Jerk Fiancé

Chapter 7Party

Jack's apartment is next to the university town, and there are plenty of bars nearby.

Lilith found herself at the bar as if under a spell. The entrance and corridor of the bar were like overturned paint buckets, covered with all kinds of graffiti. In fact, Lilith wasn't much interested in alcohol; she just couldn't help herself.

In this dim and ambiguous environment, Lilith was entranced, staring at the band performing vigorously on the stage as if the entire world had shrunk down to just them.

The colorful lights kept flashing, imprinting many scenes back into Lilith's mind. It was all so chaotic and disordered.

No one knew that in fact, when Lilith first entered the Green Group, it was arranged by Jack's grandfather, who was also the chairman of the Green Group.

During the graduation season of the university, Lilith was also caught up in the flood of fresh graduates looking for jobs. When she received a call for an interview from the Green Group, she was quite surprised.

She had spent a month preparing her interview materials with great care, but they turned out to be of no use. The chairman of the board only asked her one question, "Would you like to make a deal with me?"

It was only when the bartender placed the glass in front of Lilith that she came to her senses. The pale blue liquid swirled in the glass, giving off a beautiful and sweet temptation.

Lilith lifted her wine glass, took a sip, and then set it down without touching it again.

The sweetness at the entrance is merely the disguise of strong liquor. Just as she likes Jack, it's nothing but being cute to please.

After sitting in the bar for a while, Lilith felt a bit sleepy. She left the bar. The night wind blew on her face, bringing a bit of clarity. Lilith held the phone and walked towards the parking lot.

Green has been busy with a big deal recently. Lilith has been running around after him every day, often working late into the night. It wasn't until she was bombarded with messages that she remembered what Owens had said earlier about organizing a trip to the resort area recently.

Lilith wasn't very familiar with Owens, but Owens was quite close to Jack and Tony. He even pulled her into the group chat.

Lilith idly opened her phone and clicked into the social media app. The message notification sounds in the group chat were like lit firecrackers, going off non-stop. She casually swiped the screen, browsing through the messages in the group and found that everyone was enthusiastically discussing a certain topic.

Her eyes quickly scanned the list of group members. Suddenly, a familiar name caught her eye - Winnie. Lilith had some impression of this name. She remembered that Jack had once brought a girl to the party before, and that girl was Winnie.

Lilith couldn't help but recall that party. At that time, everyone was having a great time. As a salaryman who often works overtime, Lilith's life is almost filled with work. She rarely has time to take part in such outdoor activities.

Although she doesn't dislike socializing, she prefers to stay at home in her spare time, reading books, listening to music or watching TV series, enjoying her own peaceful moments. She just doesn't have much interest in those physically demanding outdoor activities.

Just as I was about to pretend I didn't see it, Owens' message popped up: The number of people was confirmed earlier and the rooms have all been booked. Everyone is coming, so don't miss out.

Lilith was speechless, shook her head, but could only follow Owens.

When was the number of people decided? How come she doesn't know?

The time was set for the weekend. When Lilith arrived at the appointed place, most people had already arrived.

Tony leaned against his car and greeted her, "Good morning."

Lilith glanced at him. "Was it you who told Owens that I was going?"

"Appropriate exercise is good for the body."

"Are we all here?" It was so hot that even at nine o'clock, people couldn't stand it. Some began to urge to set off.

Parker looked around and said, "Wait a moment. Jack hasn't come yet."

Hardly had the words been spoken when a Cadillac pulled up.

The car pulled up beside Lilith's, and Winnie jumped out of it at once. Jack remained in the driver's seat.

He rested one hand on the steering wheel and held a Bluetooth headset by his ear with the other, talking on the phone.

Lilith guessed it was probably Amy.

"Miss Lilith, long time no see. You're going too?" Winnie got off the car and walked towards Lilith. The young girl's smile was full of vitality.

Lilith smiled at her. "You look like you've recovered well."

"Well, thanks to Mr. Jack. If it weren't for him sending me to the hospital in time and accompanying me for the follow-up checkup later, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Lilith raised her eyes to look at Jack, somewhat surprised. Jack sensed her gaze, his eyes turned, and their glances met instantly.

However, in an instant, Jack averted his gaze, and Lilith quickly did the same.

Everyone's here. Let's go.

Winnie waved at Lilith. "Miss Lilith, see you later."

With that, she hopped over and pulled open the passenger door of Jack's car.

Lilith watched her back, not knowing whether Amy knew that her front passenger seat had already been taken. She also didn't know what her reaction would be when she found out. Lilith still had some expectations.
