“They just like to joke. Don’t mind it. It’s my birthday today. They toasted me a lot of wine. If you don’t come again, I will be drunk.”
Seeing that I still didn’t speak, Jeff knew that I was unhappy. He turned around and scolded again.
“Say less of this next time. She doesn’t like to hear it.”
Over the years, Jeff often took me to such occasions.
In the past, I always thought that this was a sign of his attention to me and allowed me to integrate into his circle.
But now it seemed that in his eyes, I was just a servant who could resist drinking and a bodyguard who could sleep.
Jeff’s friends curled their lips, but didn’t say anything after all.
Just then, a figure walked in from the door.
She looked a little helpless, holding a gift box tightly in her hand, her fingers were a little white with nervousness and it seemed that it was her first time to come to such a bright and bustling place.
The moment she entered the door, Jeff beside me stood up suddenly, took off his suit jacket and put it on her shoulders.
“What are you doing here? Didn’t I say that I would find you after I finished?”
The moment she saw Jeff, the panic on her face turned into surprise and she handed the gift in her hand to Jeff.
“It’s almost twelve o’clock. I want to give you the gift before twelve o’clock.”
Just then, the teasing voices of those friends rang again.
“Oh, this is Miss Serena, right? Seeing is believing. She is such a cute little white rabbit.”
Jeff’s face darkened instantly and he grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it over.
“Put away your tricks. If you dare to scare her, I’ll kill you!”
Jeff’s reaction was too big and the chill emanating from his body was even more frightening and the whole private room instantly became quiet.
Seeing his reaction, I was a little dazed.
His friend just made a few jokes and he was so furious, fearing that Serena would suffer the slightest grievance.
And what his friend said to me just now was even more excessive, even though I was already unhappy, he just laughed and scolded a few words without any pain.
I lowered my head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
The air pressure in the private room was extremely low. I picked up two wine glasses, stood up, walked to Serena and handed one of the wine glasses to her.
“Miss Serena, nice to meet you. My name is Tyne.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Jeff took the wine glass from my hand and drank it all in one gulp.
