The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1231

"Hello, Cassie. What are you up to now?"

The female voice on the other end of the line belonged to Gamora Jiang, Cassie's college classmate.

"Oh, Gamora, it's you! It's been a while. I'm here at home. So, how are you, and what made you think of me today? Is there something you want to say to me?" Cassie rattled off.

"I just wanted to say that I missed you so much. So, you're at home. You must be free then. Would you like to come out and join us? Let's have some fun!" Gamora Jiang replied. She was happy to hear her friend's voice and excited to invite her over.

But Cassie was hesitant. After a while, she asked curiously, "Have what kind of fun? Where are you now?"

There was laughter in Gamora Jiang's voice as she said, "You'll know once you agree to join us. Come on! Let me send you the location. You must come!" Her friend was persistent, and Cassie felt tempted. But before she could ask any more questions, she heard Gamora Jiang hang up.

The abrupt end to their conversation made Cassie more curious. In answer, her phone vibrated, and a WeChat message flashed on the screen.

She opened the message, which indicated Gamora Jiang's location. Her friend was in Seven Nights.

The name was familiar to Cassie. Seven Nights was a famous Karaoke bar in the city. During their college days, Cassie used to have Karaoke nights with her classmates regularly. But she had only been to Seven Nights once, although that visit left her with a lasting impression. With all its equipment and decorations high-end, everything offered in the place was not cheap. So, she never had another chance to go back to the place.

"When did Gamora start going to bars like that, spending that much money?" Cassie asked herself. 'Ah, I remember someone said she was dating a rich man. That must be why she's able to spend that much money, ' Cassie thought.

Thinking about Gamora Jiang's invitation, she suddenly realized something. She was single now, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go there alone.

While Cassie was deciding whether to go or not, her phone vibrated again.

There was another message from Gamora Jiang. This time, it was a short video showing how she was having a good time at the bar.

The place was packed. There were happy boys and girls, wearing make-up and colorful clothes, singing and dancing crazily.

As she continued to watch the video, the angle of the shot shifted, and the next scene that came onscreen had Cassie dropping her mouth open. On a large table, bottles of wine were piled high, forming a pyramid.

As soon as Cassie caught sight of a figure passing by on the screen, her eyes froze, and her pupils dilated.

"Hold on... That figure. I'd recognize that figure anywhere! It's Nick. It must be him!"

She couldn't believe her eyes. At first, she had doubts and thought it was only an illusion. Perhaps, she thought it was him because she missed the guy so much recently. To make sure, Cassie played back the video and focused on the frames when the figure started to show up.

"I'm right! It's him! It is Nick!" Cassie murmured excitedly.

Though she based her identification on just a silhouette, the woman strongly believed it was Nick. It had to be him!

Acting on impulse, Cassie jumped to her feet and quickly walked to her closet. She spent a very long time finding the right outfit to wear. At last, she finally chose a brand-new suit she hadn't worn before. But it was her favorite, and Cassie remembered buying it for a date.

Holding the suit in front of her, she imagined herself wearing it, going to the bar, and showing up in front of Nick. A smile crossed her lips.

'Nick, wherever you are, I will always find you! Wait for me. I'll be there soon, ' Cassie thought to herself.

Ten minutes later, Cassie was wearing a suit with a tight pink skirt. Before heading out, she checked herself in front of the mirror for the last time.

It was already midnight.

In Seven Nights with its flashing neon lights, however, the party was only starting. Boys and girls continued flocking inside the busy and crazy bar. They were all looking for fun tonight.
