Then, they turned on the warm yellow recessive lights. Although it didn't bright up as much, at least the room didn't seem as arousing as it was.
Andrea was also in the room, sitting quietly next to Austin. Meanwhile, Josiah also brought a girl with him. She was wearing a knee- length blue skirt, and she seemed familiar to me.
Then, I realized that it was Chloe. I couldn't help but frown, because she was sitting so close to Josiah, and they seemed intimate.
I couldn't exactly describe how I felt. Although Josiah didn't know about Monique's pregnancy, she-pregnant —was hiding from him in the countryside. Yet, Josiah seemed like he was in a relationship with another woman.
Most importantly, Chloe wasn't someone as simple as she looked. She was infatuated with Hendrix before, but now she had her eyes on Josiah.
With so much to think of, I sat down with them. Hendrix and Josiah began to talk about the company's affairs, and I couldn't join the
conversation. I looked at the few people in the room, and I must admit that although Andrea was annoying, she was a proud girl. She never took the initiative to socialize when it was unnecessary.
On the contrary, Chloe had been very heedful to keep pouring wine for the men when their glasses emptied. She was smiling all the time, and she would even chirp into the men's conversation from time to time.
The disgust in Andrea's eyes was more intense as time went by. After another pour of wine for Austin, Andrea got up and snapped at Chloe, "Miss Hammer, go out and buy me some light snacks. I didn't eat much for dinner, and I'm a little hungry now."
The three men didn't pay attention to it, but Hendrix looked at me and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"
I thought for a moment and shook my head, "I'm still full." At that, Hendrix got back to his conversation.
