Where on earth did he go? He hadn't come back for such a long time. Was there anything wrong? If he hadn't taken away her phone, she wouldn't have been so embarrassed.
She gave the phone back to the shop assistant in despair and said "thank you". Then she walked outside like a puppet with a broken line. The bookstore was right opposite the convenience store. When she returned there, she sneezed several times in her T-shirt because of the cold night.
Edward was a man of his word. Something must have happened since he didn't show up for such a long time. She squatted down and rubbed her arms. Although she was so lonely and helpless, she still begging him not to be hurt.
At this time, a pair of leather shoes appeared in her sight.
"Where on the earth are you ——?" She suddenly stood up and looked up, but didn't see the face of Edward.
"It's so late. Why are you here alone?" Chuck frowned and asked.
In order to maintain her self-esteem, she said, "I... there are too many people here. I got lost."
"Lost?" He didn't seem to believe this reason.
"Yes! It happens that the phone is not by my side." She was a little nervous, but she had to admit that she was really happy to meet someone she knew at this time.
Seeing the hope in her eyes, Chuck was stunned.
She thought for a while and asked, "by the way, do you have Edward's number? Can I make him a call by your phone?"
"I don't have his phone number." He said lightly. Seeing the stars in her eyes dimmed, he continued, "but... Maybe I know where he is."
Angela looked at him with doubt, and he said, "would you like to wait for him here or follow me to find him?"
When people choose to believe one or not, they did usually the final decision by comparison. Was the man in front of her worth her trust?
"Is there anything wrong with Edward?" She was a little nervous.
"How could I know?" His face was cold, but he answered perfunctorily.
That's right. But how could he know?
At this moment, her stomach growled and she immediately blushed.
She had dinner at around four or five o'clock today. It was normal for her to be hungry now, but when he heard it, she looked even more embarrassed!
Thirty minutes later, she finished the steaming noodles in the convenience store. He asked her, "do you want to stay here and wait for him, or follow me to find him?"
It was already twelve o'clock in the morning, but he hadn't shown up yet. She said, "I'll go with you to find him."
Hearing such an answer, he was satisfied like a fish finally hooked. When he turned around, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. But in an instant, the smile disappeared.
She followed him to a car parked on the roadside.
She saw a figure beside the car. Under the night lamp, she felt a little familiar, suddenly her heart was hit hard.
Was it...
Seeing that she suddenly stopped, he turned around and asked, "what's wrong?"
Her face was a little pale and she shook her head with a faint smile.
Before she opened the door, she heard the rhythmic music. Looking out through the window, she saw the tall and thin beauties traipsing in and out of the bar, the heavy metal decoration, almost the same as in the S City.
It seemed that this shop was a chain store. Last time in Mu Shadow in S City, she was almost belittled, so there was still a shadow.
But Chuck said he took her to look for Edward. Was he here?
"You can go back now." Chuck knew that Minnie didn't like this kind of place, so he asked him to go back and have a rest.
In the past, he would gladly accept it, but this time, he replied, "Mr. Chuck, didn't you say last time that you wanted to take me to see night life?"
Then he was about to park the car.
"Oh?" Chuck raised his eyebrows, glanced at him and then secretly glanced at Angela. He had a rough idea.
Angela followed them into the hall. The rhythmic music, colorful lights, and the beautiful women dancing on the stage... Everything dazzled her.
Chuck ordered several bottles of wine and poured her a glass. Angela was busy finding Edward in the messy and noisy environment, and she just pretended to take a sip.
The place was a little large and the light was not bright. She looked at Edward for a while but still couldn't find him. Therefore, she left her seat for the reason of going to the bathroom so that she could find him as soon as possible.
Seeing her leave, Minnie stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
From the moment Angela came in, she began to look for the figure of Edward, but didn't even give him a sight. Maybe she had no place for him in her heart for a long time, but he was still worried that she would be hurt in such a complicated environment!
Chuck looking at the two people who were leaving one close after another. There was a hint of interest in his eyes. He couldn't help smiling. Then he put down the wine in his hand and followed behind.
