Violet shook her head, put her gaze back on the computer, and started busy working.
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Violet first went to the kindergarten to pick up the two children and drove them to Jessie’s home, letting Jessie take care of them. Then she took a taxi to the Sunrise Hotel.
At 7:50, she arrived at the Sunrise Hotel.
As soon as Violet opened the door of the private room, she heard Phoebe's light and fluttering voice, "Violet, you are late!"
"I'm late?" Violet walked over, raised her mobile phone, and pointed to the time on it, "Isn't it eight o'clock? It's not eight o’clock yet. Why am I late?"
Phoebe shook the red wine glass, staring at her with a smile, "I did say eight o'clock at the beginning, but I changed it to seven o'clock later. I sent the notice to our chat group. You didn't see it?"
Violet pursed her lips, "Sorry, I didn't join that group!"
"Is that so?" Phoebe asked the others with a surprised expression on her face, "You guys didn’t invite Violet into the chat group?"
"No, the group is full!" someone replied.
Phoebe smiled embarrassedly at Violet, "Sorry, I thought they have already invited you in."
Seeing Phoebe’s fake smile, Violet twitched the corners of her mouth, "It's okay!"
At this moment, she knew everything.
The group was full? They got Phoebe's instruction from the beginning and deliberately didn't invite her in. But now Phoebe deliberately changed the time in the chat group, the purpose was to make her late, so as to make something difficult for her!
Sure enough, as soon as Violet pulled the chair away and took a seat, Phoebe placed a bottle of red wine in front of her. "Violet, although it is not your fault to be late, you were still late anyway. How about drinking one bottle of wine to show your apology, okay?"
Sure enough! It was coming!
Violet said inwardly, then pushed the red wine back to Phoebe, "Director Hunt, I'm sorry, I can't drink."
Phoebe didn't expect that Violet would refuse her so directly, then her face suddenly became gloomy. "What do you mean? Look down upon me?"
"Of course not, it's just that I feel uncomfortable today. I ate two cephalosporins, so..."
While talking, Violet took out a box of cephalosporin from her bag and put it on the table.
Looking at this box of cephalosporins, Phoebe was so angry.
She never expected that Violet, the bitch, would have eaten cephalosporins by coincidence!
"Director Hunt, you see, I can't drink. But I can still drink juice. How about I drink juice?" Violet looked at Phoebe who was opposite.
Phoebe pulled a long face and replied, "No need!"
Juice?
What juice could make people get drunk?
"Thank you so much!" Violet smiled and put away the cephalosporin.
This cephalosporin was not that she specially prepared, but she had always had this habit.
In abroad, she would often go out to parties with her teacher. Drinking was unavoidable at parties. After a long time, there was something wrong with her stomach. Later, under George's suggestion, she started to carry a box of cephalosporins with her so that she didn't have to drink.
During this meal, Phoebe was unhappy. Other people cared about her emotions, so naturally they couldn’t be happy. The meal was very depressing. Only Violet was very satisfied.
When they almost finished eating, Violet got up and went to the toilet.
But as soon as she walked outside the door, a tall figure suddenly sprang out from the men's toilet next to her, grabbed her wrist, and pushed her against the wall.
The sudden change shocked Violet. Just as she was about to scream, the man covered her mouth.
"Shhh, don't make any sound! Do me a favor, or I will kill you!" The man warned in a hoarse voice.
Violet immediately did not dare to move, nodding.
