Chapter 038
Hunter’s P. O. V
Today has been truly another frustrating day in my life and I am honestly having an internal brain drain between my stomach and my head.
Chance stopped by the office and I sincerely don’t know how, but he convinced me to a night out with him.
Now I’m at the bar in a club drowning my self in various types of liquor.
On a Monday night.
I have a feeling deep down, that I will regret this later.
” So what do you intend to do about Jules and Mason?”
Everyone keeps asking what I intend to do like I can do anything, they’re far too gone to bring back.
And he calls her Jules too? Wow.
” What do you think?” I gulped down another glass with it’s flavor stinging my throat as it went down.
I gestured to the bartender for another refill.
” Walk up to Mason? Try another end for this approach” he said suggestively and I couldn’t help but laugh.
” You’re saying I should try to control Mason’s heart after he’s in deep?, I couldn’t even stop Iris from falling for him and she was directly under my nose”
I saw this coming and I clearly told Iris to back off, but she didn’t.
” You are not just going to sit back and watch right?” Chance actually looks worried about the whole situation at hand, it’s a shame I can’t do a thing.
” Chance look, I’ve tried my very best. I did all I could but it got me nowhere. Right now, I resign. I have a lot more things to do with my life than terminate her relationship” as much as it pained me to say it, it is the truth.
” What? Dude you’ve worked far too long and hard just to give up now” our glasses were handed back to us, full once again.
” I’ve made my choice” I swallow down my drink and request for another.
” No you have not. Bro, I think it’s high time you spilled the juice to them, Tell ’em the major reason why they can’t work. At least for now” Chance kept up his argument.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
I laughed again and a lot louder this time.
I think these drinks are beginning to get to me because I never would have reacted so loudly on a normal day.
” Hate to break it to you buddy, but they fucking know” I shugged another shot and signalled for more.
” Okay, I swear I didn’t tell anyone” he defended evoking another laughing response from me.
” I know you didn’t. Mason did”
” Mason?” He’s only more confused than ever.
” Mason knew all along. So if that couldn’t stop them what will?”
The music booming in the background fill my ears and I want nothing more than to forget everything just for tonight.
I should be on my tenth or eleventh shot and a drowsy feeling whirls in my head.
After a while, I had assumed Chance had dropped the topic but he speaks on it again.
” Are you sure this isn’t to spite you?”
” Huh?” Did I hear him say spite?
” Really, look at it. Mason knows your intents with his sister but you’re clearly hiding it from his Dad for a business deal, then he goes after your secretary and making no effort to hide it despite the risks”
He had a point, a very big and useful point but it wasn’t true.
I’ve watched them from afar, it looks realistic so far as I could tell.
That’s why I’m angry with her.
Despite everything I did she still went ahead and ruined my plans.
Being full blown happy while I try to piece together my remains.
” As much as I want to believe you, it’s not true Chance. I’ve seen them together”
He only nodded in affirmation knowing there’s nothing else to say.
” Alright. So…” He swung an arm around my shoulder and directed my body to look over at a spot. ” That chic in a blue crop has been sending lingering gazes this way” and he wiggled his brows at me.
I chuckled, glad that he had changed the subject and threw his arm off me.
” Dude, I have eyes for only Michelle”
He laughed back as we began our night of fun.
While I wasted myself, he kept sober to flirt with anything in a skirt.
======================
Iris’s P. O. V.
It was only a few minutes after midnight when my phone woke me up from my sleep.
The caller ID says Hunter, and I can’t understand why Hunter will be calling me at this hour from his bedroom.
Wait? Did he even come home last night?
” Hello?” Was the first thing I said after answering the call.
” Hello, Jules? Is that you? ”
This isn’t Hunter but the voice is awfully familiar.
” Err-Yes? Please who-” he didn’t let me complete before interrupting.
” Oh good. It’s Chance and I need your help”
Chance? With Hunter’s phone? Needing my help by twelve eleven am?
” How may I help you?”
” Jules, Hunter is currently too drunk to drive and I need you to come get him”
Drunk?
” He’s drunk?”
” Yes he is and can you come quick? Please?”
” Why call me? Hunter and I aren’t really in the best of terms at the moment”
He’s still with the attitude of last week by being unnecessarily angry with me.
” It’s not like you guys have good terms with each other” he mumbled.
” Fair point. So call someone else”
” No. You’re the only person who can come take him home right now”
” What about you?”
” I’m catching a cab home. We used his car”
” What of Michelle?”
” Based on the information you already know, calling Michelle out at this hour to come get Hunter is too suspicious”
He almost spat those words at me, so I believe Hunter let out a few things to him.
” What about Dylan?” I asked again.
” He’s not going to come” he replied bluntly like it’s plain obvious.
” How do you know? He’s here currently”
” Is the Dylan we are referring to the same as Hunter’s cousin?”
” Yes”
” Then he won’t turn up. Jules please”
” Whatever, where’s the place?”
” Thanks love. Gerrit street, Louiton avenue. Sal Paulo’s club”
” I’ll be there” It almost didn’t come out from my lip but it did.
” Hurry”
I groaned into the receiver before muttering a fine and closing up our call.
I needed Edward to drive me to the venue cause I needed an escort to such a place at this hour.
This is going to be a long night.
