Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 124

The light was dim, and the music was extravagant. The eyes of men and women were blurred. They were swaying their bodies in the middle of the dancing floor.

With a confused look on her face, Nicole leaned forward and whispered in Consuela's ear, "aren't we going to run into Bevis? Why are we here?"

Consuela turned around and winked at Nicole. "That's because Bevis is here!"

"What?"

So the party Consuela mentioned which Bevis was going to attend was held in a bar?

"Come here."

After luring Nicole into a booth, Consuela gestured the waiter to bring them two glasses of wine.

Nicole didn't like the noisy atmosphere in the bar. If it weren't for Consuela, she wouldn't have stayed in this place for even a second, which made her very annoyed.

As a quiet person, Nicole didn't understand why so many people liked to stay in the bar. Didn't they feel tired of being noisy?

"Did you see that? That's the table reserved by Bevis and the others." Consuela shrugged and pouted.

Nicole looked in that direction and saw a booth which was wrapped in quilt. Crystal curtains were hung around the booth, so she couldn't see clearly who was in it.

"Are you sure Bevis is there?" Nicole asked with uncertainty.

"Yes, I'm very sure," Consuela answered with a nod

"Are you going to say hello to them?"

"Of course not! As I said, it will be just an encounter. It won't be dramatic if I went there so directly? " Said Consuela scornfully.

Nicole was speechless, "..."

With an cunning smile, Consuela said, "just keep watching. I'll give you a good performance."

---

In the booth, Jacob was sitting next to Bevis, who was along with some of his new friends and female friends.

"Let me introduce this man to you. He is Jacob Gu, Mr. Gu. Have you heard of him?" Bevis put his arms around Jacob's neck and introduced him to them.

Jacob nodded to others with a smile, regarding it as a greeting.

He was so calm, which made the others couldn't stay calm at all. Men's eyes were full of admiration, and women's eyes were burning with admiration.

Looking at the women in the room restlessly, Bevis blinked and said, "Mr. Jacob is single now. Who wants to make a move? Come on!"

"That's enough!" Jacob glared at Bevis.

As they were familiar with each other, Bevis didn't worry about that Jacob would be angry, so he arranged a woman to sit beside Jacob to serve him cigarettes and wine.

Jacob took it and drank it.

Under the impact of the alcohol, the crowd gradually loosened themselves. They propose a toast to the guests, and began to tell dirty jokes.

A few moments later, Jacob's phone rang.

It was his mother.

"Excuse me, I have to answer a call. Please continue to play." Jacob put down his glass, grabbed his phone and strode out of the bar.

After a while, Bevis stood up and walked towards the toilet.

---

"Coming!" All of a sudden, Consuela adjusted her seat and sat up, fixing her eyes on one side of the road.

Nicole followed Consuela's gaze, but didn't see anyone.

"What is it? Bevis? "

Consuela nodded and said, "he went to the toilet and will come out soon. Don't sit here anymore. Get up and go to the bar counter. I'll call you up later. You play it by ear."

Nicole couldn't help admiring Consuela who kept staring at the toilet for so long time.

But that's right. No matter where Bevis sat, he would go to the toilet after drinking.

"He is out! Hurry up! "

With that, Consuela stood up and walked towards a table with her cocktail in her hand. After taking a few steps, she looked confused. Turning around, she accidentally bumped into a person.

"Ah! I'm sorry! "

Consuela spilled the cocktail on his T-shirt. Although he didn't see the stain in his black T-shirt, she still apologized and took some tissue from the next table to help him wipe his shirt.

"It's okay." A clear male voice rang out.

Consuela froze as she raised her head to take a look at the man.

The man with a smile was stunned the moment he saw Consuela's face.

After they stared at each other for a long time, Consuela spoke first.

"…… Bevis Lin? "

Bevis nodded his head, "it's me, you... Consuela Bai, did I make a mistake? "

Shrugging, Consuela said, "no, you are not. It's been so many years that you still can recognize me. I thought you already forgot me."

"How is that possible?" Bevis looked at Consuela and asked, "did you come here alone or with your friend? Do you want to come over and sit with us together? "

With a grateful smile, Consuela said, "that's great. We are just worrying about our seats. I've been looking for seats for a while. You are saving us."

Then she waved her hand in the direction of the bar counter, indicating Nicole to come over.

The smile on Bevis's face froze as the moment he saw Nicole.

It never occurred to him that Consuela's friend would be Nicole.

When Bevis saw Nicole walking up to him, he was stunned for a while, and then spoke out Nicole's name coldly, " Nicole Du. "

"Bevis, long time no see."

Although Bevis didn't like Nicole, he couldn't drive her out as he had already sent the invitation. So he brought Nicole and Consuela to his booth.

At that time, Jacob hadn't come back.

Bevis gulped down the wine. He was worried that when Jacob came back and saw Nicole sitting here, he might get furious.

After all, back then, when Nicole and Jacob broke up, it was so decisive.

He lowered his head and when he was thinking about how to make it up, the people around him began to stir up trouble again.

Realizing that something was wrong, he looked up suddenly and looked forward.

As he expected, Jacob had come back.

He stood outside the booth, staring straight at Nicole who was in the booth. He frowned, and his eyes were as cold as ice.

With worry, Bevis stood up and was about to explain. But before he did that, Jacob looked away, walked in as if nothing had happened and sat back to his seat.

"Oh, Mr. Jacob, what took you so long?" The woman, who was feeding Jacob, saw him sit next to her and immediately got close to him.

Jacob's face softened. Although he didn't respond to her flirtation, he didn't refuse it.

He didn't turn his head to look at either Consuela nor Nicole, not to mention to greet them.

He acted as if he didn't know Consuela and Nicole.

Consuela was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Jacob.

Seeing Jacob being so intimate with that woman, Consuela couldn't help but clench her teeth. She glared at Nicole angrily.

Sure enough, the smile on Nicole's face faded.

Her body trembled slightly as if she could not bear it any more
