"What did she say? Is it fire that makes you as nervous as cat, uh?”
"Sherman's crying, Billy had cheated on her and she caught him red-handed." She frowned.
'They had only been married not long ago and this happened; what more, right on New Year’s Day. Was there a misunderstanding?'
Slightly restraining his brows, Mark got up too; he muttered, "Come on, I'll go with you."
Summer nodded.
They arrived at their usual gathering place-a premium room in Club Nightshade.
The moment they entered it, Summer saw Sherman sprawled on the counter, her shoulders twitching, followed by intermittent sobbing.
Grace, on the other hand, was merciless with her words, keeping their glasses full. She never knew how to comfort anyone. If not, she wouldn't have called Summer.
Summer was like her savior; upon seeing her, she signaled with her eyes for Summer to comfort Sherman.
Sherman had been crying since morning for nearly two hours. Grace was panicked and shaken but could only watch helplessly.
Glancing at Mark behind, Grace curled her red lips and pointed to the room next door. "They are next door."
She was referring to Billy and Charlie. Mark nodded slightly. He gave a quick look at Summer, reacting quietly, he left the room.
Summer patted Sherman softly on the shoulders, as if coaxing a child, but she didn't utter a word.
Grace, who was always impatient, couldn't take it any longer. Her eyes gestured to Summer. 'Letting her cry unstoppably isn’t going to solve the problem!'
Placing her finger over her mouth, she signaled at Grace so that she would keep quiet.
