Gluey Love Between Us

Chapter 8

However, he wanted to drink that night, despite the fact that he had just gotten stitches on his forehead.

Normally, rich people like Victor Alwynn liked to drink at high-end bars.

But ever since he was inexplicably drugged at a hotel bar seven years ago, he absolutely loathed that sort of place.

Now he liked to drink at some fine dining restaurants.

Even if he was drinking with other businessmen for work purposes, he would choose to do that in the hotel he owned.

Once he started cherishing himself more, he understood that not everyone would treat him truthfully.

The people around him would flatter him in a hypocritical manner for their own gains, which disgusted him.

Victor took a deep breath and exhaled. A few strands of his hair flopped onto his forehead. He seemed lonely and helpless.

Eden followed Jasper to Prestige Tower, which was located in River City. This was the venue for the piano competition.

Jasper parked his limited edition motorcycle outside of the building.

Eden got off the motorcycle. She glanced at the bloodstains on her dress and frowned.

She glanced at Jasper and said worriedly, "Jasper, look at me. I'll scare Ricky if I go in like this."

Eden was more mature and charming than seven years ago.

Young Eden was just an innocent and inexperienced young woman.

But Eden had gradually changed after working hard for a few years. She was emanating a charming and elegant aura. Many were attracted to her due to her incomparable charm.

Within seven years, like a caterpillar that had gone through a metamorphosis, she had transformed into a dignified woman.

Jasper took off the helmet and revealed his handsome face.

He was wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt with simple patterns. He looked youthful, lively, intelligent, and fashionable.

He looked at the bloodstains on Eden's white dress with a disgusted expression.

Jasper raised his arm and glanced at his wristwatch. He said loudly, "Eden, we're late. It's almost seven o'clock now. It's already halfway through Ricky's competition."

"What should we do? My luggage hasn't arrived yet, and there is no clothing store nearby." Eden looked down at her dress. The hemline was covered with bloodstains.

Ideas flashed across Eden's mind. She was a fashion designer. The reason she came to River City was for a month-long work assignment at the headquarters.

She smiled slightly. To her, it was not a difficult problem to solve.

She quickly looked up at Jasper and asked, "Jasper, do you have a pair of scissors?"

Jasper instantly knew what Eden was going to do. He quickly took out his motorcycle key and opened the trunk of his motorcycle. He then took out a pair of red scissors and handed it to Eden.

Eden held the scissors and smiled confidently.

She bent down and cut along the hem of her bloodstained dress, turning it into ruffles. After she did that, the front of the dress became shorter than the back, but it did not look strange at all. The shortened dress made her legs appear longer and slimmer. She instantly became sexier and more attractive.

Eden nodded with satisfaction. A woman could be gentle, cheerful, languid, and carefree, but she must not be unkempt!

Jasper looked intently at her and smiled from ear to ear. "Wow! Eden, you're indeed a great designer. You have salvaged this blood-stained dress."

Eden returned the scissors to Jasper and said with a smile, "Let's go, Jasper. We have to go in now, or else we can't make it in time."

"Yes!" Jasper quickly put the scissors back into the trunk.

They hurried into the building. The elevator happened to be on the ground floor. After they went in, Jasper pressed the button to head to the twentysixth floor. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As soon as Eden got out of the elevator, she heard melodious piano music. Eden could tell that her beloved son, Ricky, was playing the piano. She walked faster toward the competition venue.
