Chapter 8

An Unpleasant Experience.

Reina really wanted to go the bathroom, so she can avoid listening to another word, but her controlling husband knew she was going to pull off another stunt, besides going to the bathroom.

All she could do was day dream, so the evening could go faster. It only lasted a few minutes, until she felt a hand touching her upper thigh. That snapped her back to reality, she notices that it wasn't her husband's hand. It was Mr. Garcia's hand.

No words could describe what she was feeling. She grabs a napkin and pushes his hand off her leg. Mr. Garcia puts his hand on her thigh again and grips it tighter.

"Unf*cking believable!" She says in her mind.

He was even moving closer to her. Mateo was too busy drinking wine and laughing along with the others. Pretty soon, Reina felt extremely uncomfortable. Reina puts on a resting bitch face on and looks at Mr. Garcia.

"Get your crusty hand off me..." She whispers.

"I'm just getting started with you baby." He leans in and whispers in her ear.

Reina puts her hand on her mouth from preventing herself to throw up in front of everyone. If trash was considered a person, then Mr. Garcia would be a perfect role model.

Reina wanted to escape from this horrible nightmare. She then purposely drops her drink on her legs. She got up and grabs a napkin.

"Babe!" Mateo also gets up.

"I'm so sorry everyone! I accidentally spilled wine all over my feet! I'll be back, I just need to clean myself!" Reina walks off.

"Sorry guys. Let's get back to our conversation." Mateo sits back down.

Reina pretends to go the bathroom. She took the opportunity to run out of the restaurant. Her foot may have been sprained but she would rather jumped off a cliff than to spend another minute eating with those selfish and ungrateful people.

She was finally several blocks away from the horrible restaurant. She soon found a bench and sat down on it.

"Ow!" She rubs her ankle.

"I won't make it back to my penthouse unless I take the subway, but I'm too damn exhausted."

Reina slowly got up from the bench and quenches in pain every-time she takes a step on her sprained ankle.

"TAXI!!" Reina waves her hand.

But all the taxis kept ignoring her. She fell on her knees. She may be a heartless person with a soft spot for her daughter, but right now she felt like letting go of all her emotions.

"I can't cry! I'm Reina Lee! I can't display any weakness in front of everyone!"

But in that moment, she had that one particular person in mind. And that person was the one and only Jaehyun.

"Why is he on my mind? That idiot hasn't texted me since Saturday afternoon!"

A few moments of silence went by and she couldn't take it anymore.
