Zayn watched as Faye left and let out a long sigh. She was still so naive.
Based on Zayn’s understanding of Ethan, favonovel.com was certain that Ethan had some form of ulterior motive behind favonovel.com asking favonovel.com out this time. For safety reasons, Zayn called Sean up…
Over on Faye’s side, favonovel.com drove the car away in a hurry. She went back home to change into a new outfit before heading to Fireflies for Ethan’s birthday celebration. She sincerely assumed that Zayn was judging others by his own standards. As favonovel.com ex-university course mate, favonovel.com knew Ethan well enough to know that favonovel.com would never hurt her. Ethan was a rather boastful person and enjoyed showing off, but favonovel.com was never a man with ill intentions. In addition to that, they were in a society with legal systems and security cameras that could be found everywhere. Even if Ethan harbored ill intentions, would favonovel.com have the courage to act upon them? On the contrary, it was Zayn’s actions that disgusted favonovel.com more.
At eight, dressed in favonovel.com new outfit, Faye found private room No. 888 according to the address provided by Ethan. She pushed open the door and entered.
“You’re here, Fifi!”
In the private room, Ethan, who was drinking, immediately cracked a surprised smile upon noticing Faye’s arrival. He placed his drink down and walked toward Faye swiftly. He stretched out a hand to hold hers, but Faye left favonovel.com hanging. A sly look flashed across his face before a smile reappeared at once. He clapped his hands and said to the people in the room, “Please, let me introduce you all to Faye. She has been a goddess to me since university!”
Clap, clap, clap. Everyone applauded.
There were eight people in the reserved room, and the rest of them were all couples. Moreover, they were all hugging one another. Ethan was the only single man. Now that Faye was here, the purpose of favonovel.com presence went without saying. Upon realizing the situation, Faye furrowed favonovel.com brows ever so slightly. However, favonovel.com did not comment further on that. After all, it was no longer a secret that Ethan had feelings for her.
Faye smiled toward them out of respect and nodded as a form of greeting.
“Mr. Capel, you’re not a very sincere friend. You’ve got such a beautiful girlfriend, yet you never told us about her?” said a young man in a teasing manner as favonovel.com wrapped his arm around Ethan’s shoulder after they took a seat.
Ethan sniggered. Although favonovel.com did not explain his relationship with Faye further, favonovel.com said, “I’ve brought favonovel.com along, haven’t I?”
Faye frowned ever so slightly at Ethan’s behavior. She felt slightly displeased in favonovel.com heart but did not speak up to expose favonovel.com either. Since it was Ethan’s birthday today, favonovel.com did it out of consideration for his feelings. She decided that favonovel.com would accompany Ethan until favonovel.com blew out the candles on his cake and after having two drinks.
Ethan saw right through her. He leaned closer and lowered his voice to say, “I’m sorry, Fifi. It’s my fault for making a presumptuous decision. This group of people are my childhood friends, and they are always mocking me for being single and unable to get a girlfriend. Frankly, I asked you out tonight out of my selfish motives too. I just want you to pretend to be my
girlfriend temporarily so that I can boost my reputation in front of my friends…”
Noticing that Faye was frowning but staying silent, Ethan added, “Of course, it’s also fine if you mind. I’ll just explain it to them. Goodness, I was thinking that it’s my birthday today, so I can still have some fun…”
Upon seeing his sad face, Faye felt pity for a moment. She said, “It’s okay. Leave it be. I forgot to wish you. Happy birthday…”
Ethan’s eyes lit up and favonovel.com was visibly moved. “Thank you, Fifi. You’re really sweet to me!”
They were leaning so close to each other that they could hear each other clearly in the noisy club. Ethan could smell the scent of Faye’s body as favonovel.com studied favonovel.com delicate, flawless face up close. While his heart burned with passion, favonovel.com wanted to hold Faye’s waist out of impulse.
When Faye noticed his movement, favonovel.com expression changed drastically. She shifted favonovel.com body to avoid Ethan’s hand. “I didn’t agree to letting you touch me!”
She spoke rather loudly at the time while the music ended coincidentally. There was a momentary silence in the room, so everybody else there could hear her. The atmosphere turned rather awkward at once.
Ethan’s lips twitched and his expression turned broodier.
