"What? You are so kind-hearted! How can you sympathize with that kind of woman? " Josef said bitterly.
"Hey, Josef, may I ask you a question? You have to answer me honestly. " Said Ellen.
"What question? When am I not honest? " Said Josef.
"Well, look at you just now. Are you really in love with Myra? Otherwise, why do you care so much about whether she has an affair or not? And why do you come out for a drink in the middle of the night? " Said Ellen.
"Did I say that I really care about her? Is she worth it? How can an ordinary girl like her match me? Why do you ask such a stupid question? " Said Josef.
"You didn't answer me directly. I really hope that you won't fall in love with her. Otherwise, you will have a hard time in love. " Said Ellen sincerely to Josef.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not blind. Is my taste so bad? Don't you know my IQ? But you... I have never seen you have a formal girlfriend. Don't play so much. It's hard to find a girlfriend if you get old. " Josef teased.
"Show off! Humph! I'm not as handsome as you, and I'm not that miserable! After all, I am still single and rich. This is my advantage! " Said Ellen.
"Got it. It is your advantage." Josef said with a smile.
Ellen and Josef drank a lot. It was almost three o'clock.
Josef had something to do tomorrow morning. Seeing that Ellen was drunk, it was not interesting to drink alone.
Josef called Ellen's driver to pick him up. He also took the car key and was about to leave.
"Mr. Josef, let's drive you home!" The bar manager said in a hurry.
"No, thanks. I can drive by myself." Josef refused.
"But, Mr. Josef, you have drunk so much. If Mr. Ellen knows it tomorrow, we will lose our job." The manager said flatteringly.
"Don't worry! I insisted on driving home. It's none of your business. I will talk to Ellen later. " Then Josef drove away.
On the way, he was thinking about where to go at such a late night. Somehow, he drove home.
Now that he was back, he wanted to go to bed early. When he came back, everyone else had fallen asleep, including Myra.
She was so tired that she fell asleep. Josef opened the door of the bedroom, and found that the rubbish on the ground was still there. Looking at the empty bed, he guessed that Myra must have rested in the guest room.
He left the bedroom slightly drunk. He couldn't sleep in such a room! So he decided to take a rest in the guest room too.
However, it happened that the guest room that he opened was the one Myra was sleeping in. Maybe it was because she was so tired that she forgot to lock the door, or maybe she had been used to it that Josef would lock the door every night.
Looking at the faint light by the bed, Myra remembered that he made Myra fall down tonight. He wondered how she was hurt.
In fact, he was not that ruthless. He just couldn't save face tonight, so he said the opposite words in such a hurry to show that he didn't care.
Sometimes he really hated Myra's stubbornness. Women should pretend to be pitiful sometimes. It was not good to be too smart.
He was a little drunk. He felt at ease when he saw Myra's sleeping expression.
