Chapter 7
"Why didn't you ask Jade for it face to face last night? I gave her a set of apartments, half of which are yours." Damon walked down the stairs and stood in front of me. Much taller than me, he was so intimidating. Has Damon gone mad? I frowned. Why was he talking about these boring things now? In a year at most, he would propose a divorce and plan to give me a large amount of property. Why should I care about a set of apartments? "I've accepted it, she's not the first and won't be the last. I can't get rid of everyone." I rushed to finish my sentence and left. I should have asked Iris to get the supplements. As I walked out the door, I felt Damon's icy gaze disappear. I put the bottles of pills in the back seat and told Iris to leave. When I got home, I gave these bottles to the housemaid. My mom was cooking, which was one of her hobbies. My dad's car was back. When he saw me at home, he handed me his phone, "What the hell is this?" When I saw the news, ["Hot actress" Jade denied any romance with the president of Coleman Co. after being seen entering a hotel together.] If these two really had any improper relationship, it should not be called a romance, but an illicit relationship. the phone went back to my father and comforted him, "Dad, these are all fake, you know Damon is a businessman, and sometimes he has to socialize." My father said, "You're still defending him!" I was not defending Damon, I just didn't want my father's health to be affected by his anger. I moved my arm and said, "Then you go teach him a lesson!" I rolled up my daughter and gave him a complete change!" sleeves. was seriou at first, but he laughed when I joked. "You are always joking?"
I hugged my father's arm and explained to him, "Dad, don't be angry, think about how much Coleman Co. has contributed to our city, and you'll be happy." My father changed his attitude, "You have a point, not long ago Damon donated new tracks to several schools. He is really caring for the community and giving back to society." I agreed with him. As we were talking, my mom had prepared dinner, all my favorite dishes. Mothers were the best. The lunch was warm and cozy, but my dad had to go back to work, so I only had the afternoon with my mom. A few of my mom's friends came over to play cards. Four women sat at a table, chatting and playing cards. I lay on the sofa and read the news about Damon and Jade. Jade explained that she and Damon were just friends. Because Damon was planning to invest in a drama for her to be the female lead, they met often, mainly to discuss filming. It seemed Damon had invested some capital again. He was indeed very generous in this respect, which was also the simplest and most effective way to keep a mistress. I fell asleep on the sofa unconsciously, until my friend Luna called me, I woke up. Looking at the time, it was probably time to go to the bar again. Luna shouted happily on the phone, "Come and drink, there are hot guys!" I asked, "How hot?" Luna exaggeratedly described, "Very hot, hurry over, Clara is already here, Sofia is attending a performance in another city, so she can't come." Ever since they found out I was divorcing Damon, my friends had been taking turns inviting me out, either for dinner, karaoke, or shopping, always keeping me busy. I knew they were afraid that I may have seemed calm on the surface, but was actually very hurt inside, so they wanted to distract me. I did need this kind of help, otherwise I couldn't help thinking about the past. I said, "I'll change and be right there." I hung up the phone, Luna had already sent me the address. Half an hour later, I left the house full of energy, ready for the night life. Luna had been to almost every bar in the city. She knew where the good drinks and hot guys were. I had to admit, the guys Luna
brought this time were very attractive, a bit like some celebrities. "Ugh!" I felt a little drunk and suddenly wanted to throw up. Man, it was a total bummer. Seeing a bunch of handsome dudes, I couldn't help but compare them to Damon in my mind. I didn't interact with anyone else, and just kept knocking back drinks. Damon, either in looks or persona, was a cut above the rest. "Excuse me, I need to hit the ladies' room," I got up and headed towards the bathroom. One of the handsome guys quickly followed and reached out to steady me. I didn't resist, relishing the gentle and considerate care. Once in the bathroom, I totally threw up. After rinsing my mouth and splashing some water on my face, I came out to find the handsome guy still waiting for me. He asked "Can we exchange numbers?" "What's the point of exchanging numbers?" I feigned ignorance. "So we can stay in touch," he answered straightforwardly, "And if you ever feel lonely, you can reach out to me anytime."
