Chapter 34

However, before the words had completely fallen, he froze and stared at me blankly, saying, “Esmeralda?”

As soon as I saw Johnathan, I felt flustered. I quickly looked around, afraid that Reynaldo might also be here.

Johnathan saw through my thoughts and laughed, saying, “Don’t worry, I didn’t come with Reynaldo.”

I breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a faint smile, saying, “Mr. Dunlap misunderstood. Whether Reynaldo is here or not, it has nothing to do with me.”

“Oh…” Johnathan nodded, smiling at me with a knowing look.

At this moment, the woman beside him protested and coquettishly tugged at him, saying, “Oh, Mr. Dunlap, what are you doing? They just bullied me.”

“Go away, go away!” Johnathan disdainfully brushed her hand aside.

Lavonne chuckled on the side.

The woman was dissatisfied, twisting her slender waist, and her voice became even more coquettish: “Mr. Dunlap, what are you doing? I’ve already said it, they bullied me, and you still won’t help me vent my anger.”

Johnathan laughed and pointed at me, saying to that woman, “Do you know who she is?”

The woman looked confused and asked, “Who is it?”

“She was my brother’s woman, let alone bullying you, even beating you up would be fine.”

Lavonne couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

The woman got angry and started to act even more coquettish, shaking Johnathan’s arm.

“Go away.” Johnathan impatiently shrugged her off and grinned at me, saying, “Esmeralda, since we coincidentally bumped into each other, let’s grab a drink together.”

I shook my head, “No, we are going back. You have fun.”

“Tsk!” Johnathan exclaimed in frustration. “Esmeralda, do you really dislike me that much? Why do you always leave as soon as you see me? Or is it that you’re afraid I’ll take advantage of you?”

I was about to say something when he interrupted, saying, “Oh, don’t worry, you’re Reynaldo’s woman, I may be a flirt, but I won’t touch you.”

I was speechless; Johnathan really spoke without any scruples.

He suddenly shifted his gaze and glanced at Lavonne again, then said to me, “You’re not afraid that I have… intentions towards your friend, are you? Well, you can rest assured, your friend has a bold and masculine demeanor, not the type I like.”

Lavonne stared with her eyes wide open and said, “You’re the one who looks so proud, your whole family looks proud!”

I shook my head with a smile. Don’t be fooled by Lavonne’s hot temper; she only knows how to say this one sentence when arguing with others.

Johnathan chuckled, “Yes, I have a confident look on my face, so do you dare to have a few drinks with me?”

I had just wanted to stop Lavonne, but she patted her chest and said, “I will drink as much as I want, who’s afraid of you!”

I quickly grabbed Lavonne’s arm and whispered, “Let’s go, don’t drink with him.”

Lavonne glanced at Johnathan’s proud, handsome face and said, patting my hand, “Don’t worry, watch me make him drink until he’s knocked out and no longer feeling proud!”

Lavonne was going to have a heavy drink with Johnathan, and I couldn’t just leave her alone. Lavonne and I followed Johnathan and arrived at his exclusive private room.

However, as soon as the private room was opened, I saw a room full of people inside. I thought to myself that it was not good, so I turned around and left.

Johnathan grabbed me! “What are you doing? We’re already at the door, everyone is watching. If you keep going, you might embarrass yourself a bit.” Johnathan smiled at me like a fox.

And I didn’t have to turn around to feel a cold gaze falling on me. I turned my head stiffly, and sure enough, I saw Reynaldo sitting in the middle, coolly staring at me.

I gritted my teeth and said to Johnathan, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t come with Reynaldo?”

Johnathan chuckled and said, “I indeed didn’t come with him, but he came first.” Johnathan paused for a moment and then laughed, “What’s wrong? Esmeralda, when did you become so afraid of Reynaldo? I remember you used to be quite confident in front of him, right?”

“Who said we were afraid of him, Esmeralda!” Lavonne angrily retorted at Johnathan. Then she took my hand and said, “Come on, let’s go in. We can’t let them underestimate us.”

I walked in with a stiff scalp. I then discovered that there was a large multi-layered cake on the table. Kimberly sat beside Reynaldo, wearing a princess dress and a crown on her head.

It seems that this was Kimberly’s birthday party. Realizing this, I couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
