Chapter 198
Violet’s heart sk ip ped a beat, and suddenly she understood where the other person’s relentless courage came from. However, the profile picture and the nickname did seem to match Patrick’s usual style. She quickly added it to her contact list and changed the nickname to his original. name, Patrick. As soon as she changed the name, she received a message. with a smirking emoji from Patrick via WhatsApp. Violet was somewhat speechless.
Violet texted. [Mr. Hersey, are you mocking me?]
With a few frowning emojis, Patrick replied, [When did I mock you?]
Violet fexted. [Patrick, are you from outer space? The meaning of that emoji is similar to showing sarcastic emotion. Do you get it?]
Patrick replied, [Not quite…]
Violet continued. [Well, then. Probably, the outer space village where you are from is less civilized, so you are new to the internet world!]
In the top-floor CEO’s office, Patrick couldn’t help but suppress his laughter when he saw this message. He suddenly realized that Violet was different from usual when she was online, a bit… funnier! Her speech was more direct!
Just after Violet sent a message to Patrick, she suddenly found herself added to a group. The group name was “The Wild 4.” In the group, there were four people, her, Megan, Patrick, and Robert.
This group was created by Robert. As soon as he created it, he sent a series. of emojis.
A message from Robert started the chat. [Hello, everyone!]
Just after he sent this, a line of text appeared in the group’s messages showing that Megan had left the group chat. Violet knew that Megan was not in the mood and didn’t want to interact with Robert. She took a look and also left the group. The group now had only Patrick and Robert left.

Robert texted. [Patrick. Your babe and her best friend are not giving me any face!]
Patrick replied, [Do you even have any face? You go ahead and have fun by yourself!]
As soon as Patrick sent this message, it showed on Robert’s end that Patrick had also left the group chat. Now, the group had only Robert, the lone ranger! Robert was left speechless, what kind of people were they? It was not fun at all!
Patrick left the group chat and sent a message to Violet separately. [Let’s have dinner together tonight!]
Violet did not reply.
Patrick sent another frowning emoji before the text. [Do you have something to say? I’ve already told my brother about it! I want to introduce him to you!]
Violet reacted this time. [Thank you, Patrick, but I really have plans tonight and can’t make it!]
Patrick replied, [Up to you then!]
Violet saw his message and knew that he was upset again. She couldn’t help but furrow her brows, reluctantly edited her message, and explained it tactfully, [I really can’t make it tonight. My friend is going through a tough breakup, and her emotions are not good. I appreciate your kind. gesture, but let’s do dinner some other time!]
Seeing this message, Patrick’s mood improved slightly, and he immediately replied to her, [Alright, we’ll reschedule for another day! And also… drink less!]
Violet replied, [Sure, I’ll pay attention to it!]
Violet had finally settled things with Patrick and started working.
After work in the evening, Violet accompanied Megan for a light meal. Ast Megan had a poor appetite, Violet didn’t force her, and they both had a

few bites. Then they got into Megan’s car and headed to the new bar opened by Gabriel. On the way, Freddie called. Violet glanced at the downcast Megan and the low spirits in her eyes, and she chose not to answer the call. However, Freddie persisted and continued to call. Violet couldn’t help but feel a bit headache about the situation and finally answered.
Her tone was somewhat weary. “Freddie, I’m busy right now. Is there something you need?”
Freddie’s voice was gentle and carried a faint smile. “There’s nothing specific, I just wanted to invite you to dinner tonight. Is that okay, Violet?”
Without thinking, Violet directly refused, saying, “No, I have plans for tonight!”
Freddie’s tone seemed a bit disheartened. “Is it… your boyfriend?”
Violet shook her head. “No, it’s with Megan!”
Freddie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. “I see. Then go and accompany your best friend. We can have dinner together another time. However, it seems like I’ll be dining alone tonight. I was supposed to have dinner with my brother, but he stood me up, and you’re not available either!” Freddie’s tone had a hint of an unexpected petulance.
Upon hearing Freddie, Violet’s eyes flickered. She remembered Freddie’s brother, who had been described as a cold and handsome young man by him. She furrowed her brows and suggested. “If you don’t want to dine. alone, you can invite Miss Tyler. She’s a good choice!”
Freddie’s breath seemed to hitch, and his voice sounded somewhat stiff, saying, “Are you still thinking about what happened back then?”
Violet’s voice had no emotion. “You’re overthinking it. I just thought Miss Tyler would be a good option. I have to go now, let’s talk another time!” After saying that, Violet hung up the phone right away.
Normally, Megan would say something about Violet and Freddie’s matters, but this time she remained silent, sitting quietly in the car as if she had detached herself from the world. Finally, they arrived at Gabriel’s bar.

Violet glanced at the name of the bar, “Williamson’s Bar.”
As
soon as they entered, Gabriel came over with a smile. “Vivi, feel free to enjoy the drinks with your friend tonight. All drinks are on the house!”
At this point, one of Gabriel’s friends interjected. “Gabriel, you’re not being fair! The pretty ladies get free drinks, but we only get a 50% discount!”
Gabriel turned around and glared at him. “Take a look in the mirror before you complain. Do you look as good as Vivi?” The other party burst into laughter!
Gabriel found a corner for Violet and Megan and went off to tend to his work.
Megan remained silent the entire evening, drinking continuously. Violet didn’t try to persuade her, she just kept her company in silence. She decided to refrain from drinking alcohol. If Megan got drunk, at least one of them had to stay sober to take care of her.
It was around nine o’clock. Megan drank too much and headed to the restroom, but she didn’t return for quite some time. Violet got up and decided to check on her in the restroom. As she walked towards the restroom area down the corridor, she suddenly saw two people carrying a man and rushing towards the bar’s back door. Violet’s pupils contracted. She was contemplating what to do when she noticed that the person being carried had a purple earring, and the purple light from it was t winkling. under the corridor’s lights.
