This was the first time they met after the blind date.
After adding as friends on social networking software, most of time they chat with messages.
Anthea felt a little sorry, "Sorry, I had so many operation. I'm too busy!"
"It doesn't matter!" Eric looked at her, "Anthea, can I call you by your name? I think since we met through a blind date, we can get to know each other better from now on. It's too strange to call each other Miss Lee and Mr. Chafee!"
"Well, okay!" Anthea agreed with him.
Eric eagerly said, "Shall I cut the steak for you?"
Anthea shook her head. She thought it was not suitable yet, "It's okay, I'll do it myself!"
Eric was a very gentle person. He didn't show any displeasure and took the initiative to talk to her, "Anthea, have you visited alma mater after getting back?"
"Yes." Anthea nodded. She went to Victor Zanon's lecture before.
Eric kept saying, "Have it changed a lot? I haven't been back for a long time. If you have time some other day, we can go back together. I miss our college days very much! If you hadn't gone abroad at that time, maybe we would have known each other earlier... But it's not too late now!"
Anthea kept smiling.
She couldn't remember what Eric said after that. She just nodded occasionally in accordance with his words.
At the end, Eric proposed, "Anthea, do you want to see a movie with me?"
Anthea hesitated for a moment and refused, "Maybe another day. I'm a little tired!"
"Well. You doctors were the hardest, especially surgeons. I'm lucky that I majored in iconography, and I just had to deal with medical equipment now! Next time, let's watch a movie together!"
"Alright." Anthea said.
Eric smiled, "Then please allow me to take you home. So that you can rest early!"
"Rest early?" Anthea thought in her heart.
Anthea glanced outside the window. She probably wouldn't be able to rest early.
It was already very dark outside, and the whole city was ablaze with lights.
The silver car stopped outside the dormitory
building. Anthea held the rose bouquet in her hand, "Eric, thank you for your flowers and dinner!"
Being thanked by his goddess, Eric smiled happily, "You're welcome. It's my honor!"
Anthea waved goodbye to him and watched the car leave.
When she turned around, a car with its bright headlights on full beam opened came at her, making her unable to open her eyes.
But Anthea still saw who it was clearly.
She took a deep breath, turned around and walked quickly into the apartment building.
Hearing the steady footsteps behind her, she sped up as if she wanted to flee into the building.
Just as she was about to enter the building, someone pulled her from behind.
Suddenly, Anthea was pulled by a force.
Her back was hit against the corner of the wall.
She didn't feel much pain, but her heart was beating fast.
Shrouded in the shadow, Anthea looked up and was absorbed into the deep dark eyes. It was quiet but shocking, and she could feel storm was coming.
The smell of alcohol was pungent.
The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol,
and she could feel it with all her senses.
If his getting drunk in the restaurant could be counted deliberate, Adam had really drunk too much this time. Anthea could feel that his eyes were scarlet.
He never drunk too much.
