Man, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 7 Getting Drunk in a Bar

An entertainment news program was being shown on the TV. Almost everyone in the coffee shop was watching.

It was just a talk show, and normally no one would be paying any attention to the uneventful interviews. Today, however, the show featured a special on notorious businessman Jeremy Ou. They were airing footage that had been taken in secret.

The video was not of very high resolution. Still, Jeremy was clearly visible as he visited Jessie's house at night. They embraced each other at the doorway and entered the house with their arms wrapped around each other.

The video even showed the time he entered, and how many hours passed before he finally left.

The segment wasn't a long one. Before long, it had been replaced by other gossips about someone else. Still, even after the video ended, Sherry kept visualizing how Jessie had jumped so passionately into the arms of Jeremy. It felt like the scene had been imprinted into her brain.

Linda's mouth formed an "o" of surprise as she watched. As soon as it was over, she turned to her friend. Sherry was sipping at her drink with a dejected expression on her face.

Linda sighed and bit her lips. She toyed nervously with her straw.

She was close to Sherry, and had known her for a long time. She was one of the few people in the world who knew that Sherry had married Jeremy. Linda was probably the person who knew the most about the true nature of the relationship between Sherry and Jeremy.

She reached out and gently touched her friend's hand. "Sherry, don't overthink this. You know how the paparazzi are. They invent so many stories just to get viewers to watch. I know you two, and I know how nice he was to you before you got married..."

In fact, Linda was certain that the video shown on TV was true. But she couldn't say that to her best friend. She could only comfort her.

"I'm fine. Don't worry," said Sherry. She forced a smile and shook her head.

Like Linda, she fully believed that the video had shown the truth.
