Samuel sat in front of the bar counter and drank the German Stout that he had just ordered in an irritated mood.
He was about to go home and take a good nap after seeing the president and the young madam off. However, he received a call from his mother on his way home.
He was in a good mood for less than ten seconds. After hearing that his mother urged him to get married, he wanted to weep but can not cry. His good mood was also replaced by irritability.
What's the f*ck!
At that time, he almost went on crazy!
It was fine that the president ridiculed him, but even his mother still wanted to add fuel to the fire. Get married? He didn't even have a girlfriend. Who was he going to marry? With the cases in the company?
"Well, I know, mom! I'm too busy, so that was..."
His mother was dissatisfied. "Busy again! You're busy every day! Do I have the chance to see you get married before I pass away?"
"Mom, don't curse yourself. You must live a long life"
"I don't want anything else. You'd better find me a girlfriend to get married and I'll be satisfied."
Samuel sighed. "You know that my president values me so much. So I must put my work in the first place, don't I? I'm really busy. How can I have time to find a girlfriend?"
But his mother did not talk nonsense with him. "You don't have to worry about that! I've got some girls for you. They're good girls, good- looking and initiative. Don't make up any excuse. You must be back tomorrow for the blind date!"
In the end, he had no choice but to agree to his mother's request. She was his mother and also his only relative in this world.
He and his mother had been dependent on each other for so many years. He knew that it was not easy for her to raise him alone, so he worked hard when he was at school, just to get a good university, and also to get a scholarship that could support the family.
He finally got to work. His mother was not in good health, but later she was even worse. So, even if his salary was not low, he didn't think much about dating. He just wanted to take it as it was. Later, he mortgaged to purchase a house. He didn't dare to date even more because he didn't have much money left.
However, he would never talk about this with his mother.
Therefore, he didn't go home directly. Instead, he came to the bar and wanted to get drunk to relieve his sorrow. Anyway, he didn't have to go to work tomorrow! Even there was a blind date, it would be considered after he woke up!
The ear-splitting music, the flashing lights, and the beer... Under such an atmosphere, his restless mood seemed to really be a little better.
His mind gradually became clear, and he felt much better. He also drank a lot of wine unconsciously.
In the end, he became drunk and began to chat with the handsome bartender behind the bar counter.
"Bro, why do you think people have to get married in this life?" He staggered to nod with the music with a glass of wine in his hand.
The bartender had been on such occasions for a long time. Naturally, they had seen a lot of people like Samuel. He did not take it seriously and smiled. "What's wrong? Did you break up with your girlfriend?"
"..." Break up? Who could he break up with?
The bartender saw that he was just smiling, but didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Don't want to get married?"
Samuel did not speak anymore, but looked in the direction of Josephine with a puzzled look.
The old man beside Josephine was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a thick gold necklace. He held a cigar in his hand and acted frivolously. He took Josephine in all the way and then went upstairs to the private room.
It was only when they went upstairs that Samuel saw it clearly. There was almost only a thin black belt on Josephine's back, and her skirt was so short. This kind of dress made her look like a woman who made a living by drinking and singing in a bar, even though she didn't like it, but she tried her best to resist it and even forced herself to smile.
He remembered that in the past, Josephine had everything. When had she been like this? At that time, her family was rich and she was also a little star, and Theodore was her boyfriend. If she met Mr. Huang in the past, she won't even give him an eye.
Samuel knew what she was like before, so when he saw her like this, he felt it was hard to accept. He only felt that the contrast was too big.
But this kind of mood only lasted for a few seconds, and then he turned back to drink his beer.
There was a saying, "Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you!" If her family hadn't gone too far and bullied the Young Madam so much, she would have been a pop star now!
When he was almost drunk, he was in a good mood. Of course, this kind of good mood was because he was drunk too much, so his mind was not clear. He stood up and was about to leave. However, as soon as he turned around, someone slammed into his arms. Then, the ''one1' reached out and tightly grabbed the clothes on his waist.
He frowned and wanted to push her away, but he heard the "one" saying in a hurry," Pretend to be my boyfriend!"
Samuel hummed out in hindsight. "What?"
"Kiss me!"
