Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy novel Chapter 4

Now that things had turned out this way, she was afraid of a big loss of money.

"Who knows." Darcy pouted, looking indifferent.

"You are pretending to be nonchalant with me, right? Who looked at me with that pitiful look when she fainted just now and told me not to tell anyone?" Rae took a step closer to the hospital bed and clenched her fist as if she was about to teach her, who was ungrateful, a lesson.

Darcy swallowed for fear that she would really hit her, "I really don't know. The bar was so crowded that night. I ..."

Rae was furious.

So she didn't go anywhere in the afternoon and just stayed in her room with Darcy. They both ignored each other and did their own thing until it got dark outside. Rae then remembered the appointment. She still had to inform him if she wouldn’t go. She couldn't bear Eric sitting there alone, so she turned to the woman in the hospital bed, "Give me Eric's phone number. I need to talk to him."

"I don't have it." Darcy shook her head, "I did ask him for his number, but he didn't give it to me, saying that he would give it to me next time after I finished shooting." After that, Darcy looked wistfully at Rae and asked, "Rae, you must remind him of seeing me again."

Rae was exasperated, "Take care of the baby first, alright?"

"It's easy. You know, nothing can stop me from chasing a handsome man." Darcy laughed like a flower in full bloom.

Seeing her smile, Rae suddenly felt numb and painful, like her heart had been gently stung by a bee. She knew Darcy's past. Now Darcy probably felt tired of living seriously after experiencing a heartbreaking experience and thought it would be better to just enjoy her life. She wanted to say something, but it occurred to her that her own relationship was still a mess, so how could she teach others?

Both she and Jensen were trying their best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but she knew that the matter had always been buried in their hearts as heavy as a mountain and neither of them couldn’t be bothered to move it.

Rae stood for a while. It was getting dark outside, so she decided to go to the French restaurant and tell Eric to leave, and then she would go home and cook for Jensen.

...

It was eight o'clock when Rae arrived at the French restaurant. The restaurant was lavishly decorated, with gentle music wafting around the dining room and the delicate cutlery mirroring shiny lights. Everyone smiled on their faces and the whole restaurant looked peaceful.

She immediately noticed the man she hadn't seen for a long time, and her heart ached suddenly. It’s Eric. He was, in white casual clothes, sitting by the window, and looking out. The entire night scene of City BJ seemed like a silent background behind him. He looked as gentle, elegant, and gorgeous as the assistant said ...

At first, she was attracted by him for this reason and then fell deeply in love with him.

Of course, she ended up being hurt badly by him.

The good thing was that she had grown in the relationship. And her heart was tough enough to protect her from being hurt by him again.

Rae fixed her long hair and slowly walked over to him.

Eric noticed someone coming towards him and moved his sight back from the window. When he saw Rae, a smile instantly spread across his face, making him look even more charming. Eric stood up and pulled out a chair for her, "Little Rae, I am waiting for you." His voice was so gentle that it was like a long brewing wine that would make one drunk at the first sip.

Little Rae.

Rae hadn't heard a call from him for a long time. She took a deep breath and felt her heart ache again. She calmed herself down and said coldly, "No, thanks. I'm not here to talk about the past. I just came to tell you that I had something else to do and couldn't have dinner with you. Please don't invite me in such an arbitrary way anymore. I won't come again. That's all."

After saying that, Rae turned around to leave.

"Little Rae, just stop disguising. If you can really be cruel to me," Eric chuckled as if he hadn't heard her hurtful words, "and why would you rather let Jensen hate you than tell him about the truth?"

The truth ...

Rae felt like her feet were stuck and she couldn't move at once.

The chaotic scene back then flashed through her mind slowly like playing a movie. When she recalled Jensen's harsh and desperate look at her, Rae felt her chest was tight like it was being pressed against a large stone, and it became difficult for her to even breathe. Rae subconsciously knocked on her chest gently, feeling very depressed.

Eric raised his hand and fixed her long hair around her ear. His smile was like a warm breeze in the winter, "See, you still love me in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't show up to stop me from waiting..."
