Chapter 210
"Kate, what’s wrong?" Henry asked again as he tried to reach her.
"Stay back," Kate instructed. She made a gesture that she’d take a step back in case Henry tried to approach her again.
Henry halted his step but got confused instead by her reaction. He also had a lot of questions lingering in his mind, mostly about how he could be in this room, as he was a hundred percent sure that he was sleeping in that VIP room in the bar.
’Could it be that Mindy somehow contacted Kate and told her that I got wasted?’ Henry guessed. ’Or maybe she got into contact with Michael, and he carried me here. No way Kate could carry me, especially when I’m drunk as fuck.’
They were stuck in this position for a while. Henry tried to approach his beloved, but each time he got closer, Kate would retreat for one step as if she wanted to keep a safe distance from him.
"Can you explain what is happening here?" Henry asked. He tried to shake his head again to relieve his dizziness and the feeling of a bad hangover. "I remember being in the VIP room inside Spyre 80 with Mindy. I got wasted last night, and I’m already in our apartment when I wake up."
"Mindy..." Kate’s heart sank to the deepest pit when Henry mentioned the woman’s name. "I see that you’re very familiar with that hostess, huh?"
Henry was still trying to recover from the hangover. Added to his confusion, he was clueless as he dug himself deeper into the pit.
"Yeah, we dated in Uni," Henry said without hesitation, as he saw Mindy as a friend after thoroughly discussing how to be a better man for Kate. "She accompanied me throughout the night, and we watched movies and drank iced whiskey. Guess I had too much of that."
