My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 23

Rachel looked at the direction he pointed to. They were just in a position to see the people that would come in and out of the restaurant. She noticed a beautiful woman in a white coat just behind the door, who stood tall and elegant as she asked the waiter.

A smile played at the corners of her mouth. She tilted her head a little and said, "Here she comes."

Following the waiter, Lea walked until familiar faces became recognizable. Her eyes almost glittered from excitement, she beckoned with joy.

Rachel's face brightened up with a warm smile, but Eric surprised her when he reacted more intensely than she did. He stood up when Lea came close and gave her a warm hug.

Lea stood still for a second, almost frozen. Her eyes widened from the shock. But she recovered quickly and hugged him back. Eric said to her flatteringly, "Beautiful Lea, how come you become more and more beautiful?"

Lea's mood brightened up entirely after she heard Eric's compliments. She patted him on the head and said, "You are so sweet, young man."

"That's what he says when he sees beautiful women," Rachel butted in to give Eric a hard time.

Eric, who was caught off guard, protested, "Rachel! How can you say that?" ■3

"Alright, alright!" Lea tried to mediate the two. "Oh please! I enjoy hearing our handsome young man praise me. Rachel, give me a hug."

Rachel smirked a little and stood up to hug the woman with open arms.

"Welcome back!"

It had been months since Lea left.

Although it was the first day of her holiday, her heart was not something that could be satisfied with just a meal.

After dinner, Lea didn't wait long to take them to a bar.

Rachel didn't like these kinds of places very much, but Lea and Eric preferred a lively place. She didn't have any option left but to go with them.

In Rachel's eyes, it seemed like all the bars were the same. Even the atmosphere was similar in all of them, except for the decorations.

After they entered the door, waves of rock and roll music that had flooded the room welcomed them. The deeper they got inside the bar, the crazier the vibrations became. Even the air shivered with music from inside out.

Lea was so thrilled that she almost cried out. The bar was so lively that it seemed like some festival.

Rachel tucked her hands inside her pockets and followed them silently. Her eyes wandered and a cold expression isolated her from the crowd.

If she was ice, then Lea was fire. Strangely, the two were best friends. ■3

Lea belonged in such a place. She let her hair down, which was tied up in a ponytail. Eric was dazzled while he watched her take her coat off that revealed a stunning black vest.

His eyes carefully watched her from the bare shoulders to her breasts, and down to her fair and flat stomach.

And then she walked gracefully in front of him. Her slim and well-defined waist resembled a fairy's. Eric fought the urge to throw himself at her.

When she looked at him with her eyes, every cell in his body trembled and begged to make out with her, but he didn't dare to.

Lea turned her head back, her hair angled in a flawless arc. She smiled as if to say that she was ready to party, then handed Rachel her coat.

She put a hand on her lips and blew Rachel a kiss. She winked at her and said, "Babe, I'll leave my coat in your care."

Rachel pursed her lips, holding Lea's coat. On the other side, Lea was on the bar counter. She waited for the waiter to attend to her, and when he did, she pulled herself closer to his ear and asked for a seat.

The waiter nodded and walked forward to help them find a seat. He beckoned them to follow him.

Rachel followed them as she looked at the distant lights. The more they went inside, the more the vibration overwhelmed them.

The music was loud, the crowd was wild, the lights were crazy, and the dim spaces that the lights passed occasionally were the best protection for all ■3

of the people.

They went through the crowd of beautiful ladies that did not seem to tire from all of their dances. When the waiter stopped to walk and beckoned them to their seat, they thanked him before they sat down.

But as they rolled through the crowd, Lea and Rachel caught the attention of other people in the bar that whistled to them. People were very thrilled and enthusiastic. The night was warm and wild, but Rachel wasn't.

Rachel's job probably had something to do with her attitude. She didn't like to be on such occasions where alcohol put them together like a pack of wild animals.

The scent of perfume filled the room. It looked smaller than it really was because everything was compressed. The awful sight looked like a virus in Rachel's eyes.
