Chapter 21 Run into Her at the Bar
Aurora didn’t want to dwell on her divorce now that Sion had promised to postpone it and only wished that she could get through these days without incident.
Sion still disappeared in the morning and reappeared at night. They barely met each other.
At the end of the workday, Aurora invited her colleagues to dinner.
She had been feeling embarrassed for a long time because Avada got in the way of her last colleague’s dinner party.
It was still early after dinner. Her colleagues were in a good mood, so they suggested going to a nearby bar and having a drink.
Naturally, Aurora didn’t want to disappoint them and thought that it would be OK going to a bar to relax.
The atmosphere in the bar was awesome, and everyone quickly felt relaxed amid loud music and fantastic lighting. And soon Aurora was less bashful.
“Come on, fill your glass!”
Luca Miah, one of her colleagues, was filling everyone’s glass.
When it was Aurora’s turn, she leaned to him and said loudly, waving her hand, “… I can’t drink, it’s not my thing. Go ahead.”
Luca said at the top of his voice, “It doesn’t matter. Now the biggest thing is having fun. It doesn’t matter how much you can drink.”
Abigail also supported what he just said, “Yeah! We drink together, it’s fun!”
Aurora said with embarrassment, “I think you guys won’t say that when I’m drunk.”
It was true-she would become obstreperous when she got drunk.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
After cracking some jokes, everyone hold a glass filled with alcohol.
It was difficult to refuse at this moment, so all Aurora could do was pluck up her glass.
After two rounds, they started to give a toast to her one by one to welcome her into the design department.
Looking at Aurora all the time, Alex handed her a bottle of water and asked, “Are you okay?”
Aurora whispered, “I’ll be drunk if I drink anymore… I’ll play mad by then!”
Alex smiled, “Don’t worry, I’ll get you home safe no matter how badly you play mad.”
Feeling a kink of frustration, Aurora curled her lip towards him, “Never mind. Let’s just say I’m willing to be drunk with my colleagues.”
Apparently, she didn’t want to seem like a loner when she just joined a new group.
After another drink, Aurora felt a gear in her brain starting running more slowly and more slowly and seemed to be getting stuck.
Getting dizzy, she became eager to laugh without reason and more talkative.
The colleague sitting next to her was shaking her body with the music. Inspired by her, Aurora stood up and pulled her straight onto the dance floor.
Meanwhile, sitting on a sofa at the back of the dance floor, Sion raised his head and took the last sip from the glass.
He got a glimpse of his watch and stood up to fetch his coat, “Let’s call it a day. We should go.”
Standing up from the sofa, Seth Harvey looked around and still felt unsatisfied, “Hey, every time I hang out with you, I have to go home as soon as we finished our drinks. Man, this is so boring!”
Sion ignored his complaint and turned to walk outside.
“Hey, hold on…”
Reaching out and taking Sion’s hand, Seth looked at the middle of the dance floor and asked rather doubtfully, “Do my eyes deceive me? Is the girl dancing there your Aurora?”
Sion stopped and looked back to the direction that Seth pointed, and he drew his brows immediately.
It was her. The girl shaking her body oddly in the middle of the dance floor was Aurora.
This was her first time dancing, so she didn’t know how to do it and just moved her body to the beat.
The kick of the drink nearly knocked her over, and the hot air in the bar made her face turn bright red.
She didn’t notice that Sion was staring at her with icy eyes.
“Oh my God… I’m throwing up…”
She got carried away with her dancing and tossed her head around, which made her feel groggy.
Alex wriggled his way through the crowd and steadied Aurora, “Do you need to use the restroom? Need any help?”
Aurora was a little out of her depth, so she looked up with a silly smile, “Oh, thank you!”
Alex paused for a second because of her smile, and then he hurriedly averted his gaze and carefully helped her walk to the restroom.
From Sion’s perspective, he could only see Aurora smile at this man, and then they acted intimately and went to the restroom.
“Whoops, interesting.”
Seth didn’t notice Sion’s sullen face and tight jawline, and put his arm on his shoulder and joked.
“Your sweetie impressed me, she’s so quick to pick up guys! Already got a plan B.”
Sion lowered his eyes and gave Seth a sideways glance, which made the latter feel a cold shiver of fear.
Seth still wanted to say something, but Sion had taken his hand off and walked towards the restroom.
At the same time, Alex carried Aurora to the doorway of the restroom and asked in a worried voice, “Can you get into there alone?”
“Yes!” Aurora nodded and said, “I’m okay!”
Seeing that at least she could stand up straight and her eyes were clear, Alex felt relieved and went into the men’s room.
After standing there dazing for a few seconds, Aurora closed the outdoor of the lady’s room and staggered inside.
Indecent noises were coming from the toilet stall next to the outdoors. Her mind was not quite clear now and it took her a while to realize what that sound was.
Then she walked into the innermost stall with embarrassment.
When Sion arrived, he could only see the closed restroom door.
Frowning, he took a step forward. At the same time, the music playing in the bar was just in time for the next song.
During that quiet second, he heard a faint noise coming from the restroom.
He blinked in disbelief, and then he felt a rush of fury.
What was she doing? How dared her?
Sion raised his fist and smashed it against the wall.
Pain calmed him down. He slowly clenched his bony fingers, and there were growing cold in his dark eyes.
After a while, the door of the restroom was pulled open from the inside.
Aurora just retched in the toilet for a while but didn’t throw up anything. Now she felt her whole head filled with blood.
Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were fogged with tears.
Her ruddy lips were also moist.
When Sion saw her appear with such an appearance, anger was surging up inside him.
He smiled because of intense anger and stared at the drunk girl in front of him unblinkingly.
Aurora took a few steps forward before she noticed him and asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”
Before Sion could answer, she shook her head and murmured suspiciously, “Eh… Am I drunk? Hallucinating? Why I can see two of you?…”
His Adam’s apple moved up and down, and the next second he lifted her with his hands.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
Aurora was carried on his shoulder, feeling her stomach churn.
So she started struggling with her hands and feet, “Who are you? Put me down! I’ll puke on you!”
Sion sneered, “Shut up.”
Although Aurora was drunk, she could recognize who he was because she knew his voice well.
So she didn’t struggle anymore. Subconsciously, she realized that this man was mad at her.
Sion left soon after, so Alex only saw their backs at a distance when he walked out from the man’s room.
He recognized the clothes Aurora was wearing, but he thought that man wasn’t like any of his colleagues here today.
He paused for a second and chased out.
But he didn’t meet a figure after running out from the gate.
Then he hurriedly pulled out his phone and called Aurora, but nobody answered the phone.
He looked at the screen as it went unanswered, and a feeling of annoyance rose in his mind.
Somehow, Alex thought there was something familiar about the man’s figure.
Who the hell was he?
