Desperate Lovers

Chapter 197 Nothing for You to Concern.

It was only been a while since last time they met. Danis did not look well. He looked pale and had dark

circles around his eyes. A faint smell of alcohol spread from his body.

A glint of light gathered in his eyes when he saw Angela. “Angela? What are you doing here?” he

asked.

A big corporation like the Smith Group didn’t need to come to job market to recruit. Danis could not

focus on anything since he learnt that Angela and James were officially together. Jessica had to find

him a temporary errand.

“I believe I am not obliged to report to you my purpose of being here.” Angela frowned and walked past

him.

Danis quickened his steps and grabbed her hand from behind. He fixed his eyes on her and said,

“Angela, we need to talk.” He sighed, with helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

The middle-aged woman came with Danis remained silent and did not want to cause any attention.

“Danis, you have a fiancée. Don’t make things ugly in the public. Please let me go,” Angela said coldly.

Danis did not let go and lowered his voice, “I just want to talk. Is it too much to ask?”

“Yes, it is too much for me.” Angela shook his hands off. His touching made her feel disgusting.

Her force was so great that Danis nearly stumbled and fell over if it weren’t for the middle-aged woman

to steady him in time.

Angela felt annoyed to meet Danis in the job market. She just wanted to find something she could do.

She did not want to linger anymore and walked straight out. Danis said behind her, “Let’s just sit down

and talk once and for all. I will try to avoid you in the future.”

Angela stopped and turned around. She looked straight at him and said without any hesitation, “Sure.”

Just one talk to end everything? Fair deal.

Danis smiled bitterly and resentfully and told the middle-aged woman, “I’ll be out for a while. You take

over the remaining business.”

“Ok.” The woman replied. After a pause, she asked hesitantly, “Miss Jessica will come over after the

movie. If you haven’t come back then, how should I explain?”

Danis took a brief look toward Angela standing next to him. A flick of struggle crossed his face and he

said, “Just tell her I am with the manager. We have some business to discuss.”

The woman nodded then left.

Angela gave a short and derisive laugh. Denis’s face darkened and said frowningly, “Let’s go.”

Angela followed him out of the job market. He opened his mouth several times but no words came out.

Angela pretended not to have noticed and walked to his car. Danis sat at the driver’s seat and Angela

opened the rear door and stepped in, sitting right behind the driver’s seat.

“Why not sit next to me?” Danis looked at her through the rearview mirror.

Angela glanced at him and said with sarcasm, “Who knows what Jessica has done to your car. I don’t

want to lose my life without any notice. The rear seat is much safer. ”

“You are talking mean!” Danis gritted his teeth, angry but could not do anything. Angela looked out of

the window and remained silence.

Danis didn’t understand. Why Jessica was so nice to Angela, but Angela never felt remotely grateful.

“This is my car. She won’t do anything to my car no matter how much she hates you,” He said.

“Who knows?”Angela turned toward him and retorted with an ambiguous smile.

Angela did not know whether to call Danis stupid or a good brother for being played with by Jessica like

this.

“Angela, don’t go too far!” Danis grabbed the steering wheel tightly, looking furious.

Angela withdrew her smile and said with a stony face, “Let’s just talk in the car and don’t bother to find

another place. Next time you see me, just turn around and leave.”

Danis’s face changed and stopped arguing with Angela. “Just go to the bar we used to go,” he said

instead.

“It won’t be opening at such an early hour.” Angela frowned.

Danis started the car and said, “I’ll make a call to the bar’s manager.”

“Don’t bother. Just a coffee shop or fast-food restaurant will do.” Angela simply wanted to stay away

from these two. To stop him from bothering her ever again was the only reason she agreed to go out

and talk with him. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Danis took a deep breath to steady his anger, “If you want me to leave you alone, just listen to me this

once.” Angela remained silence since then.

All Danis’s bitterness, anger and resentment turned into helplessness.

The bar was located in the city centre and took them 30 minutes to arrive. Angela got off the car and

saw the “CLOSED” signed hanged on the door. Danis opened the door for her and said, “Just get in.”

Angela took a look at the familiar sign of the bar. A flicker of emotion crossed her face. She walked

pass Danis and went in.

The bar was empty at this time. It looked almost deserted without people crowded inside. The bar

tender played with the bottles and smiled at Angela, “Long time no see!”

“Yeah.” She had not visited the bar for two years, but everything remained quite the same. She sat next

to the bar, feeling the old memories coming back. The feeling fleeted by, the unfamiliar eyeing from the

bar tender made her wondered why she smiled. All she knew was that it was not because of

happiness.

The bar tender smiled at Danis and said, “Mr. Smith, you have been here more often these two days

than the past two years!” Danis did not answer but took a glance at Angela. Angela remained

impassive but her face darkened a bit.]

“Angela, Margaritas as usual?” the bar tender asked. Angela nodded.

“Same for me.” Danis said.

“As old times” The bar tender said playfully, “Whatever Angela ordered, you want the same.”

“You booked the bar only for two Margaritas?” the bar tender quickly changed the subject as Danis

looked gloomy.

“Make it six and go away.” Danis said.

The bar tender laughed, “Okey dokey! I was off at 2 am last night. I can barely keep my eyes opened

now. Better get back to sleep!”

None of them spoke anymore. The bar tender focused on the drinks and made six Margaritas

efficiently. He put the drinks in front of them and said, “Just show yourselves out and lock the door. Get

to go now!”
