Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 201

Looking at the sea of cars around her, Blanca stood by, at a loss, like a stranger in a foreign city. She didn’t understand why she was so angry. Maybe because it wounded her dignity and things that were most important to her.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, Blanca walked into a bar. The bar bustled with people. Lights shone brightly and loud music filled the air.

“Hello, Miss. What would you like to drink?” a waiter asked loudly.

Watching men and women swinging on the dance floor, Blanca managed a smile. She sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. She took a sip. Wine slipped down her throat into her stomach. The wine was so strong that it almost brought tears to her eyes.

While Blanca was staring blankly at the dancers, a man sat beside her. She frowned, as she just actually wanted to be alone. But when she stood up and planned to find a new proper seat, the man seized her hand.

“Where are you going?” said a voice Blanca knew.

Blanca took a closer look at the man. Then she went pale. “Wha-what are you doing here, Jim?” asked Blanca in surprise. She seemed to be a little drunk and brighter color came into her face. She looked at Jim and swayed a little, still clutching the edge of the table for support.
