Bob drove the car to the bar, opened the door, and got out of the car. Standing at the door, he stretched out his hand to pull me out of the car. With a palm hooked to my shoulder, he said to the man in the car with a hippy smile: "Uncle, excuse us."
Zack was silent all the way, which gave me a chill running down my spine, so when he raised his indifferent face, I lowered my head subconsciously. But I suddenly looked up at him as if thinking of something!
Black suit, white shirt, slightly loose neckline, messy black hair, and... unworldly handsome!
Wasn't this the man I met this afternoon?
He was Zack Glover, the deputy commissioner of the police station?
He glanced at Bob coldly, then turned around and opened the car door, got out of the car and got into the driver's seat.
I looked at the disappearing car, stretched out my elbow and poked Bob, and asked anxiously: "Why does Zack feel so cold? And he won't go in with us for the party?"
Bob stretched out his hand and scratched his head, explaining helplessly: "He's always like this. He's never had any social activities anywhere."
"All the newly appointed leaders tend to have some earth- shattering changes in the departments. Do you think he's gonna distrub our peaceful life at internal departments?"
Bob loosened his grip on me and went straight to the door of the bar: "Relax. Apart from being bad at dealing with people, Zack is very upright in all three aspects. As long as you don't touch his bottom line, there will be nothing wrong.
I chased him up: "Our work has no interaction anyway."
"That's right, but one day both of us will be transferred back to the crime squad. In addition to being the deputy commissioner, he is also the leader of the crime squad."
I was surprised: "What about Riley?"
"Deputy team leader." Bob tilted his head and smiled and said, "Emma, Zack's gonna come to you sooner or later!"
I wonder: "Why?"
Bob smiled mysteriously: "God knows."
When I just entered the bar, September saw us immediately. She waved her hand and shouted, "Emma, here."
The bar was very noisy. Although September's voice was loud, it caught no one's attention. Bob looked at the crowd and laughed, "What did you guys think this is, a brunch? You've only drunk two bottles for this long?"
Riley smiled and said, "We were waiting for you and Emma. I remember that Emma can drink quite a lot, so let's get wasted tonight!"
I shook my head and sat down to explain, "Riley, I have a physical problem recently. I'll drink with you next time."
"The disappointing Emma!" Bob murmured, holding up the wine glass and drinking it all at once: "Riley, let's drink all we want, Emma will be responsible for driving us home!"
September handed me a glass of juice, and then she played dice with a group of people in the police station. Bob lost every single round.
The officers happily handed him wine.
He never refused any of the wine handed to him.
September took me to dance on the dance floor after she was drunk. I looked around awkwardly. The lights on the dance floor were shining, and the people around me were immersed in my own world.
I gently followed her steps to swing.
After dancing for two minutes, I felt hot and pulled September back to the table. As soon as I drank a sip of juice, I heard a familiar voice: "You guys didn't invite me? I'm so sad."
Hearing the frivolous voice, I frowned and looked towards the direction of the voice, "It seems that I can see you in places of fun everytime."
Such as yesterday and today.
"Guess we are just meant to be!" Sean smiled, shook the wine glass in his hand and lowered his head to me, mysteriously saying: "I got someone you know at my table, wanna go over?"
Someone I knew?
It could only be Benjamin.
He came back from City B.
But he didn't contact me immediately.
I shook my head and said, "Thanks, I'll pass."
"Can I stay here then?"
I chose to remain silent and did not respond.
Sean glared at me and then sat beside September all the same, his palm touched her thigh, the latter gave him a cold look, and stretched out her hand to break his hand away!
Sean's face changed: "Woman, be gentle!"
September let go of him, and said with a smile: "I'll give you two choices, either leave your hands here or roll away numbly."
Sean shamelessly said: "Tsk tsk, you really are cruel, huh?"
Having said that, Sean still got up and left. After he left, Bob asked curiously: "Is he your friend?"
I thought about it and said, "Sort of."
Benjamin's brothers were more or less friends.
Bob glanced in the direction Sean was leaving and said lightly: "I met him in City B. He went to the police station to bail someone out."
Sean also bailed Benjamin out once, so I was not surprised, but Bob's next sentence was: "I was in charge of the case in the past few months, and the bail was a woman named Heaney."
Victoria Heaney was the first name that came to my mind.
I asked: "What did she dod?"
Bob explained: "Nothing serious. Just a simple Dili. The man that was hit went into a coma but was okay."
I nodded, maybe it was not Victoria, after all, there were so many Heaneys so it might just be a stupid coincidence.
But when it came to the party, it might seem like a party held in my name.
It should be said that it was a downtown area one kilometer away from Elysia.
I looked at the man beside me and said, "Sean is in a depressed mood now, and we are also implicated."
Benjamin's deep eyes looked at the brightly lit street in the distance. He took out his hand from his coat pocket and grasped my palm tightly. The warm feeling enveloped me and made my heart feel tight.
Benjamin's figure under the light and snow looked blurry and trance. I looked at him obsessively and said, "Benjamin."
The tone was lingering and affectionate.
"Huh?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, with a puzzling look on his face.
The alarm bell in my heart ran fiercely. I quickly resisted the impulse in my heart and concealed my feelings.
Benjamin squeezed my hand and walked across the street. He curled his lips and explained: "You know he is pursuing September. You shouldn't use September's marriage to stimulate him. That dude is stubborn. He wouldn't stop until he gets September."
I followed him, looking up at his side face and said in a daze, "He's not good enough for September, at least that's what she thinks."
"Really?" Benjamin glanced at me, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why are you so sure? Although Sean might seem like a broke playboy, he's got what it takes, trust me."
I nodded: "I just nknow it."
"Then let's make a bet." Benjamin was full of confidence in Sean. He suddenly grabbed my hand into his pocket and squeezed me tightly and said: "If Sean gets her, I'll grant you a wish."
I was surprised and asked: "No matter what?"
"Yeah, no matter what." Benjamin walked slowly: "But if you lose, you'd have to do something for me too."
I looked at the man in the light and asked, "What?"
"Take my shower for me for a month."
I was speechless.
This was the most shameless bet I had ever heard of!
According to my understanding about September, I knew I would win the bet. She would rather find a random man to marry.
Than be with Sean.
But I did not feel complacent because of the likely outcome of this bet, because Benjamin wouldn't give me what I wanted.
Whatever he said did not include love.
Twenty minutes later, we returned to the apartment. Benjamin stood at the door and stretched out his hand to gently dust off the snowflakes on my body. His dark eyes kept staring at me, and my face was blushing.
After a long time, his charming voice asked:
"Did you miss me?"
