No one can understand this suffering when everyone was the audience, and you were the clown.
It was like stripping yourself naked and exposing yourself in front of everyone, which hurt like hell.
Eileen did not know how she made it to her seat. She looked pale.
Luke frowned and fetched a glass of warm water and put it in front of her.
Since Luke wasn't happy, he put the glass s o hard and it gave a loud sound. And all those gazes around made him feel even worse.
Eileen picked up the glass without saying a word.
She had reminded Luke that if he brought her here, she would become a joke at the party.
It was a business party, so all attendees were businessmen and their companions.
Some people were greeting Luke. So, he just left Eileen alone in the corner and went to them.
He was like a star, and many people gathered around him. They were chatting with a glass of wine in their hands.
At this time, a woman wearing a blue dress came down.
And she also wore blue earrings. She looked very beautiful and elegant.
She seemed to have a good relationship with Luke. She walked over, embraced him, and whispered in Luke’s ears.
After a while, the woman, whose name was Nina Riddle, invited Luke upstairs, "Long time no see, Luke. Can't I talk with you for a second? I promise it won’t take long. If you refuse me again, I will feel embarrassed and angry!"
Hearing her words, Luke chuckled.
Luke put his hand around her slender waist and his body was pressing against Nina’s.
Then they went upstairs.
Eileen felt her heart was torn apart.
The terrible pains were spreading over her body. She lowered her head and drank water, trying to hold her tears back.
And after Luke left, instead of peeking, others started looking Eileen up and down and talking about her.
