"Bevis..."
After sitting uneasily for a while, Consuela couldn't sit still any longer. She then changed her seat with another woman beside her, and sat down next to Bevis, looking embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Glancing at Nicole and Jacob, Consuela didn't know how to tell him the truth. "I'm sorry. I didn't know Jacob was here. I..."
Originally, she thought that there would be an awkward meeting between her and Bevis tonight. But now, it seemed that how were she and Bevis was second, but the key point was that Nicole and Jacob.
They had a deep grudge than that between she and Bevis.
Bevis shook his head. "It's not your fault. Maybe that's the thing between them."
Both Bevis and Consuela didn't know that Nicole had gotten back together with Jacob. What they were very worried about and anxious with, which was totally different from what Nicole and Jacob thought.
Nicole didn't expect that she would meet Jacob at this moment. They had quarreled with each other last night, and Jacob didn't listen to her explanation. They were somewhat embarrassed with each other.
But what made Nicole more uncomfortable was the scene that she saw Jacob hang out with other women.
Although she had seen Jacob's fiancee and heard about his affair, and she knew that Jacob must have more than one woman, it was much more hurtful than hearsay when she saw it with her own eyes.
She was unwilling to regard him as a playboy who liked playing with women. But now he was sitting two meters away from her, intimately hugging a woman in revealing clothes. How could she not think about it?
Her heart sank little by little as she heard the woman's chuckles.
Maybe, that young Jacob had already been killed by her in that man-made misunderstanding.
"Mr. Jacob, it's so boring just drinking. Let's have some fun." That woman put her hand on Jacob's shoulder and her plump breast touched his arm.
In the past, Jacob seldom hung out with women. For one thing, he was not a womanizer, because he hated the trouble of these delicate women. For another, as the young master of the Gu family, many people tried to get close to him in all kinds of ways, and it was one of the ways to send women to him.
But today, when Jacob glanced at Nicole who kept her head down, a cruel smile appeared on his lips. He looked at the woman with a good temper and asked, "what do you want to play?"
The woman didn't expect that Jacob would be interested in her idea. She felt flattered and pouted as she moved closer to him and boldly suggested, "how about playing the dice? Whoever loses will be punished. You either drink or kiss."
A touch of disgust flitted across Jacob's eyes when he looked at her face with naked desire. But he still smiled and nodded. "Okay."
"Great! Come on, let's play this. "
When the other women heard this, they were not satisfied with it at once. They all came up to Jacob and said in a spoiled tone, "Mr. Jacob, It's unfair. You are better to Niki. We are so wronged. We want to play as well."
Nicole, who had been silent all this time, even thought it was very noisy in the bar, she still heard the people talking around her.
At last, she turned around and saw Jacob surrounded by women.
Jacob sensitively felt the gaze, but he did not look back at Nicole, but pretended not to see, raising his eyebrows and smiling.
"Okay, let's have fun together."
"Wow! Mr. Jacob, v5! "
Soon later, the girls took the dice and began to play with them. Some of Bevis's other friends also got involved and the atmosphere became heated.
Only Nicole, Consuela and Bevis remained silent. They sat in the booth sullenly, lost in thought.
The expression on their face seemed to say that this woman was really unreasonable!
"Nicole..." Noticing that Nicole didn't look good, Consuela stood up and grabbed her wrist.
Nicole's eyes swept across Consuela, and then rested them on Consuela's face. Calmly, she said, "I'm sorry, Consuela. I have to leave now. Have fun!"
Hearing Nicole's words, Consuela glared at Jacob angrily. But she was still afraid of the Jacob's power. No matter how angry she was once, she didn't dare to scold him directly.
Nobody in the bar dared to do this, let alone her.
But even though she didn't dare to get mad, it didn't mean that she didn't need to be angry in her heart. She was already pissed off by the playful way that Jacob and those women were playing.
Even if he really changed, he wouldn't be so dissolute in front of his former lover!
"How about I go with you?" Consuela sighed heavily and looked at Bevis apologetically. "We're leaving now. See you next time."
"No, thanks." Before Bevis could say something, Nicole refused Consuela. She knew that it was not easy for Consuela to get such a good chance and she should not waste it because of her, so she pushed Consuela back to her seat and said to Bevis, "You haven't seen each other for a long time. Have a good talk. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."
Speaking of this, it was impossible for Bevis to be a peacemaker. He glanced at Jacob, who didn't even look up, and nodded to Nicole.
Nicole gave him a forced smile and walked out.
When she walked to the curtain, she heard Jacob's voice.
"What? Are you leaving now?"
