where he could sleep tonight.
Greg had drunk a lot of wine and felt the world spinning. He made himself laugh and talked to himself helplessly,"It's nice to be drunk."
In a corner not far from him, Cassie and her new friends were also there drinking. When she looked Greg's way, she was surprised and couldn't believe that it was actually Greg. She had to look twice to make sure. What a surprise from heaven!
A friend asked her,"Cassie, what are you looking at?"
Cassie quickly replied,"Well, nothing."
Another friend also looked Greg's way, smiled and said,"Oh, that's the son of the Chairman of the hospital you're working for, right? Now I understand why you can't take your eyes off him. He is such a handsome guy."
That girl said exactly what Cassie was thinking. But Cassie wasn't embarrassed and she just smiled and was deep in thought.
Cassie suddenly asked the girl,"Hey, isn't your husband a newspaper reporter?"
The girl replied,"Yes. Why?" She was puzzled, because this was a girls' night out and her husband wasn't with them. Why did Cassie ask her about him?
An idea flashed across Cassie mind and she said,"How do you think of making tomorrow's headlines with Greg?"
Cassie's words intrigued the girl and she immediately replied,"That sounds like a good idea. I've heard that Greg is the perfect man for many women, but it's a pity that he has gotten married. A lot of women still go to XS Hospital just to see him. So if he becomes the headline, he will certainly be the center of attention and those women will buy the newspaper because of him!"
