"Can you reach him?" Of course, Daisy didn't imagine that it would turn out like this. She thought that they had talked it all out and made up. But it seemed that not only were things not fine between them, they made their situation even worse.
"No. His phone must be off." Leena shook her head, she had a very frustrated look on her face.
"I just told you to have a nice talk with him! Now what the hell did you do?" Daisy's brows were deeply frowned, and she looked at Edward, who was calmly sitting there. He must know Duke's temper, after all, Duke was his brother.
"Why are you looking at me? I wasn't even there." Edward was not very happy in the first place, and especially when he saw Zemo, he was in a worse mood.
"You can stop looking for him. There's no use. He left the bar." Thinking of Duke just leaving like that, Belinda felt bitter all over again. She snapped her fingers to the waiter beside them. Did they really think they could stop her from drinking just by taking the bottle from her hand? Well, she could always ask the waiter to bring her some more booze, right?
The waiter quickly walked towards them, lowered his head and then asked Belinda, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
"Give me a bottle of Absolut." In Belinda's mind, she could only drown her sorrow in liquor as strong as Absolut vodka. Only then could she forget about what happened between her and Duke earlier, and be happy again.
"Please don't listen to her! We don't need any more alcohol, but thank you anyway! She's had too much already." Daisy stopped the waiter without a second thought. She didn't think this was a right place for Belinda to stay, considering her state right now.
"Daisy, are you my friend or not? I haven't had that much! Waiter, get me a drink!" Belinda was always eager to do well in everything, and she wouldn't easily admit defeat. But now she seemed fragile. Daisy hadn't seen her like this before. And this also broke Daisy's heart.
"Come on! Let's get her home first." Edward stood up. His good-looking brows were furrowed this whole time.
"If we have to, we have to. Zemo, I'm sorry that you had to see this mess. We need to leave now. Let's get together and have dinner some other time. My treat." Daisy smiled apologetically to Zemo. It was really bad timing, they had just met, then this mess happened. So she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
