Rosemary took the elevator to the bar and asked, “Hello, do you have a hangover soup here?”
“Sorry, we only produce wine here, not sober soup. You can go to the drugstore outside to buy it!” The bartender said with a smile.
Rosemary smiled and turned to walk outside.
It’s 10 o’clock at night, and young people who love nightlife were now officially beginning their glamorous lives.
Rosemary was walking down the street alone. On the road, many lovers were leaning on each other and whispering, as if they took everything next to them as air.
“Sir, is that Miss Harris walking down the street?” Aaron asked, pointing after Rosemary.
Nathaniel was being upset that Rosemary hadn’t talked to him these days. When he heard Aaron Becker’s words, he thought he was joking. “How can she still be here at this late hour?” he said lazily.
Aaron Becker turned to Look at Nathaniel, “Boss, I’m not lying to you! See for yourself if you don’t believe me!”
Nathaniel, believing what he was saying, looked out the window and found no sign of Rosemary. He could not help shouting at him, “Do you need a beating? How dare you make fun of me!”
When Nathaniel said there was no one, Aaron Becker looked down the street, and found that there was no sign of Rosemary. He was shocked.
He literally saw Rosemary. How could she be gone in the blink of an eye?
“Sir, I did see Miss Harris. Shall we go down and take a look?” Aaron Becker kindly reminded him.
Seeing how sure he was, Nathaniel wanted to go out, too. If it was Rosemary, then he could have a real conversation with her.
With that, Nathaniel asked Aaron Becker to pull over on the side of the road. He got out of the car first and told him to park and find him.
Rosemary made a big circle and finally found a pharmacy right here near the mall.
Walking into the drugstore, Rosemary searched the shelves for something to sober up.
“Can I help you, miss?” The salesman asked with a smile.
Rosemary looked up and said, “Do you have anything to sober up?”
“Yes, please follow me!” The salesman went to the medicine rack in the back and gave her a box of sobriety pills.
Rosemary went to the register, paid, took the pills and walked out of the store.
“Rosemary, it’s really you!” Nathaniel exclaimed.
“What are you doing here?” Rosemary asked curiously.
Nathaniel saw that she had a box of pills in her hand. Nervously, he reached out and touched her forehead. “Are you sick?”
Rosemary patted his hand away, pursed her mouth and said, “I’m fine. I didn’t see you when I was really sick.”
“Rosemary, I’m sorry! I really didn’t know this was happening, and besides, I really had nothing to do with them!”
Nathaniel rushed to defend himself, afraid that Rosemary would ignore her.
Sniggering…
Looking at his anxious appearance, Rosemary wanted to laugh. “I'm just kidding! Who asked you to got me slapped for no reason!”
Nathaniel was relieved that she wasn’t angry anymore.
“Rosemary, if you need anything from now on, just call me, and I’ll be here, okay?” Nathaniel’s beautiful mouth curled slightly.
Rosemary took few steps back when he said that, “Forget it! I’d better stay away from you! I can’t afford to keep a bright pearl like you.”
