Chapter 308
“Are you seriously hoping he’s the kind of man who’d break his promise, dump me, and run to you instead?” Serena asked.
Chloe could barely think straight anymore.
The alcohol was hitting her hard. All she could really feel was Serena’s hand wrapped around hers, a comforting warmth that surrounded her like a soft blanket. For a fleeting moment, Chloe seemed to understand why Keith had fallen for someone like Serena.
‘She’s warm. The kind of warm that makes you believe, no matter what happens, she’d take it in stride,‘ she thought to herself.
She was just about to say something when a shadow suddenly fell over them. Both Serena and Chloe looked up and realized they’d been surrounded at some point.
“Well, well. Drowning your sorrows alone tonight, ladies?” The guy in front whistled as he sat down at the table, completely uninvited.
“We’re not looking to share a table,” Serena said calmly. She could tell right away these guys weren’t here with good intentions. But it was just her and Chloe tonight, and if things got physical, they’d be at a clear disadvantage.
“Come on, it’s a bar. We’re all here to have fun. Well, maybe make a few friends. No need to get all uptight.”
He turned to one of the guys behind him. “Go grab my special bottle. Let’s give these beautiful ladies something to celebrate.”
“Got it, Duke! Be right back!”
People nearby were giving them a wide berth. Clearly, this guy, Duke, wasn’t someone ordinary. Even the bartender didn’t dare come close.
“Care to join me for a drink, gorgeous?”
Chloe didn’t have much rationality left in her system. The booze, the mood, everything was off. And this kind of pickup line, especially delivered with such smug arrogance, pushed her right over the edge. She gave Duke a sweet little smile.
Just as he was caught off guard by it, she picked up her glass and flung the entire drink in his face. “You think you’re worth our company? What a joke.”
Serena was stunned. She had been trying to handle this in a softer way, hoping to talk their way out of it. She didn’t expect Chloe to go straight for a fight.
Duke was shocked too. No one in this area had ever dared stand up to him, and now this girl just threw a drink in his face? ‘Feisty, I like that.‘
“Words are one thing, sweetheart. But throwing drinks? That’s crossing the line,” he spoke.
Sensing trouble, Serena quickly reached under the table and called the police. She also sent a message to Keith.
