My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 77

MAYBE HE REALIZED this too and just obeyed the command of his dad to choose Elliesse. It is also not a joke to lose everything he worked for just for Clarence and me.

I shook my head as hate and enmity welled up in my heart.

My eyes fall again, but I regain my strength. I quickly wiped away the tears that I wanted to drip and tried to calm myself.

Eventually, I found myself wandering around the city. I was driving with no direction, and I didn’t know where I was going.

Until I passed Peter’s restaurant, where he took me, I no longer bothered to park my car and get inside.

I ordered a panzanella and pizza margherita. I suddenly felt hungry as it was served to me while it was still smoking.

I started eating while waiting for Brigette to join the stage. I heard from some customers that she would sing tonight.

I was enjoying my food when I heard a familiar voice near me. When I looked at it, I did not make a mistake; Jocko was the one approaching me.

“Margaux!” He looked so surprised. The whole troop followed him, and the only one missing was Lawrence.

I just reciprocated with a frugal smile before glancing at Cindy with a broad smile on my face.

I could do nothing but partake of their table. After all, there is no reason for me to avoid them. Lawrence and I were the only ones in dispute, and the troops were not involved.

The night deepened, and the vocalist started for her first song. We chose to sit at the round table near the stage and to have a more comfortable drink.

“Hello, guys?!”

I was startled from my seat when I saw Peter in his red jacket and white T-shirt underneath, denim pants and white shoes also fit his plump thighs.

“Peter!”

Everyone except me who chose to look down on my tequila sunset greeted him.

“Where have you been? You really look like a businessman,” said Cindy.

“Just busy at work,” he said in a cheerful voice. I noticed he was rubbing his neck before sitting next to Jocko.

Since we are just opposite each other, I decided just to ignore him.

“It looks like you’re working really hard? And I heard you’re dating a new vocalist named Brigette?” Jocko teased him.

“Please, introduce us!” I even heard Jocko’s tease continued.

“You already know her, don’t you?” I heard his answer.

Because of what I heard, I looked up, and at that point, our eyes met. His eyes were dark, but there’s so much light in them.

His lips curved a bit, but also quickly turned his gaze to the stage. As he did, I also glanced at the stage where Brigette was already singing.

I pursed my lips. She sang very well. Her voice was very pleasing and effective in attracting the audience. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail. She was dressed simply in a black spaghetti strap top with a black leather skirt and black boots.

I bowed because I felt the lines of the song penetrate my heart. I look back at Peter, who is staring at me now.

I looked into his eyes, and I saw nothing but pain. Am I right? If I’m wrong then, what?

“Bottom’s up!” That look was only interrupted when Santino shouted.

“Peter, introduce Brigette to us!” Jocko said again that he did not want to let go and was obviously just bursting.

He did nothing but stand up to go to the stage and called Brigette.
