Despite the fact that he looks like a passive side, he actually feels bad.
Especially now, by looking at Lily who sit next to Michael, the murderousness of his eyes is about to burst out.
However, he has no choice but to hold back.
He deserves it!
He put on airs, so he deserves a punishment sooner or later!
Orson doesn’t care about him and continues to chat with Michael and Alex from time to time. Rex will just occasionally add a few words or made a suggestion. Lily always consciously or unconsciously looks at him, but unfortunately they don’t have a chance to speak alone.
Lily still remembers her purpose of coming here. When she is brainstorming to find a way, she hears a slightly heavy male voice—
“Lily, can you drink?” The man sitting beside her, which is Michael leans closer to her ears out of sudden.
The unfamiliar breath from his body drifts into her nasal cavity. Lily initially wanted to look at Rex, who sits beside him. However, she is taken back and her body shakes.
Michael, who feels it, supports his hand to the back of her body, “Are you okay?”
Lily moves a little bit to the side, avoiding his hand and raises her hand to tuck her hair into the ears, “I’m fine. I, I’ll go to the toilet.”
The purpose of randomly pick up an excuses, is to escape from the room.
In less than half a minute after she left, Rex also drinks out a glass of wine in a shot and follows her out.
Michael is baffled and looks at Orson, “What happen to Rex?”
Orson narrows his eyes and smiles treacherously, secretly mourning for Michael for two second, “You have scared the little girl. Rex went to calm her down.”
“….” Michael’s face turns ghastly within a second, “Ehm… I don’t know, I don’t know that she….”
“Chill, I didn’t say anything.” After speaking, Orson smiles even bigger. It stabs right into Michaels’ heart.
Alex, who sits beside, swallows hard. Luckily, luckily he didn’t show it.
…..
After escaping from the suffocated atmosphere inside the room, Lily stands in front of a sink and stretches her hand to feel the faucet water, allowing the cold water to calm the arteries in her wrist.
She hangs his head low and keeps on imagining the attitude of Rex, who was neither familiar nor distant.
She thought that the usual Rex was cold enough. But who knows, it was just the tip of an iceberg. When he has truly decided not to care about she, this is the real cold.
From the moment she was here, he rarely looked at her, as if doesn’t have any intention to notice herself.
Lily reflects herself at the mirror of the sink. The small face is painted with flawless makeup. The black suit wraps on her body is just right, but she doesn’t have confident this time.
Just when she is about to went out of spirit, come a sound of flushing suddenly from the partition behind the closed door and she hears a whispering woman voice, “Hey, Beth is here today, did you saw her?”
The other person adds in, “Yeah, she looks really elegant though and I couldn’t ignore.”
“Do you know what was she doing here?”
“How can I know? Nobody plays with her now. She is like defective goods.” The woman pauses and says again with some uncertainty, “However, I heard that she was here because of Rex.”
“Rex?”
Lily doesn’t have any intention to eavesdrop their words, but after hearing his name, she decides to stay.
“Yeah, my friends told me that Beth decides to take him tonight, but with what method, it is still unclear.”
“Will he like her like that? But it is possible if she drugged him.” The woman said while thinking at the same time, “Will she really do that?”
“Hey, thinking of it, I remember that she seems to have bought a medicine from a friend of mine, is it possible that she might….”
