Tenant's Secret Love

Chapter 101: A Heavy Night

I went back to my place and opened the door to my room, but I was surprised to find Renee inside the house, she was holding a stack of papers in her hands.

I was surprised and asked, "Why did you come back, aren't you going to stay over there?"

"Came back to get the papers."

"Oh." I answered tiredly and then headed for my room.

Renee sized me up and asked me, "What's wrong with you, you look lost?"

"Lost? Just a little tired!" I coped.

Renee looked up at her watch and said, "It's 11:30pm, it's lunch time, you're tired and out of it!"

I glanced at Renee, but did not take her words, continued to walk to the room, but did not want to Renee will be in the hands of the documents placed on the coffee table, also followed me into the room.

"What are you doing in my room?"

With the logic that Renee is so good at, I expected her to say something like, "You don't go to my room too often," but instead, she just asked, "You look preoccupied! Is it about Violetta's bar and the debt she's in."

"CC even told you about that!" I sighed, I thought CC just told Renee that I went back to Suzhou for Violetta, but I didn't want her to even tell me about Violetta's debt to the loan sharks, it seems that she and Renee have really developed into close girlfriends who can't stop talking.

Renee looked at me and said to me after a long time, "If you need help you can talk to me, I think I can help."

After she finished speaking, I looked at her as well and half-heartedly changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you going to work after you pick up the paperwork? ......"

Renee didn't say anything more and finally just nodded and left my room, I thought: she must have understood that I was repulsed to ask her for help, so she didn't make a pointless insistence.

......

After Renee left, the house suddenly went quiet, and I closed my eyes and curled up under the covers, surprising myself by actually falling asleep a few moments later, and by the time I woke up, the wind had wrapped itself around dusk and hit me.

I sat on the bed in a daze for a while, remembering that I still had an appointment with Robert tonight, and hurriedly put on my jacket, and after briefly washing up in the bathroom, I hurriedly headed downstairs, and hurriedly hailed a cab toward the agreed-upon hotel.

When I arrived, a silver-white Audi A4 and a black Range Rover came head-on, I know that the Range Rover is Robert's car, and looked carefully, only to find that the person driving the A4 is Harlan, Natalie is sitting next to him, it turned out that in the months I left Harlan also bought a car, think about it, after all, he is now the Poly Department Store Planning Department of the Deputy Manager, is the need for a good car to match his identity, of course, more happy him, after all, he and Natalie's life is getting better and better.

As the two cars in front of and behind them came to a stop, Harlan and Natalie stepped out of the A4, while Brittany and Robert stepped out of both sides of the car.

Their pairs once again magnified my singularity, and my legs felt like lead as I just stood still and squeezed out some smiles as I looked at them.

Brittany and Robert were in the back, Harlan and Natalie were in the front walking towards me face to face, Harlan grumbled at me, "Lucas, you just went back to Suzhou to invite Robert and Brittany for dinner, and you didn't call me and Natalie, what do you mean?"

I just laughed, but I didn't know how to answer, at this time Harlan and Natalie still didn't know that I had already broken up with Daphne, and I was alone again, and it was hard for me to tell them about this incident, if they knew about it, they would most likely blame me.

Half the time I finally said to Harlan and Natalie, "I invite or not, aren't you all here!"

Natalie patted me on the shoulder and laughed, "Hmph...... us couples are good at doing the uninvited thing!"

I laughed in agreement, then said to Brittany and Robert, who had been standing by and watching, "Don't stand around, let's go in and sit down."

Robert smiled, Brittany then took his arm, the two first to the hotel, and I looked at the back of them walking together, the heart is filled with an indescribable taste, perhaps this three months without contact, their feelings have moved forward a lot, and I as the past tense, but gradually mottled, gradually from her memory off.

At this moment I understand, even if I rarely think of Brittany again, but really face, she will still stir my emotions, after all, once so hot love, after all, to be single to see her walk in someone else's side, and those days of forgetting her, but suddenly became deliberate.

Harlan patted the disoriented me and said, "Why are you still standing there, go in."

I nodded and followed Harlan's lead towards the hotel, then put all those negative emotions, with great difficulty, into a corner I didn't want to touch.

......

Inside the hotel's private room, 5 people sat down around the table and after ordering, they also chatted idly.

Natalie, the chatterbox, played the spirit of gossip again and asked, "Lucas, how come you didn't bring your fiancée over to Suzhou this time, ah, we all want to meet, what kind of woman makes you, the prodigal son, take in your heart."

I chose to answer Natalie's question from the side, forced a smile and said, "This time when I come back, I don't plan to go back to Xuzhou."

"Huh? That's a bit too much information!" Natalie looked at me with wide eyes and lamented.

Not only Natalie, Harlan also looked at me with a surprised look on his face, and Brittany, who had been chatting with Robert, also stopped and looked at me, waiting for my explanation.

I looked away and said after a moment of silence, "Broke up."

"No way, you guys bought all the engagement rings!" Natalie asked me again, full of shock.

I finally put on a "blissfully unconcerned" posture and said, "Even a marriage license can't bind two people who don't want to be together, let alone an engagement ring!"

Natalie asked, "Why don't you want to be together? Is it because of you, or is it because of her? Is ...... this related to your sudden return to Suzhou?"

I nodded and said, "It is related to my return to Suzhou, I have encountered a bit of trouble ...... This time, I am looking for Robert also for this matter ...... Let's eat first, and we will talk about other things later. "

Hearing me say that I ran into trouble, Harlan and Natalie both looked at me worriedly, and Brittany, who had been silent all this time, finally opened her mouth and asked, "What kind of trouble is it?"

"Say goodbye to eating first ......," I responded.

Brittany continued to look at me with a calm looking gaze, waiting for my answer, and Robert did the same.

Finally even Harlan said to me, "Don't sell yourself short, I know you Lucas don't beg easily, so something must have gone wrong this time, right?"

I looked around at the crowd waiting for an answer, knowing that I had to say it, brewed my emotions for a while, lit a cigarette, and finally said, "My friend owes a million dollars in loan sharks, things are very tricky, and I hope Robert can help me with this favor ......" Finished and thenadded, said, "I'll be honest, in the next few years, I don't necessarily have the ability to repay, but I'll certainly try to find a way."
