Carrying her personal belongings, Karine walked dejectedly in the company’s corridor.
Everyone was looking at her with disdain, contempt, and mockery. Some of them nearly applauded, and they were very happy.
None of them pitied her.
As she was going down the stairs, she bumped into Cordelia. The latter was stunned for a moment. The memory of her being taken away by the police a week ago surfaced in her head. At that time, they had been walking down the same stairwell, and she met Karine in the same position.
Although it had only been a week, she felt like a long time had passed since their position had changed now.
Cordelia nodded awkwardly. She wanted to smile at Karine but couldn’t. As she was about to walk away, she saw Karine glaring at her furiously, and her heart skipped a beat.
However, she noticed something different in Karine’s gaze this time. Other than hatred, she also saw a hint of fear in her eyes.
‘Fear?’
Cordelia did not know why Karine would be so scared of her.
Just as she was about to look at Karine again, the latter had already disappeared from the corner with her belongings.
…
There was a group of men in a private room of a bar. There was only half a bottle left of the expensive Romanee Conti.
Other than Josiah, who was having a good time, the rest of the people did not seem to enjoy this kind of place, especially Marcus. It was just that Josiah was the host this time, so they had to come.
“Z, Freddy, drink as much as you can!" Josiah said happily as he enjoyed the pole dancing show through the window. "I have a lot of wine here, so just help yourself! Robert, come, you too! Don't be so shy!”
That said, Robert was still a little bit uncomfortable. He smiled at Josiah politely before turning to Marcus.
Josiah walked up to Marcus and patted his shoulder. “Z, don't always keep a long face! Hasn't your wife's matter been solved? The women here are one more beautiful than the other. They’re all such eye candies, so even though you're married, you should at least let your eyes have a feast since you're already here.”
