Previously, Elodie had been treating Casey arrogantly. After hearing what Casey said, she was immediately stunned. In her opinion, no matter what, Casey wouldn't give up such a good opportunity. However, now, Casey refused her without even thinking about it. She was embarrassed.
"What...What are you talking about? Repeat it to me!" Elodie was angry, her chest rising and falling.
Considering her to be unreasonable, Casey didn't answer. He got around her and was going to go upstairs.
Elodie approached Casey and stood in front of him again, saying angrily, "I kindly invited you, but you dare to refuse. Who do you think you are? Don't think highly of yourself. You're but a toy boy kept by someone!"
Casey immediately narrowed his eyes, staring at Elodie and showing a strong air of forcefulness. Elodie was so frightened that she was immediately not angry anymore.
Seeing that they were at daggers drawn, Nova was somewhat anxious. She hurriedly came close to them, grabbed Elodie by her arm and said apologetically, "Casey, I'm really sorry. It's I that want to invite you to hang out with us. Elodie was out of line, offending you. I apologize to you for her. I'm sorry. Forgive her, please."
Hearing it, Casey was no longer angry and spoke to Nova in a calm tone, "I have an appointment with someone else tomorrow, so I can't hang out with you. I'm sorry."
Nova nodded. She felt a sense of loss. However, seeing that Casey was still nice to her, she was relieved.
After saying that, Casey didn't waste time on them, but went upstairs.
Clearly finding that Casey treated her differently from Nova, Elodie was even more annoyed.
When talking to her, Casey was obviously impatient; however, when talking to Nova, Casey was very polite. Therefore, she felt that Casey deliberately found fault with her. Besides, because of it, she was more convinced that Casey had an advance to Nova.
The reason why Casey was not nice to her was that she was not nice to Casey. However, she had never realized that.
"I'm so angry! This self-righteous guy really thinks highly of himself. Who really wants him to go with us? He is being ungrateful! Nova, see? This guy has an advance to you. Just now, if it were you that asked him to go with us, he would possibly have agreed!" Elodie said angrily.
Nova gave Elodie a glance with a frown and said, "Well, Elodie, when you talked to him just now, you were being offensive. It's normal for Casey to refuse. Moreover, he has told us that he has an appointment tomorrow and is not free."
"Why can't I be offensive to him? He's but a toy boy. He should be grateful for my being willing to talk to him. It's impossible that he could treat me in that way without paying a price. Tomorrow, I'll ask Dyer to teach this reckless guy a lesson!" Elodie shouted while staring at the stairs.
Nova was helpless. Finally, she sighed, turned around and went back to her room.
In the next evening, after coming out of Fudan University, Casey hurried to Dream Paradise by taxi.
Yesterday, after helping Casey get rid of those thugs, Walker enthusiastically invited Casey to his bar, saying that he, as a local, should entertain Casey.
Originally, Casey didn't want to agree. However, Walker was too enthusiastic. Moreover, Walker had helped him. Therefore, it was appropriate for him to firmly refuse. Therefore, he agreed to come to Dream Paradise tonight.
He happened to be tense after looking for Edith for days. He could relax a bit by going to the bar and drinking with Walker.
When Casey was on his way to Dream Paradise, a group of young people had gathered at the door of Dream Paradise.
These people were led by a strong young man who was 1.9 meters tall. He was exactly Dyer, Elodie's classmate, the rich second generation. Besides, in their class, he was influential. It was said that he had dated more than a dozen girls since he was in College. He was really a playboy.
At this moment, Elodie and Nova arrived at the door of Dream Paradise. Both of them were wearing make-up and were dressed up, attracting the attention of many people.
Seeing them, Dyer put on a smile and came to greet them. After greeting Elodie, he stared at Nova and said, "You're so beautiful."
Nova politely smiled at Dyer. She didn't want to be too enthusiastic about him.
"Wait here for a while. Someone hasn't arrived yet. We'll enter the bar after everyone is here." Dyer turned around and told his classmates.
At this moment, Elodie approached Dyer and asked, "Dyer, I have a piece of important news. Do you want to hear it?"
Dyer stared at Elodie, smiled and asked, "What's that?"
Nova was not far away from Elodie and was chatting with other girls. After turning her head and giving Nova a glance, Elodie said, "Someone has an advance to Nova."
Dyer's face was immediately dark. He was determined to have Nova as his girlfriend. Moreover, in his opinion, when he was going after Nova, no one was eligible to go after Nova. Therefore, hearing what Elodie said, he was naturally unhappy.
