At the pub, Christopher was dressed in a green shirt, sitting in the corner of the room as he sipped his beer while glancing at the time.
He emanated an aura of elegance and aloofness that drew women to him, but even as countless women walked past him, he gave neither of them a glance and instead waited patiently for his mate to arrive.
"What is he doing here?"
In the distance, Laura picked up her glass and took a sip from it as her gaze landed on Christopher.
She had come to the pub that night to drown her sorrows alone.
Initially, she thought that if she remained by Joshua’s side long enough, he would realize how successful and attractive she was and see that she was so much better than Luna.
She never thought that someone as handsome and successful as Joshua would turn out to be such a simp!
He loved Luna so much that he would not change his mind about Luna no matter what Laura said.
In Laura’s mind, if this were directed toward her, she would call this devotion, but if it was directed toward another woman, it was nothing but stubbornness and ignorance!
Because of this, Laura had come to the pub to drown her sorrows in alcohol.
She was devastated by her failure to seduce Joshua, but at the same time, she could not help thinking that it was Joshua's loss to miss out on such a good woman like herself.
She lifted her head to glance at Christopher and finally could not stop herself from walking over to his table. "Drinking by yourself, Dr. Roberts?"
Christopher and Laura were both the top performers in the medical field.
Christopher was more focused on drug research, whereas Laura was well-versed in clinical medicine.
Even though technically they were in different subspecialties, they were nonetheless among the best in their field and therefore had met each other on countless occasions before.
Christopher lifted his head to glance at her when he heard her voice. "Aren't you here by yourself too, Dr. Suess?”
