You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 661 Money Is Everything

Leon stayed in the shower for almost an hour. By then, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Lydia had been calling Michelle several times. Michelle didn't really care if they would be late for the party, but she was starting to get worried that something might have happened to Leon.

For a long time, Michelle paced back and forth in front of the bathroom. When she finally heard that the water stopped running, she raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Are you done now, Leon?"

"Yes, I am." A cold shower was exactly what Leon needed to calm down. He believed that it was because he hadn't had sex for a long time that he had desire for Michelle.

Leon reached for a bath towel and dried his body. He then put on his clothes and opened the door. Michelle had already changed her clothes. She now wore a white T-shirt and a black pleated skirt. Her hair was up in a bun, making her look more youthful than ever.

Leon's eyes roamed from her head to her feet, noting her bare legs. They were white and straight. Thankfully, he had dispelled all evil thoughts during his long shower.

He firmly believed that his unusual reaction today was a side effect of being abstinent for so long. If it was a different woman who flirted with him, he would have the same reaction.

But then again, Michelle didn't really flirt with him on purpose. He hadn't even noticed how he regarded her as a woman instead of a girl he treated as his sister.

The reason why he kept berating himself was because he had always treated Michelle like a sister. And yet he had an erection toward her.

Perhaps the cold shower was so long that he neglected such details.

"Have they been calling you nonstop?" Leon was drying his hair as he walked out of the bathroom. He passed by Michelle.

"Yes, they are waiting for us to have dinner." Michelle trailed after him. "Leon, do boys really take that long?"

Leon paused his ministration of drying his hair.

For men, size, length, and time were things that weren't discussed publicly. It wasn't really because of his dirty thoughts, but Michelle's last sentence could easily be misunderstood by other people.

Embarrassed, Leon cleared his throat and replied vaguely, "Well, not everyone, but I do."

Michelle was almost clueless about the affairs of men and women.

When it came to these things, she was like a blank piece of paper. Naturally, she didn't understand the meaning of Leon's words. "Well, it doesn't matter how long you take a shower as long as the water is cold. But if you're taking a hot shower, you might faint if stay too long in the bathroom. So you better not take a long one during winter," she said seriously.

"We're only midway through summer, Michelle." Leon looked at her and smiled. "Why are you thinking of winter so suddenly?"

Michelle stuck out her tongue playfully. "I'm just reminding you now. I'm afraid I will forget it when winter comes."

"But if you remind me now, then I might forget it by winter, too." Leon then casually hung the towel at the back of the chair and said, "Well, let's go. Don't let them wait for too long."

Michelle bent down to change her shoes and said, "I'll remind you again when winter comes."

"Okay then. That's a deal." Leon put on his shoes quickly. He opened the door and locked it behind them as soon as they were both outside.

They went downstairs where they hailed a taxi. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

They piled into one taxi that stopped by at the roadside and headed straight to the karaoke bar.

The Silverhall Nightclub was luxuriously decorated. There were all kinds of men and women. At this time, there were only a few people coming out of the nightclub. Most of them were still pouring in.

From a distance, Leon could already smell the alcohol wafting through the door of the nightclub.

He already knew what kind of a person the boss of the Silverhall Nightclub was. He had met Tim two days ago. He was a cruel man.

He didn't want to have anything to do with Tim, so he instructed Bryant to avoid any forms of contact with him. If he ever had any business involving Tim, he would quickly abandon it instead. He didn't want to get in any sort of trouble.

Unlike other entertainment venues, Silverhall Nightclub was run by Victor. He was Tim's right-hand man.

Managed by Tim, the Silverhall Nightclub was full of all kinds of people. A lot of dirty deals were done within its walls.

"Do you come here often?" Leon frowned. "Do you know what kind of place this is? You students should be singing in a karaoke bar and not here in Silverhall Nightclub."

"It's a high-end nightclub. It's a place for drinking, dancing, and singing," Michelle explained. "Debra's father is friends with the boss here. Because of that, she receives special treatment. She

doesn't even need to pay. She has a special booth for herself. However, she told us that we can't just run around. We can only stay in our own booth to eat, drink, and play."

Michelle's eyes were so clear. Leon was silent for a long time, only frowning slightly at what he had heard.

Debra welcomed them in person and led them to the back door. This way, they didn't have to make their way through the noisy dance hall and bump into some messy people. The staff respectfully greeted Debra as soon as they saw her.

It was only then that Leon felt relieved.

Debra pushed the door open and walked inside the booth. Soft music was already playing at the background, and the room was lit brightly. The others were already seated around the table where several delicious-smelling dishes were already laid out.

Debra said, "Let's have our dinner here. After eating, we can sing. Someone else will come and clean our table after dinner."

Now that Leon had a good look on Debra, he could tell that she was more than just a special customer around here in the Silverhall Nightclub. Based on how the staff here greeted her and the dining arrangement in front of him, she was more like a boss than a VIP.

If he didn't know that Tim wasn't even thirty years old, Leon would have thought that Debra was his daughter.

'The relationship between Debra's father and Tim is definitely not that simple.'

"Wow! There's so much food!" Michelle smacked her lips. "I'm so hungry. Come, Leon. Let's sit down and eat!"

"You're finally here! I have a wolf in my stomach," Aron said, looking sadly at the two of them.

"Really?" Debra said.

Aron raised his eyebrow. "It's true!"

"Take off your shirt. Let me see if you really have a wolf in your stomach," Debra teased.

Upon hearing that, Aron joked, "I'm sorry but I will only take off my shirt for my girlfriend. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

A look of disgust cross Debra's face. "Forget it."

Aron raised his chin triumphantly.

"Michelle, sit here." Lydia pulled out an empty chair next to her. Michelle immediately sat down on it, while Leon sat next to her. She said with a smile, "I'm sorry to keep you all waiting."

"It's alright. Aron was just joking around." Debra sat down as well. "Let's eat now. But first, we shall make a toast."

Each person already had a glass of wine in front of them on the table. They picked it up and raised their glasses for a toast.

As soon as his lips touched the glass of wine, Leon glanced at Michelle from the corner of his eye. 'Michelle is good at drinking. She doesn't even hesitate. It's as if she's just drinking water.'

After taking a sip, he put down the glass and reminded her in a soft voice, "Slow down. You shouldn't drink so much."

"Hmm." Michelle put her own glass down. It was already empty. "You didn't let me drink last time, so now I'm making up for it."

Leon was torn between laughing and crying. Most people tended to avoid drinking if they could.

"Don't worry, Leon. Michelle is good at holding her drink. The alcohol content for red wine is low anyway, so she can drink a whole bottle of it if she wants," Debra said with a smile.

Rainy added, "Michelle sure knows how to drink liquor. Back in our dormitory, she's the one who is good at drinking. I am good at singing, and Lydia is good at studying. Debra is the boss as she is the richest among us."

Leon seemed confused.

"Money is everything." Michelle smiled as she spoke up. Her warm breath fanned all over his face. It was like a light feather caressing his cheek.

Leon found himself stunned by her closeness, but he managed to smile at her.
