A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Unwilling to give up, Louis chased after Taylor once more. She was already pretty far away when he got out of the club, so he had to make his voice louder in order to be heard.

"I don't want you to think that I'm a frivolous man. That's why I want to explain my relationship with that woman inside. I'm not the type of person who would date two girls at the same time. I won't be in a relationship with any other girl while pursuing you. She and I are just business partners. And we were having a business meeting together."

Even though he and Janet had agreed to deceive their parents and pretend to date, Louis didn't consider that as cheating on Taylor. When he saw her stop walking, he couldn't help but flash a hopeful smile. Maybe this time, he could finally win her heart.

"Taylor, my love for you remains the same. Why can't you just give me a chance? The past doesn't matter anymore. What's important is the future. Don't you think so?"

Louis thought that with his affectionate words, he must have touched Taylor's heart at least a little. He wasn't expecting her to reply to him in a mocking tone.

"Louis Ke, are you sure you're good at lying to others? Did you really think I would believe you when you told me she's just a business partner? You don't normally buy your business partner lavish gifts. And if she was just a business partner, why would you allow her to adjust your tie? Forget it. This conversation is pointless. We don't need to talk about anything between us,"

Taylor told him with gritted teeth. Once she finished talking, she started to walk away again without looking back.

As night arrived, the city was filled with dazzling lights. People were drinking and talking happily with each other.

"What are you doing here?" Louis looked up at the person who sat at the table and lowered his head back down to continue drinking. Right now, he was in no mood to deal with anything, not even his parents' demands.

The only thing on his mind was how cold and angry Taylor had been when she had left him…again.

Janet had been a witness to everything that had happened with Taylor earlier. When she looked at the depressed man sitting in front of her, she couldn't help but smile. She found the entire situation quite entertaining.

"Mr. Ke, I saw you come here to the bar by yourself." There was a hint of playfulness in her tone. "I was worried about you, so I followed you here to make sure you were safe."

The truth was that she had followed him to this bar not because of the reason she had stated, but because she was curious about what would happen after.

An eerie silence was the only reply that Louis decided to give. It was clear that he didn't want to be bothered by anyone. In fact, he just wanted to drink alone.

However, Janet didn't notice his annoyance or she just didn't care.
