Caleb took a long time to calm down, but even so he left work half an hour earlier than normal.
When Caleb arrived at Rosenfeld Hill, Eva had just returned, and Caleb walked through the door and looked around, but there was no sign of Eva in the living room, and as his face darkened, he suddenly heard something in the kitchen.
"The company is not busy today? Just wait a few minutes for dinner." Eva heard the sound of the door opening and asked loudly as she worked on her dishes.
Without hearing a sound or Caleb's reply, Eva turned and glanced at Caleb, who was standing at the kitchen door.
"What's the matter? Hungry?" Eva was busy making the last dish and didn't notice Caleb's difference.
Caleb looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, mixed feelings in his heart, thinking about how she would cook for another man, smile for another man, all he could think of was to keep her here forever.
"Eva, he already has a fiancée," Caleb said suddenly.
Eva was confused, "Who?"
"Mr. Gallagher, your childhood sweetheart," Caleb fumed as his suspicions flared.
Eva didn't know why Caleb would bring up Brody, that piece of shit, and say that she was going to get back together with him.
Eva didn't think that she was so cheap and disgusting in his eyes.
"Yes, he is handsome, powerful, and rich. Why should I give up this cash cow? I can't wait to go with him now." Eva threw her apron away angrily and ran out the door.
Eva walked out in anger, there are only mansions in the area, and it was hard to get a taxi. She was walking aimlessly, the tears that she was holding back when she was in front of Caleb, now was coming out freely.
Eva felt particularly aggrieved. How would Caleb think of her like that? Someone who could sell everything for money, from marriage to freedom, dignity included.
It was hard to stop a car, Eva had no place to vent her anger, so she went straight to the Crown Halo, and no one could control herself now anyway.
When she walked into the bar, the deafening sound was so loud that it was as if she had been transported back to her life a few years ago.
During her first year abroad, Eva frequented the bars, playing until midnight every day and staying up all night all the time.
That year was the darkest period of her life, thrown abroad by her own parents, with no one to turn to, studying at a trash university, and no one to care about her life. Maybe the Sommers family would like her to die abroad and never come back.
Thinking about that, Eva felt sad, twenty-something was supposed the most prime of her life but has already tasted the bittersweet of life.
Drink after drink, the spicy taste did not ease the pain in her heart; she just wanted to get drunk, not to think about anything, to forget all these troublesome things.
How long had it been since she had been this drunk? Before when Renee would arrange a dinner meeting for her, she had to drink, but after drinking, she would rush to the bathroom to vomit, she must always stay sober, otherwise, she would have been sold many times by now.
Eva was already stunning, and her bare face was even more attractive. Now she was sitting there by herself, drinking wildly, and the eyes of the surrounding dudes have not moved since Eva came in.
"Hey, beautiful, what's the point of drinking here by yourself, come, I can drink with you." The guy was none other than Hartvenport's notorious playboy, Dan Kilmer, who was always lingering in bars and clubs and between women, not doing anything else, he was going to put his hand on Eva's.
Eva raised her eyes and glared at him, full of disdain.
Nearby people heckle, saying that Mr. Kilmer could have any woman he wants, but Eva didn't know better and could not appreciate his attention, and that Mr. Kilmer should teach her a lesson.
