After fifteen minutes, Clifford and Bianca arrived at Reca Potion Bar. Clifford proceeded straight to the bar counter and ordered his drinks.
Bianca was following him behind. He looked gloomy. He was embarrassed since he overreacted a while ago.
He didn't have a close relationship with Zhen-Zhen anymore so he didn't have the right to act like that. But he couldn't help it. He was still worried about her.
Clifford was shaking his glass containing his rhum when Bianca sat on the vacant seat beside him. Clifford was very silent.
She sohow felt sorry for Clifford since he liked soone who could never be with him anymore. Her Lady Boss was married to Tristan and they loved each other so much. Clifford couldn't stand a chance.
Bianca didn't order a drink. If Clifford wanted to get drunk tonight then she had to drive the car.
Then she smiled when she recalled sothing. Clifford was different when he was drunk. He was playful and talkative but cold and silent when he was sober.
She was lost in her own thoughts when Clifford suddenly spoke up.
"Do I look pitiful to you?" Clifford asked her.
Bianca didn't realize that Clifford already turned in her direction, catching her staring at him.
Bianca imdiately looked away while pretending she didn't hear him. Clifford furrowed his eyebrows since he didn't get any response from her.
He held her rotating chair and made her face him. Bianca gasped in surprise when Clifford did that.
"Hey, what are you do-" Bianca didn't finish her sentence as Clifford's face suddenly got near her face. She gulped hard and held her breath while looking into his sharp eyes.
Clifford was looking at her intently with his serious face.
"You didn't answer . Do I look pitiful to you because I liked your Lady Boss despite the fact she's already married?"
Clifford wanted to take out his frustration on Bianca. He didn't know why he was feeling annoyed and irritated when he caught her staring at him a while ago.
"Do I look pathetic to you?" He asked her again with a solemn expression on his face.
Bianca sighed helplessly. She didn't expect that Clifford would be this affected. She wanted to cheer him up. She was not used to seeing him like this.
'Is this the usual reaction of heartbroken people?' Bianca pondered to herself. Now she kept thinking if those she turned down also experienced this.
Putting on a bright smile, Bianca wrapped her arm around Clifford's shoulder and said, "You are the mighty CEO of the Sy Corp. Who told you that you were pathetic and pitiful? Tell ! I will beat them for you!"
Clifford: "..."
Clifford watched Bianca with amusent. Then he just found himself stretching the corners of his lips, forming a small smile.
He looked away and drank his glass of rum. He thought Bianca was pitying him so he got annoyed. He didn't want to look pathetic in front of her. It was hurting his ego.
Fortunately, Bianca was able to cheer him up with her response.
"You like beating people, huh. How many guys did you beat already?" Clifford asked her with intrigue.
"Hmm, I already forgot since there were lots of them. It's too many to ntion. Hahaha," Bianca proudly said to him.
"Don't tell you also forgot about ? I am included in those people whom you beat before." Clifford reminded her.
Bianca just smiled sheepishly while scratching her face. "Ahem, Boss… past is past. Can you forget it? Besides, we are already even. I saved your life, rember?"
Clifford's lips twitched, fighting a smile. He was a little bit embarrassed as recalled so of the mories of his drunken state.
"Hmm, Thank you."
Bianca was taken aback when she heard that. She had never imagined that Clifford would suddenly thank her tonight.
"I think I didn't thank you properly the last ti you saved from getting beaten by those thugs." Clifford was being sincere right now.
Bianca let out a soft giggle since she could no longer hold her laughter. Rembering how funny Clifford was lousy fighting those thugs and provoking them further, Bianca couldn't stop herself from laughing out loud.
"Hey, why are you laughing? What's funny? I'm thanking you but you are laughing at . I feel insulted," Clifford said with a pout.
Bianca patted his back before she stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry about that. I just rembered so funny monts at that ti."
Clifford watched her in confusion. Bianca decided to elaborate on him. She told him how he provoked the thugs and how he fought the fat man with his lousy punches.
She also told him how Clifford obediently obeyed her when she told him to kick his opponent's groin. Bianca and Clifford started laughing together as they reminisced about those past monts. Clifford's mood brightened up and he had forgotten about the reason why he wanted to get drunk tonight.
"Ahem, I will tell you a secret. I don't know if you can also rember this," Bianca said, leaning over as she whispered in his ear.
Clifford glanced in her direction, giving her a questioning look.
"What secret? Can't rember what?" Clifford asked her expectantly.
He suddenly got a bad feeling after seeing Bianca's mischievous smile.
'Eh, what did I do when I got drunk?' He marveled at that thought.
Bianca leaned closer to him again. He could sll her sweet scents. For so unknown reason, Clifford suddenly felt sothing he couldn't explain.
'She slls so good. She has a vanilla scent… so sweet.' He unconsciously mumbled inwardly.
"Do you know that you call Master several tis? You praised my combat and fighting skills! You called Master as if you were my disciple."
Clifford: "..."
Clifford's body stiffened not because of her words but because of the hot feeling he got when her breath fanned his skin when she whispered in his ear.
'Damn! Am I drunk already? Why do I feel hot? And why does my body react strangely because of Bianca?'
Clifford was lost in his thoughts while Bianca was laughing when suddenly they heard their phones beeped and vibrated inside their pocket.
Clifford and Bianca exchanged glances with one another. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces.
That sound was an ergency signal coming from Alveena! What happened to her??!
